Well, I was in Kuala Rompin, flyfishing for sailfish. After a slow day on the water, I decided to take a break from fishing and go to the Endau-Rompin National Park in Pahang, Johor to see what I could see. After our small group hiked an hour or two into the rainforest, dodging elephant poop along the way, we came upon a beautiful waterfall and decided to sit for awhile and see if anything interesting came along. I saw a few tapir and Malayan wild boar, as well as macaques. I was hoping to see a leopard or Sumatran rhinoceros, but no luck. Just as we were about to give up and head back to the village, there was noise from the forest and the Jakun guide held up his hand and motioned to be quiet and still. In a few minutes, a small group of elephants moved into the small clearing in front of us and some began to drink from the river above the waterfall. One very young baby seemed to be having obvious problems moving, with an apparent leg injury. As we were all focused on the elephants, we did not notice a Malayan tiger until it pounced from the forest on the injured baby. Well, one of the ladies in the group was not prepared to see nature in the raw. She screamed and ran down the hill toward the tiger and elephant, grabbing the tiger by the tail when she got there. The surprised tiger let go and started running straight for the group, most of whom scattered like quail. And the crazy lady refused to let go. Fortunately, as they came upon us, I remembered the guide's machete and was able to get it in hand by the tiger got to use. And amputated the tip of the tiger's tail as he ran by, freeing the lady from her Darwin award attempt.
