Also, Jim Corbett is remembered for tracking, hunting & killing man-eaters in British India but he also did HUGE amounts of conservation work. He basically grew up and lived alongside the Indian wildlife, he was a bit of a British mowgli in a way, and the reason he was able to hunt down these vicious man-eaters was because he knew, understood and respected these animals so much. He was personally responsible for spreading the word in a time which, as Forrest puts it, was 'different' that we need to protect nature and these animals.
His books are a must read
He knew the habits, characteristics, tactics, etc of the animals, he was the best prepared person to hunt them, it was both for the human's and species' sake
@@dangerousbeans8067 yeah, they’re amazing. I read one of them whilst I was visiting Corbett National Park in India (not going to lie, when I first went there I genuinely thought it was named after Ronnie, lol …I was pretty young & dumb though). Sounds a bit corny, I know, but it was pretty cool being in the place where many of his personal stories took place. I think it is a fitting testament to the guy that, YEARS after the end of the British Raj, he is still honoured and revered in parts of India.
The 45 year old night cougar.
All cougars are nocturnal… Even the women.
One got me right on the neck last night
You win
Lol
Scary in a good way?
I will go for the polar bear, because it could eat you while you alive, I would think crocs grap and would drown you first, and the big cats would go for the neck for a quick kill. I would guess the polar bears really mauls you to death and you proberly see it coming from a mile away, knowing there is no where to go, thats way more scary, then a quick kill from a cat or croc. Those killers would be quicker in killing you.
Awesome popcast guys, love it!!!, keep on going,
greetings from the Netherlands
Nice i am not the only person who is listening/watching from the Netherlands 😂
@@Barinasuchus_nanuq Misschien kunnen ze volgende keer iets vertellen over de Hollandse wolf😁
Ja prc die is ook heel gevaarlijk voor de moeflons 😂 wat echt onzin is trouwen maar ja zeikland hè
Nope crocodiles don’t drown humans they start eating you as soon as they got you. The thing with nile crocs they know hope weak and powerless humans are in water so they don’t have to worry about us putting up a fight like buffalos or zebras. They literally will start death rolling you the moment they get a hold of you. Crocs have no fear of humans and hear is the thing not all polar bears will hunt humans only if the bear is hungry will it hunt you but crocs even when they are full will still go after you. In short every croc is a man eater while polar bears there needs to be a hunger requirement met before they hunt you.
a crocodile will tear your leg or arm off before you drawn...
You guys are awesome #1 pod cast and #1 fan right here. Cheers mates!!!!
Just wanted to say that the tiger only hunted humans because she could no longer hunt her normal prey because of being injured. This made a big difference.
That's what makes tigers so scary, this tiger only killed 400 something people because it was injured. Imagine a completely healthy tiger decided it hated people. Would probably wipe out a few villages before someone had to call in an army.
Did you ask her did ya?
The Tiger had half her top fang broken off. And it was 436 people. Check out the crazy Siberian Tiger stories in Russia.
I would love to see a movie about Jim Corbett come out but sadly I think it wouldn't be appreciated and likely bomb in theatre
there is a movie
Jim Corbett is a legend. There is a RUclips channel that does stories about man eaters, Jim comes up in nearly every video as the one who was able to kill the cat. He would sit alone in trees, or huts with the door open essentially using himself as bait. Many stories involved him in a standoff with the cat and making decisions that save his life just by gut instinct and previous experiences. Killing a cat is not sad when we are talking about a maneater, normally the cat is injured and would otherwise starve if not for eating humans. These are real people who may lose a child or spouse and don't have the means to protect themselves. I am 100% a conservationist at heart but I am also 100% on team people when it comes to literally life and death.
What is the channel man?
@@blakeandrews3673 selva lore
Also, don’t forget the one rabid hyena who single-handedly killed 9 people and mutilated 15 more until she finally was shot by several rangers. The citizens of the surrounding area were so horrified by what they had seen that they abandoned the country altogether because they were afraid that the attacker was a demonic spirit.
That would be a horrifying death.
Any one of these would be a horrific death..
Tigers are the scariest IMO because they hold grudges. Idk if any croc has ever been said to have over 300 victims like some tigers. Ok NeverMind I guess Gustav has, but that report is considered to be over exaggerated because any missing person was credited to Gustav.
