An infant and an adult man died Wednesday afternoon after being attacked by at least seven dogs inside a home on East Warren Street in Tullahoma, according to the Coffee County Sheriff's Office.

The infant was mauled first, and the man was killed while trying to save the child, investigators said.

A neighbor who asked not to be identified said he arrived home around 2:30 p.m. and saw a woman screaming in the middle of the road.

"I couldn't understand what she was saying," he said. "I tried to help. I came up on her and asked her what was going on. She wouldn't answer me. She ran off. Then I heard one siren, and then I heard more, and knew the cavalry was coming, basically."

Officers, paramedics and animal control responded to the scene. One dog charged at officers and was shot, while the remaining animals were seized by animal control.

The terror of wolves has once again increased in Bahraich, UP. On Friday evening, wolves killed a 5-year-old innocent child playing outside his house. The child was playing outside his home when two wolves attacked.

They grabbed him in their jaws and dragged him away. Neighbors witnessed with their own eyes the wolves carrying away the child. Hearing the commotion, two dozen villagers chased after the wolves with sticks.

After about half an hour of searching, the child was found in a bloodied condition in a sugarcane field 500 meters away from home. The wolves had eaten both his palms. The left foot's sole was also badly mauled.

He was immediately admitted to CHC, from where he was referred to the district hospital. Late at night, he was referred to Lucknow. He died on the way.

A shocking and heartbreaking incident in Gir-Gadhada taluka's Pichhvi village has left the entire region shaken. A lioness that strayed into a residential area dragged away a two-year-old girl from outside her house and killed her nearly a kilometre away, all in front of her helpless mother.

The incident occurred around 10.30 am on Wednesday. Aaradhya, the daughter of Harsukhbhai Makwana, was playing near the house while her mother Bhartiben, was washing utensils. Suddenly, a lioness emerged from the nearby forest, grabbed the child, and bolted towards the jungle.

Hearing the child's cries, her mother and relatives ran after the lioness, screaming for help, but were unable to save her. Nearly a kilometre away, the lioness abandoned the girl's body and fled.

Forest officials rushed to the spot immediately, launched a rapid operation, and successfully trapped the lioness within hours. Aaradhya's body has been sent for post-mortem, and the department has initiated compensation procedures for the family.

A woman has died and a man is seriously injured following a shark attack at a remote beach in Australia.

The pair, aged in their mid-twenties, were taking an early morning swim at a beach in New South Wales, on Australia's east coast, at about 6.30am on Thursday local time (7.30pm Wednesday GMT) when they were attacked by a suspected bull shark.

Emergency services were called to Crowdy Bay near Kylies Beach, approximately 360 kilometres north of Sydney, shortly after.

"They were known to each other, and they were going for a swim and the shark attacked," New South Wales Police inspector Timothy Bayly said.

A quick-thinking bystander applied a makeshift tourniquet to the injured man's leg, potentially saving his life, before paramedics arrived.

It's bearly believable.

Japan is in the midst of a wave of deadly bear attacks, with seven people killed and 88 others mauled in the deadliest month for such incidents in the nation's history, according to reports.

The Land of the Rising Sun's Environment Ministry reported the record-high October figures that capped off a six month period, beginning in April, that saw a total of 12 people killed and 196 mauled by bears, NHK reported.

The incidents have occurred in 21 of the country's 47 prefectures and have spread from mostly rural areas to now plaguing urban centers.

One shocking video taken by a security camera in Daisen, a city of 76,000 people, showed an 82-year-old woman attacked from behind while casually crossing the street on a morning walk on Oct. 11, according to NTV News.
