A Bengal tiger snatched a man off a fishing boat in eastern India, dragging him away into a mangrove swamp as his children looked on in horror, the man's son said Friday.

The tiger "quickly flung my father on his back and gave a giant leap before disappearing into the forest," Jyotish said by telephone from his village in Lahiriur in West Bengal state. He said he and his sister tried to beat the animal with sticks and a knife, but the thrashing had no effect. His father was dragged away and was presumed dead.

And here's a story that you don't often hear about.

I was going to make a Life of Pi joke, but nevermind. That's really f'ed up.

I almost commented, "what a drag" in reference to the guy being dragged away, but I thought the same.

And here I was thinking this was going to be a story about Tiger Woods finding a new caddie in India.

The family should just move to Dubai. Apparently the Bengal tigers in Dubai are way tamer.
