    Mother fights tiger with bare hands to save her baby

    An unarmed mother fought off a tiger that tried to snatch her baby in a village in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. She suffered serious injuries while protecting her 15-month-old child.

    Archana Chaudhary, 25, used her bare hands to fight off the tiger when it attacked her infant son Raviraj. She shouted for help but the tiger buried its claws into her chest, puncturing a lung.

    The fight lasted only a few minutes before villagers came to her aid. The tiger eventually returned to the forest.

    The mother and infant were transported to the hospital with serious injuries. The infant received severe head wounds, while the mother was treated for deep abdominal wounds and a punctured lung.

    Authorities are currently searching for the tiger so that it does not harm anyone else.

    India is home to critically endangered tigers. Fast-growing human expansion has led to fatal encounters between humans and the big cat. A total of 108 people lost their lives between 2019 and 2021 to tiger attacks, most of them in Maharashtra.

    As per reports, Jivuben Valabhai does not have any ID to prove her age, but she said that she has seen 65-70 summers till now. The couple had been married for 45-years but could not have children.

    They approached Dr Naresh Bhanushali, who runs the Harsh IVF Centre in the area, after finding out about the procedure through relatives.

    “The couple came to me a year ago. Initially, we were reluctant to do this because of the woman’s age. But they were anxious to have a child, so we decided to go ahead,” Bhanushali told Anadolu Agency.

    “Her blood pressure was high and we had to deliver the child via C-section in the eighth month of the gestation period,” Dr Bhanushali added.

    “We had a team of doctors including a cardiologist, a physician on standby — anything could have gone wrong because of her age but she was fine and gave birth to a healthy baby.”

    The woman might get an entry into the Guinness book of world records for being the oldest woman to give birth to a healthy baby.
