If you happen to be near a tiger without a barrier to safely observe it, then you are definitely in danger. Always avoid areas where tigers may appear. If you’re unfortunate enough to encounter them, follow some essential steps to reduce your chances of being attacked and know what to do if they start attacking you.
Steps
Defend yourself when attacked by a tiger

Try to stay calm and step back slowly. If you spot a tiger stalking or have begun to growl and look like it’s about to start an attack, try to stay calm. Do not look him in the eye, but stand facing him. Try not to turn your back and run away, but slowly back away.
- Continue to move backwards until you can no longer see the tiger, then turn your back and quickly move away from that place.

Make yourself bigger. Try to be brave. No matter what you do, don’t run. Running away is not only futile but also encourages tigers to attack. If your actions inadvertently encourage the tiger to chase, the risk of the tiger attacking you is very high, even if it did not intend to do this before. While slowly backing out, try to stay as upright as possible. [1] X Research Source
- Stand up straight so you don’t appear to be helpless prey.
- When you shrink, you will become weaker and smaller – both of which increase the risk that the tiger will attack.

Threaten and attack tigers with sound. Even simple sounds can frighten him if he has never heard them before. Make noise with whatever you have, especially if those things can make loud and weird sounds.
- If you have a shotgun, shoot in the air to scare the tiger.
- If there are flares, light them and hold them forward.
- Knock or shake metal or glass objects together.
- If you want to scream to scare the tiger, then scream loudly. If your scream shows anxiety, it will most likely incite the tiger to attack.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3c/Survive-a-Tiger-Attack-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Survive-a- Tiger-Attack-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3c/Survive-a-Tiger-Attack-Step-4- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Survive-a-Tiger-Attack-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Do all you can to survive. Once the tiger has started attacking it will not stop. Keep making as much noise as you can and use all you can to shield yourself and counterattack to defend yourself. Avoid fake death; If the tiger wants to attack to eat you, it will eat you without hesitation. Remember that the best chance of survival is to make the tiger run away, to do so you have to scare it or injure it. [2] X Research Source
- If you are lucky enough to survive a tiger attack, try to stop the bleeding and seek medical help as quickly as possible.
Face off against tigers that have the ability to attack
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f7/Survive-a-Tiger-Attack-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Survive-a- Tiger-Attack-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f7/Survive-a-Tiger-Attack-Step-5- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Survive-a-Tiger-Attack-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Avoid approaching an escaped tiger. If you see a tiger escaping, don’t think it’s docile or friendly with humans. Tigers in captivity will be easily agitated when in unfamiliar environments and are prone to attack people. [3] X Research Sources
Try to distract the tiger and hide. Leave personal belongings behind when backing away, as these can cause curiosity and distraction for a moment. If you can’t escape from that place, try to hide well. [4] X Research Sources
- Once you have found a hiding place, if you want to distract the tiger by throwing objects away to lure it in that direction, be extremely cautious. Doing so can also make it detect where you’re hiding. Therefore, it is best to throw your belongings on the street before hiding.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/50/Survive-a-Tiger-Attack-Step-7.jpg/v4-728px-Survive-a-Tiger-Attack- Step-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/50/Survive-a-Tiger-Attack-Step-7.jpg/v4-728px-Survive- a-Tiger-Attack-Step-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Do not challenge the tiger in any way. You should not do this to tigers or any other large animal. Tigers will respond to aggression with aggression and will defend themselves by attacking. [5] X Research Source Do not throw anything at the tiger or try to hit it with something.
- If you must attack a tiger to distract it from attacking others, use whatever you can and hit it as hard as you can.
- Shout repeatedly to scare and distract it from the victim.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4c/Survive-a-Tiger-Attack-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Survive-a-Tiger-Attack- Step-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4c/Survive-a-Tiger-Attack-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Survive- a-Tiger-Attack-Step-8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Stay away from old or injured tigers. Although old or injured tigers may appear weak and need help, they are still particularly dangerous. Even if you encounter a tiger in very bad health, you need to be extremely careful. [6] X Research Sources
- In the wild, you are more likely to come across tigers in poor health, as tigers that are not as capable of hunting as they would be when healthy will seek out easily accessible prey such as livestock.
- This will cause them to come closer to humans than usual.

Do not go near tiger cubs. No matter how much you love them or find them adorable, you should never get close to the cubs. The mother tiger’s protective instinct is very scary and it will be ready to attack if it feels the cubs are threatened. Do not approach or interact with tiger cubs in any way if you see them. [7] X Research Sources
- In the wild, you will rarely see tiger cubs because they are very well protected by the mother tiger. So, if you see a pack of tiger cubs roaming around alone, it doesn’t mean the mother tiger isn’t somewhere nearby.
Prevent tiger attack

Travel with a tour guide in an area that is tiger territory. Although you can only see tigers in the wild in a few parts of the world, these places are sometimes open to tourists. If you’re going to visit somewhere where tigers roam freely, hire a guide just to be on the safe side.
- Often organizations that care about the health of wildlife will provide information that tells you how to stay safe and avoid dangerous situations in certain areas.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1b/Survive-a-Tiger-Attack-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Survive-a-Tiger-Attack- Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1b/Survive-a-Tiger-Attack-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Survive- a-Tiger-Attack-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Keep quiet and stand still if you see the tiger before it sees you. If the tiger is not aware of your presence, try to get out of that area before it is detected. If you move, it will be easy to attract the tiger’s attention, so wait until the tiger leaves on its own. When it starts to move, move cautiously in a safe direction, ideally against the direction of the tiger’s movement. [8] X Research Sources

Do not accidentally encroach on the tiger’s territory markings. In other words, don’t urinate in tiger territory. The simple act of urinating can be seen as aggressive behavior by the tiger and it will see you as a threat if you pee in its territory. You should drink enough water and defecate before entering tiger territory. [9] X Research Source

Wear a double-sided mask. If you are visiting somewhere – such as the Ganges Delta in India – where many people are often killed by tiger attacks, you should consider wearing a double-faced mask. Masks worn behind the head will deceive tigers, which love to stalk behind potential prey. [10] X Research Source
- By tricking the tiger that you have eyes in the back, you will most likely avoid becoming its next meal.
- According to observations, although tigers stalk people, they do not attack people wearing double-faced masks.
Warning
- Avoid climbing the tree to escape from the tiger. Although tigers do not usually climb trees, they are quite capable of this and can climb up with you if they want to. If you are stuck and have no choice but to climb a tree, try to climb up to the top where the branches are smaller. The tiger is the largest cat in the world and has a huge weight. Therefore, you are much lighter than them and can climb higher up small branches. However, it is still best to slowly back away from the tiger and simply avoid tiger areas whenever possible.
- Never catch or kill a tiger unless you have no other choice because tigers are one of the most endangered species.
- If bitten by a tiger, you should seek medical help to avoid infection.
