More unrest in Nepal............ Monday, June 11, 2001 Tiger Shot Dead After Killing 5 People KATHMANDU (Reuters) - A Royal Bengal tiger was shot dead at a national park in southern Nepal after killing five people in a week, a wildlife official said Monday. The tiger was shot dead last Thursday after the attacks that occurred between May 31 and June 6 in villages neighboring the Royal Chitaun National Park, park official Bed Kumar Dhakal said. The park lies 150 km (90 miles) south of the Himalayan kingdom's capital. "The tiger seemed to have recently turned into a man-eater," Dhakal told Reuters. There are between 5,000 and 6,000 Royal Bengal tigers in the world, wildlife authorities estimate. The tiger's coat ranges in color from brownish yellow to orange-red and is marked by black stripes. India is believed to have the largest number of Royal Bengal tigers with about 3,000, Bangladesh has between 300 and 400 while Nepal has between 150 and 200, wildlife authorities say.
