This is the furious fang-baring jaws of a man-eating tiger believed to have killed three people in the Malaysian jungle in just two months.

The big cat was trapped and caged as it stalked Pos Pasik village, in the Malaysian state of Kelantan, by National Parks wildlife experts on 13th November.

Terrified villagers called them in after the gruesome, half-eaten remains of a 25-year-old man were found.

The tiger had eaten his left thigh and ripped off both legs and his face, according to local media.

Video footage of the captured tiger shows it in a temporary transport cage being hosed down by a wildlife worker.

Whether that was to cool off the big cat or to wash away traces of blood is unclear.

The furious tiger bares its huge razor-sharp teeth and growls furiously as it is soaked by the water while rescuers keep their distance from its powerful jaws.

In another kill, a 22-year-old man who was tapping rubber from rubber trees died in hospital after the tiger ambushed him from behind, biting his neck and head.

Wildlife experts advised villagers and plantation workers to protect themselves from other tigers in the area.

Local national parks director Mohamad Hafid Rohani said: “Plantation and private workers are advised not to work alone and always work in groups, and not to provoke any wildlife.”
