Publisher Description:
For centuries along the Bay of Bengal, tigresses have taught their cubs to hunt humans. Tigers swim out to boats and seize fishermen, carrying away full-grown human bodies as easily as a cat holds a fish. On land they ambush honey gatherers and woodcutters, striking most often by daylight. Tigers stalk the mangroves, living on salt water and flesh, hunting human flesh by stealth. This book is a deep quest by a superb nature writer to plumb the reality of the Sundarbans, one of the world's great tidal deltas, and one of the last hunting grounds of the Bengal tiger. The people of the Sundarbans see the huge, silent killer not only as prey sees its predator, but as a holy man sees his god.
