[edit] Giant Tiger Story
There's a story in this article about an enormous tiger that theoretically terrorized some Vietnamese villages before being shot. The original version of this story read like pulp fiction so I tried to condense it and make it more formal, but I'm not sure if this story is true. Can anyone provide a source for it? -UberMan5000 18:58, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- I believe it to be true. The fact that we don't have a source doesn't mean it didn't happen. I mean, there was an entire village that suffered. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.93.236 (talk) 23:34, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

The photo of Houston's animal needs to be removed as Houston does not have an Indochinese but rather a Malayan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbnbsn99 (talk • contribs) 22:43, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Indochinese tigers are very powerful. In Vietnam, there is a documented case of a large male that was killed in 1984 near the Vietnam-Laos border. This tiger, with a total length of 2.8 m (9 ft) and a total weight of about 250 kg (550 lb), had terrorized villages in its territory for a number of years before being killed. It had killed over ten buffaloes in the villages, despite the villager's attempts to stop it. When one village built a 3 meter(9.8 ft)fence around the cattle enclosure, the tiger managed to jump this fence, kill a calf, and jump back over, holding the 60 kg (130 lb) animal in its mouth. The tiger was finally killed when villagers set up a gun trap on a discarded buffalo carcass, which the tiger set off when he tried to take the buffalo away. The tiger's body was found by a stream about 2 kilometres (1.2 miles) away from the trap site, meaning that the tiger could still go that far after suffering a mortal wound.
