Tigers have the greatest reputation as man-eaters, especially in India. Currently, with greatly reduced numbers of tigers, attacks on people have been relatively rare, except in the Sundarbans mangrove forest fringing the Bay of Bengal in India and Bangladesh. The recent annual toll of people in the Indian Sundarbans tiger reserve has fluctuated between 66 in 1975-76; 15 in 1989 and 42 in 1992. Most deaths have been of fisherfolk, wood-cutters and honey-collectors illegally entering the reserve. The high 1992 figure is attributed to illegal entry by people, including young children, seeking to benefit from lucrative prawn harvesting. Earlier, management measures including the use of human face masks on the back of the head to deter tigers (which usually attack from the rear), appeared to be reducing the toll. New data suggests that tigers are beginning to realize the difference between a mask and the real face of a person - so predation may go up again. Many deaths arise from accidental confrontations in which the tiger makes a defensive attack. A chance encounter in which such a tiger kills someone in a defensive reaction and feeds on the body may lead it to target people as easy prey. A man-eating tigress may introduce her cubs to human prey. But deaths and injuries caused by surprised tigers or a tigress defending her cubs from intrusion do not usually lead to man-eating..
