Her husband, Tambun was hunting squirrels at a jungle near his home when the tiger attacked him. He tried to escape by climbing a tree but the tiger dragged him down. He also punched the tiger in the face but that did not stop it from attacking him. Tambun wrestled with the tiger to keep its jaws away from him. According to him, if his wife had not come to his aid, the tiger would have clawed him to death.

Tambun who suffered lacerations on his face and legs is now being treated at the hospital. The state wildlife department is trying to track down the tiger and chase it further away into the remote parts of the jungle where there are no inhabitants.

The next time you venture into a jungle, always remember to bring two things along. A large wooden soup ladle and a loving wife. They have proven to be life savers for one man.
