On this podcast we’ve covered well over 170 crazy true stories, and several of those have been about animal attacks.

I’ve had guests on who have been attacked by a rattlesnake, large dogs, an alligator, a monkey, a grizzly bear, an elephant, yellow jackets, and a shark.

But we’ve never talked to a victim of a tiger attack – until today.

Ironically, John was working in Russia as part of a conservation effort to protect tigers and other wild cats when this happened.

And the only thing he had to protect himself from the lunging tiger was a road flare.
