“Tigers, except when wounded or when man-eaters, are on the whole very good-tempered...Occasionally, a tiger will object to too close an approach to its cubs or to a kill that it is guarding.

If these warnings are disregarded, the blame for any injury inflicted rests entirely with the intruder.” –Jim Corbett
