Hey Tiger, You’ll Only Be Hungry Again In An Hour

Tigers Attack Bus at Chinese Safari Park

JINAN, China - A group of Chinese tourists endured a wild bus ride through a safari park when they were ambushed by a streak of fierce tigers.

A ’streak’ of tigers? one second [puts on pedant hat and gets out The Boys Own Book of Collective Nouns for Groups of Animals]

Well what do you know, a group of Tigers can be a ‘Streak’  I however prefer an ‘Ambush of Tigers’ (not literally)

The group of 27 terrified tourists hid under seats when eight Bengal tigers attacked their bus at the Paomaling Wild Life Animal World in the eastern city of Jinan,

The tigers smashed the windows of the bus and chewed on its tires during the 20-minute ordeal, which took place Saturday.

Pretty frightening I think you’ll agree, an animal not known for cooperating , gangs up ( and I presume got tooled up, if they smashed the windows) all to attack a bus.

But wait, that’s not the really scary bit.

This is

To make matters worse, [Ed: It could be ‘worse’?] the attack happened in a spot with no cell phone reception. When the bus managed to reach the gate of the tiger enclosure, it was locked because the guard was off having lunch.

Mobile blind spot?  OK , Guard at lunch?, it happens, mans got to eat.

But both at the same time, too much of a coincidence , that is a level of planning that is scary

I was hoping we could just about cope with the ruminants, they are as dumb as soup (and a frequently made into.) these days they can barely close a road with a ‘suicide attack’

But when the Apex predators start cooperating and planning, we are, to use a a bit of rhyming slang, truly Donald Ducked.
