You can get up off the couch and walk into another room. Could this infant make that same choice?
Point being, animals are unpredictable. Does it really matter if the tiger attacked or was protecting him, the result was poor Roy ended up in the hospital and a lot of others ended up without jobs. But like someone has already mentioned he made a decision for himself to be in that line of business, but the infant has made no such decision. He just ended up with a crazy Aussie father who likes to include him in his acts..As for Roy, I heard he slipped during a performance and the noise of the crowd, the lights, etc,. spooked the tiger which, according to Seigfried, was trying to protect him from a perceived danger. The tiger treated him like a cub in danger, grabbed him with his jaws and dragged him off the stage. But because Roy weighs more than a cub, the tiger had to apply more pressure with his jaws to drag him. Sounds logical, the tiger didn't actually maul him on the spot but tried to drag him away from the danger... Roy had only a handful of puncture wounds from the tiger's teeth, a mauling would have ripped him to shreds with the claws doing most of the damage...Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul TighComment

I imagine so, he'd probably be dead if the tiger was trying to kill him.Does it really matter if the tiger attacked or was protecting him

IIRC, they are more stage magicians than animal handlers. Besides, crocs don't overrun humans on land, tigers do.Originally posted by Skanky Burns

Bullcrap - I've been in croc country and the most chilling observation made by a ranger was the crocodile was the fastest animal over 20 or 30 metres. The way it hunts is to lunge head first at prey drinking on riverbanks. The main message being if you got too close to the water you stood no chance of outrunning a croc.Originally posted by Urban Ranger
Crocs generally don't lunge forward. If it did, it'd gnaw on his leg first. It's not a wise move, but he probably knows more about crocs than you know about beer.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..
Look, I just don't anymore, okay?Comment

Crocs can run very very fast, just not for a long time. Most species can "run" at 11kph, and some can even reach a speed of 17kph.
For the lazy:
People often ask whether it's possible to outrun a crocodile, and the answer is yes! Don't bother trying to zigzag while you run, though — just cut a nice, straight line away from the crocodile as fast as you can, and you'll easily beat it. The danger that crocodiles pose is not their ability to run after you, but their ability to strike before you even know what's happening. In other words, keep your distance and you'll be safe.
Not that it makes much difference at the distance his child was from the croc. Nor would a baby be able to outrun anything.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

Anything can outrun anything for the first few feet, mainly because that implies that the target is nearby and is caught unaware.Rethink Refuse Reduce Reuse