I think it's even more impressive because they have a Tiny idiot lizard brain verse a tigers much higher cognitive ability
WWI wolves would attack wounded on both sides it got so bad because of the war no wild game all the wolves formed a super pack and even hunted the scouts snipers and hunters sent to put an end to the reports of wolf attacks. Eventually both sides had to form an alliance to put the homicidal pack down.
I've been a hunter all my life, I've also been a conservationist all my life. Over the years I have donated thousands of dollars to conservation efforts and I've met some hunters that have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to efforts. Hunter were and are the first conservationist.
The fact he was able to track those animals in another country and the people that lived there their whole lives couldn't.
He was born and raised in nainital in India. He lived and hunted there. He was fluent in the native languages and knew the hills of kumaon like the back of his hand.
@@tariqmohamed can you show me where you got more information on Jim Corbett?
Yeah but so did all the natives and they couldnt and he could for some reason it's always a great white hunter who saves the day but "something something western man is a plague something something"
@@MastemaJack there’s plenty of material on Jim Corbett, try his book, the man eaters of Kumaon
Wasn't there a truce during ww2 so that they could take out a wolf pack that was hunting humans in Paris?
I am also curious
lol u got it a lil wrong there was a truce during ww1 on the eastern front in russia between the russians and germans to kill the wolves who were preying on them andthen there was the case of the wolves of paris who in the winter of 1450 enterd the city and preyed on the people the whole city was in terror until they killed the wolf pack
Easy one guys. The Komodo Dragon. It's lives on an island, so there is literally no escaping one. And they WILL hunt humans.
I think the fact it's on an island is why it's not even listed. How to avoid komodo dragons: don't go to komodo.
@@tarancehill651 Yea but you can say the same about polar bears and it’s probably the most popular answer lol
The thought of being bit then waited on until you’re paralyzed THEN being eaten alive? Horrifying
Boats exist
Maybe I'm just ignorant, but wasn't there a wolf pack in the 1450s that hunted people in the streets of Pais France? I thought there were numerous stories of European wolves that targeted women and children specifically during harsh winters.
I think you are thinking of this maybe? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beast_of_G%C3%A9vaudan
There was a cult classic movie in the 90s made about the Beast called " Brotherhood of the wolf " ,Theory is that it was a Hyena .
@@rosariocannistraro3561 In the film, it is not a hyena, but a trained lion.
Good pod cast as per usual guys 👦
I’m going to vote for bears. Even if I had a weapon, I’d still fear a huge Kodiak grizzly or polar bear.
Jim Corbett has also a national park named after him in India
Polar bears for sure. Croc attack you’ll likely drown pretty quickly and big cats go for the neck or sever the spinal cord to kill you. Bears just pin you down and start eating. If you’ve ever seen video of a polar bear eating a seal, the seal is usually still alive while the bear tears into it. Bone chilling….
There’s always 1 guy in the call like this dude.
“Pick a number between 1 and 5”
“17!”
"it's not Frankenstein, it's Frankenstein. Are you Igor?"
"No it's Igor. Are you from Burundi?"
"It's not Burundi, it's Burundi"
A big pro for hunting down man eating animal in my view would be that, if they are left to live those animals will teach and train their offsprings to hunt and eat specifically humans. This case is more related to mammals.
Peter looks like Forrest Gump 3 months into his run right now
Putting anything in a museum in Chicago is just a riot away from being lost forever.
Crock lays in wait, opportunist. What animal will actually hunt you ignoring other prey? Have heard stories of a tiger and a brown bear and a cobra will stalk and single you out from other humans.
Polar bears
Tigers. You Will never see one in the wild until it's too late
saltwater crocodiles have been known to hunt one particular person for weeks or months until they get them.
but luckily australians aren't as reliant on going to the water daily and saltwater crocodiles aren't as social as nile crocodiles.
either way if you go in the water with a crocodile your chances are slim to f all
Large Crocs man they SCARYYY!!
