Sumatran tiger kills farmer in Riau

A rare Sumatran tiger has killed a palm oil worker in western Indonesia - the second deadly attack in as many months.

The World Wildlife Fund said Thursday that the tiger was found eating the remains of the 35-year-old worker earlier this week in Bengkalis, a district in Riau province. Villagers had gone looking for the man after he failed to return home from his plantation.

Indonesia is home to some 400 Sumatran tigers.

As their habitat diminishes, many of the endangered animals roam into villages or plantations in search of food, setting off conflicts with humans.

A teenager was killed by a tiger in August in the nearby district of Rokan Hilir.
