Do tigers try to hurt us?

No, tigers do not "try to hurt you". However, like most wild animals - and ALL varieties of cat! - tigers play only one game. This game is called "Catch it And Eat It". Even when the tiger is not particularly hungry, his "games" and play behaviors are focused on hunting. It is not uncommon for humans to be injured, and occasionally killed, when they play with tigers.

For example, Roy Horn, of "Sigfried and Roy", was almost killed by his tiger Montecore during a Las Vegas show on October 3, 2003. We may never really know why the tiger "attacked", but some animal experts believe that after Roy stumbled and fell, the tiger was trying to pick Roy up and carry him to safety, much like mother cat will do for her kittens. Unfortunately, being "rescued" by a tiger's teeth can look a lot like being eaten or mauled.