Gustav was killed? That sucks i remember a documentary where he was mistaken for a sandbank LMAO
Jim Corbett did it for Tigers. man eating tigers. In the Jim Corbett there are both leopards & tigers, but predominantly tigers.
saltwater crocodiles are just as smart as niles, I have no idea where you got that from, the only reasons there are not many stories of salties intelligently hunting people is because Australia isn't a third world country, people dont need to go to the river to clean/get water, I don't see how salties which outclass niles in length, weight, and aggression couldn't be considered "tougher", just because there is no possibility for a gustave situation to happen with salties due to how developed Australia is doesn't mean salties are worse at hunting and killing people, ask any person who owns adults of both species which one is more aggressive/ ferocious and which one they would avoid going into the enclosure of, they will always say the salties, both salties and niles have hunted people for thousands of years, both have been shown to be able to learn and understand the drinking patterns of animals to figure out the best time for an ambush, both have snatched people from boats, in terms of hunting abilities when it comes to humans any distinction between them is completely pointless and location biased, there will be nearly no difference between a saltie that wants you dead and a nile that wants you dead, if you go near the water regularly both will learn your patterns and kill you, no exceptions one is not more scary to be hunted by than the other
You know that salties exist outside Australia right. Philippines, Papau New Guinea and most Islands in the east and South and east pacific have salties. And the countries I just named are third world and the people need top go to rivers to do tasks and even then salties aren’t as brazen when attacking humans like Nile’s do. Nile crocodiles attack humans way more then salties ever. You can check the Philippine attack number stats and compare it to a single river in Mpumalanga South Africa with nile Crocs and the difference is huge and that’s just one river keep in mind.
@@thabangmalaza2621 Australian saltwater crocodiles are completely different beasts to those in the Philippines, thats why I focused on them, Australian saltwater crocodiles are more used to hunting larger prey and back when the megafauna used to exist would be taking down very large prey and even today they target water buffalo, but usually favour kangaroos and feral pigs, the crocs in the Philippines havent historically hunted large prey and are more adapted to focus on fish and crabs, so yes philipine saltwater crocodiles may be less brazen than nile crocodiles, the outline of a kangaroo and a human is very similar, this is why Australian saltwater crocodiles are more open to human predation than those living else where
David Attenborough once said; when filming a polarbear hunting seal on the ice, they had a hard time predicting were it came up after swimming under the ice. It came up on unexpected places. They soon realiesed that the bear wasnt hunting the seal... it was hunting them.
Polarbears are the only mammal where every individual see you as food.
The locals were going to rip the dead tiger to pieces until Jim calmed them into respecting it.
I would argue that a polar bear would be the scariest because of the length of time you would be alive and aware of your death as you watch the animal come at you and eat you alive. The other animals such as cats and crocodiles you will never see coming and they will also kill you quickly.
6:57 !!!
Hey, I had a praying mantis come at me. I didn't sleep for days😮.
What about the wolves that hunted people I heard that story It happened in Finland
Not to mention the infamous Beast of Gevaudan along with the wolves of Paris.
The 1,000,000th milestone 🎉 is otw for this podcast 🐒🦏🦒
Lep or polar bear.
Leperard because it crushes your skull and aims for it, and polar bear because they can smell you through ice and miles away... plus they are a bear.
The maneaters of Njombe. A pride of 15 lions that killed close to 1500 people.
It’s clearly a polar bear… it is superior to humans both on land and water, while a crocodile isn’t the best on land.
Will also def eat you slowly
Crocodiles will still run you down on land
@@Deerhunter60641 that’s not true- They are incredibly bad at changing directions while running- if you run zigzag or take it to higher elevation then it’s not hard. It’s the reason why so little deaths have occurred on land.
@@Deerhunter60641 that’s not true. They can only reach a top speed for a very short time and once they exert a lot of energy they need immediate rest.
Lmao most deaths occur on land people are standing on land by the water when snatched they always try to flee or jump back some make it step or two ....over short distance they like most everything else are much faster than human beings try zig zapping when a crocodile explodes from the water next to you lmao your like the guy who says oh just zig zag when people are hosing you down with gunfire or oh just grab it and take jt away when someone comes at you with a knife or the complete morons who think they stand any chance against any number of predators it's delusional
The crocodile shown on the wall was killed by Steve Curle in Zimbabwe.
Fun fact during WW1 1915 there was a cease fire between the Germans and Russians to hunt wolves, that were hunting the troops.
The mosquito, is a perfect hunter for us humans
Mosquitos are most dangerous but people in general prefer to differentiate animals from "insects"
Champawat is in Uttarakhand, Nepal
I love animals but if one gets a taste for human it’s gotta go, like after 2 people it’s gotta go.
Crocs are vicious. They just sit and wait.
I say polar bear easily based off my knowledge. Like a polar bear you can't stop that like a polar bear soaked in blood. But yes the reasoninv for the others are excellent
Scariest man hunting animal is the Deer Tick.
Lone star tick! Imagine no red meat ever again
Im sure if Forrest grew up in The Sundarbans his answer would be Bengal Tiger.
