Wild cat bite--a narrow escape.
An unusual case is reported of a tiger bite and trauma to the maxillofacial region of a 45-year-old male patient. Wild animal assaults on the general population are on the increase in India and it is possible that further such cases will occur. The increased attacks could be a result of massive deforestation, resulting in disturbance to the ecosystem and tampering of the natural habitat of the royal cat.
