re masks

The Sunderbans is a large patch of forest covering an area in Bangladesh and India. Over a period between 1956 - 1983 there have been 554 deaths attributed to tigers. Most casualties were or woodcutters in the forest who fell behind their group. Researchers are not sure what causes the tigers to attack humans, since there is an abundance of prey in the area. Oddly enough, a very unusual measure to prevent tiger attacks has been successful : people entering the woodlands have begun to wear masks on the backs of their heads, giving the appearance that they are facing both ways.