Possibly a silly Q, but how do they know that said animal accumulated that kill count; and not another same species animal
In the case of the Champawat tiger it's a matter of timing.
She didn't stay in just one village, in fact she would even cross the border between Nepal and India after a march was ordered to drive her off during which someone was probably going to see her. So she'd find somewhere new and start up again.
Also, she hunted in broad daylight.
Put those two together and it would be a hell of a coincidence if it wasn't her doing all the killing.
And of course the most obvious.
She died, the killings stopped. If another tiger was involved the killing would become less frequent but still be ongoing.
Plenty of modern day hunters are big in conservation, and hate people who abuse or destroy natural habitat. As a hunter in the USA I can't stand poachers, and people who intionally destroy habitat for wildlife. Now I also don't know if that is not what you were getting at. But discredit hunters for being blood thirsty is all.
All caps will at least grab you by the neck and kill you before they eat you. A crocodile will drown you. A bear will just hold you down and take chunks out while you suffer
I think that croc photo is using forced perspective to make it seem larger. The people are standing way back from the croc.
Is there proof Gustave is actually dead? I heard he was killed but thought a picture would surface
I have been to the area with leopards and tigers. I have encountered leopard a few times as well. As they are in the area i live. But they don't scare me as much as tigers. I feel like i have some chances. Miniscule but still some chances of fighting it off. Or atleast last a little maybe till i get some help. But a tiger, it's instant kill. Even if you are in a group, it could just kill you quickly and run off with your body.
No, a leopard would fuck your skinny ass up!
Read the three books by Peter Hathaway capstick, death in the long grass, death in silent places and death on the dark continent. Won't be able to put them down I promise you.
Forrest is right, Saltwater crocodile are nothing to scoff at but Nile crocodiles are way more dangerous
For me it will always be a tiger 🐅
Guys, is Gustave still alive?
The champawat devil
‘It’s so easy. What do you think?’
‘Simple dude, wolves.’
‘They don’t even hunt humans.’
This is a guy that said leopards are bigger than jaguars
hippos?
Wolves definitely do hunt people sometimes.
And think how many tigers and crocs people kill compared to them killing us
4:25, that photo is forced perspective, that is not Gustave as he has his death or capture has never officially been confirmed, any and all attempts to do so have ended in failure
Human’s not on the list? I think that’s the most terrifying. It’s the only that’ll do it just for fun
Gotta go with anything u don't see until it's on your back tearing you apart. So def leopard for me. Just walking through the jungle minding your own business, admiring the floura and fau... (A sharp stabbing raking pain down your shoulder and into your lower back... And that's just the beginning)
U have better chances with a leopard than… Gustav
Easily polar bears lol
I'd say jaguars.
We might not see Jim Corbett as a hero but I promise you all the locals did.
The human.
I was going to say hippos
Jim guy was way in the past that's insane. Well he is killing some man eating animals who are actively hunting humans on these small villages
He made a change he learned that's good though. Did what he went into conservation
Leopard killed over 250 that they know of.
Tigers by far. No debate necessary.
Does anyone know if Gustav was actually killed by humans?
Hasn't been seen for awhile so it's assumed something finally got him.
That said, that's a big croc to just randomly not be seen . . .
For all the reasons you listed, I would actually argue a man eating tiger is the scariest animal. Need water? You have to go in the tiger's territory. Need food? Same. Need to use the bathroom? Same. There are also plenty of instances where tigers have pulled people from their homes by digging through the walls. A crocodile at least you can sleep at night without being eaten unless you are sleeping right up to the water.
my first thought is a hippo, they kill over 500 humans a year on average in africa
I’m sorry. But WOLVES do hunt people. Maybe is not a common behaviour but I’ve heard enough hunting stories and growing up in Muskoka Canada to know otherwise.
You said it hunting stories
@@guiguillaume9624 coming from actual people I know personally. They aren’t the type to fib
I completely disagree. You’re going off word of mouth. The few rare cases of wolves killing people were found to be rabid. They simply had no need to hunt people.
And saying “I knew these people personally” is like me saying BigFoot DOES exist. My friends told me.
