By studying a series of
documented tiger attacks and
recreating the choreography of
the recent Bengal tiger attack
on magician Roy Horn, a team
of experts -- including
trainers, tiger behavioral
scientists and even special
effects gurus -- set out to
demonstrate step-by-step what
happens when one of the
world's most powerful
predators develops a taste for
human flesh.

In the team's \'bite lab\' in
New Zealand, biologist Dave
Salmone -- himself a survivor
of a tiger mauling --
demonstrates the sheer power
of a Bengal tiger's jaws and
the piercing ability of their
four-inch claws. Across the
globe in California, trainer
Randy Miller -- another
survivor -- works with a live
tiger to recreate Roy Horn's
accident, demonstrating the
visual cues that indicate a
forthcoming attack. Watch as
the team uses its expertise to
break down a typical attack
and reveal the science behind
one of nature's most horrific
moments.
