A woman was hospitalized with serious injuries after fighting off a tiger that was trying to take her baby in India.

Her 15-month-old son also suffered injuries to his head in the attack Sunday on the outskirts of the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in northeast India, the BBC reported.

Archana Choudhary was taking her son, Raviraj, outside their hut to relieve himself when a tiger, believed to have come from the nearby reserve in Madhya Pradesh, attacked, according to the outlet.

The pair were in a field when the tiger came out of the bushes and attacked the infant.

The Times of India reported the tiger grabbed the baby's head with its mouth and was trying to pull the child away when the mother jumped in and tried to fight off the tiger. Her screams for help attracted villagers from nearby areas who arrived with sticks and drove away the tiger.

The woman suffered a punctured lung and serious wounds to her body, and her son suffered a head wound, according to the BBC. A doctor told the outlet both were being treated in a hospital's intensive care unit and had been given anti-rabies injections.

Damn. Tough and Crazy woman.

Where’s ole Jim Corbett when you need him. 😜

The villagers arrived with sticks... Guessing there aren't any cartels in that part of the world.

I braced myself for anything opening this thread...

LOL

You and me both brother, especially considering Roger posted this with a catchy title. In fact the title is so catchy that I’m lost as to what the “flaps”….I’m just glad that we don’t have pictures of the “big flaps”. 😂

Thought this was going to be another Hillary thread.
Huma's head got lost in there or some such.

LMAO !

I remember this Club magazine (not something one forgets) my dad had from about 1980 where they were stretched out and tied into... Oh nevermind. 😜

Well, I doubt she had balls, not the US remember.

Was rafting on the middle-fork. In camp, a few drinks in. Buddy's wife was struggling with a zipper. One of the guys says, "Got shit in your flaps? "

I piped up, "Front to back! Front to back!". Her husband, Dewey, quickly gave me the the thumbs up.

That's what went through my mind when reading the thread title.

Tigers gonna eat.

Welcome to the jungle.
