cannibal
Now first of all let us understand what is the meaning of cannibal. Let us tell you that the word cannibal is made up of the Arabic word ‘Adam’ and the Persian word ‘Khor’. It means ‘man eater’. In simple language, the word cannibal is used for the animal that eats humans or makes humans its food.
When do animals become cannibals?
Now many times the question arises that when does an animal become a man-eater. According to information, it is said that when wolves, tigers and other animals taste human blood, they become addicted to it. Then when they feel hungry, they start looking for humans instead of their other prey. It is also believed that when these animals do not find prey, they become man-eaters.
Tiger man-eater
It is said about the tiger that when it is injured or old, it preys on humans. According to Dr. Ajit Kumar, who was the veterinary officer of Patna Zoo, the report of ‘DB’ states that due to lack of food or forest, tigers become man-eaters. After becoming man-eaters, they come out of the forest and prey on humans in the adjacent and nearby areas. During this time, they target not only humans but sometimes even cattle.
Not getting food is also a reason
According to the forest department team, wild animals like lions, tigers and wolves become man-eaters only when they do not get enough food in the forest. Apart from this, once they start eating human flesh, they start liking this type of meat. In rural areas, it is easier for them to attack small children than adults. That is why they mostly target children.
