From one of my favorite magazine stories ever, about the crazy Zanesville Zoo story:
Quote:

The tiger jumped, straight up and out. That's what separated the tigers: It was the ground they could cover, even after they had been shot dozens of times. "They thrashed," Lawhorne says, searching for the right words. "They somersaulted." The other animals, even the lions, went down when they were shot; the tigers went up. Bullets turned them into birds. They flew.

Tigers are some bad motherfuckers. If it got on you too quickly, it might be able to take you out even if you hit it first. In that case, you'd both be dead.
