As the star of The Birds, Tippi Hedren developed a profound understanding with all forms of wildlife – except for her tigers, which still go around indiscriminately mauling folk.

A tiger living the animal sanctuary owned by actress Tippi Hedren – who, along with The Birds, has also starred in The Birds II and one episode of Murder She Wrote – has attacked and mauled a caretaker who was cleaning out its enclosure, leaving him in a critical condition with multiple bite wounds. Speaking of the attack, Hedren said "What makes these animals so dangerous is for no reason at all this kind of accident can happen."

Which is funny, because we always assumed that what made tigers so dangerous is the fact that they're sodding tigers, you massive idiot.
