I’d be glad to send/post one once I record it.
I’ll need to acquire two more cubs and raise them of course.

Unfortunately, this is not easily reproduceable.
On my last outing with two tiger followers, it wasn’t my bow that killed one of them, but my club that killed BOTH of them behind me as I killed an alpha wolf in front of me.
As a side note, often times when I’m harvesting the flesh of a fallen animal, my follower also happens to take damage and it’s not near me either.
But you can check those hitboxes for yourselves easily.
You have to tools to see them.
I, on the other hand do not.

Just a couple quick question. What follow distance do you have your pets / followers set to and do you have them on attack nothing, defend or whatnot? Just curios as that may help out to narrow down things.

The first time both following distances were set to 10m.
In both cases, they are set to attack all enemies with attack/chase distances set to max.
While one tiger (mistype) was off after one enemy the other remained near.
This one of the two was behind me just off to my right (over the shoulder) at what appeared to be less than 5 meters. I took a shot at a gray wolf in the distance roughly 30 meters away. The instant I let the arrow fly, the one tiger behind me was immediately killed. The sound and notification is what caught my attention and with that, I turned to look and confirmed it had indeed been killed.

Second time both were set to 5m follow distance.
This time, both were returning to me from behind after taking down one of the elks. About the same time a white wolf began its attack on me.
As I struck and killed the white wolf, I heard that sound again (same as the first time along with the notification “Your follower was killed while following you”).
I immediately turned around and found both tigers dead and piled up over each other in roughly the same position as was the first tiger that was killed.
Again, roughly less than 5 meters from me.

As though nearly behind me roughly 3 meters away.

The thing is, I wasn’t facing my followers nor where they in front of me within sight when this happened. The last two were clearly out of my reach with a club.
The first one, was nowhere near my line of sight.