@@valthefirst5109 Bigfoot is completely different yah 🤡. I know these people personally because they are cousins, grandfather and school friends. I grew up in the wood budd. I have my own stories too. Literally coming at this with zero experience or knowledge on the matter 😂 your argument was Bigfoot 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Literally every animal that can eat humans has technically hunted humans before. That doesn't mean it's a common behavior and it doesn't mean it's normal. Besides that anecdotal hunting stories are quite literally the absolute worst "evidence" of anything. You saying you "grew up in the woods" means nothing. I did too and my experience is completely opposite to yours. Wolves actively avoided people. This is why anecdotes are garbage, all it takes to completely destroy your proof is my own anecdote.
Who was the German guy who wrote that rare book "tigre!" About his time spent hunting man eating leopards and other cats sometimes with spears insane stuff
They really not going to talk about the Beast of Gevaudan?
We still don't even know what it was.
@@squatchfromearth4076 you’re right. We got a bunch of theories, the most popular one being a hyena or lion, but even those have issues with them.
I just think it’s worth noting, but it’s understandable via enigmality.
@@Pastamist I'm leaning towards a guy that trained a really big dog like a Mastiff or something
Jaguar...anything that can swim & pull out an anaconda & eat it has my attention.
Why did they say that wolves aren't man-hunters? Didn't they besiege entire towns in the midieval times?
And during/ after WWII. Germans and Russians literally stopped fighting to kill the wolves that were eating the soldiers.
Why on the list of animals did they miss the number 1 animal to hunt humans is... humans
Tiger all day
The fact he grew up around them makes it biased when he says nile croc's i am sure if he grew up around salt water croc's in Australia he wouldn't be saying nile croc's. if he wants to have a unbiased opinion he needs to study and actually interact with saltie's in the northern territories to see which one he thinks is more brazen and daring to actively hunt humans most of the time nile's snatch people from the side of rivers which is there natural instinct same for saltie's but saltie's have been known to jump in boats, capsize, disable, pull people from them, move billabongs or watering holes to hunt humans in the nile's case its mainly due to the fact that people have no choice but to coexist there so attacks are more frequent and wide spread across the whole nile i am sure if salties had a active population of humans on the river banks in the thousands which in places like Indonesia and Philippines they have a population on the banks but not much but if there was more they would be killing a lot also you cant base your whole argument oh i lived with them my whole life and there far worse but that's because of circumstance if you look at saltie's they are by far smarter and more calculated in how they achieve results in killing humans
Apparently Nile crocodiles are more aggressive but salties are just as dangerous due to their larger size
Nope forest ain’t wrong Nile crocs kill way more humans then salties do. And they are way more aggressive then salt water crocodiles and this is due to them having to be in river systems with another aggressive and territorial species the hippo which kills crocs sometimes for shits and giggles not because the croc is a threat nope just because the hippo decided violence. Oh yeah by the way Nile crocs don’t exist in. The Nile river in. Africa they exist in. The Congo basin where attacks are even more prevalent they exist in almost every country in Africa that has a large body of water. Nile crocs also choose to go to very dense populated areas of rivers or lakes just to specifically hunt humans.
@@thabangmalaza2621 your deficient you've literally said why i said he cannot base it off a circumstance of people were where they are in countries where saltie's exist he could use the same argument for them it doesn't make them more aggressive please don't respond any longer Jesus i feel like ive lost braincells from your statement
@@BigDavoNorriwong nile crocs are less aggressive, any person who has interacted with both species will tell you this, in the zoo world salties are known to be the most aggressive of all crocodiles
Without a doubt, crocodiles. All the big cats will kill you before they start to feed on your body.
Polar bear ? Lol
Feral dogs, because they're wild apex predators yet lack a fear of humans.
Mosquitos hunt humans i think i win
Some leopards killed hundreds of people in India. They would go into huts in the middle of the day.
They all will end you. My choice would be down to quickest, most painless death. Tiger would be better than bear, .... don't know about the others.
3rd
I don't think that there's an intelligence difference between a Nile croc or a Salty how can this guy just say things like that? All the characteristics that he describe about Nile crocodiles are well know as well within Salt water crocodiles the difference is that salt water crocodiles hunt from Northern Australia all the way up to India.
Big cats kill there pray bears will eat you alive crocodile will drowned you and that will suck! Croc or bear by far the worst
No way the most famous man eater of all time would have been a lion. Even if lions are very sneaky they still operate in packs, so you can spot them a lot easier than a tiger or leopard which are always alone. I knew it had to be a tiger
It makes me angry when you act like an act of killing an animal by its Nature has to be defended to be recognized as not being something that was just inherently wrong to do....
I don't want you out there reassuring people that supposedly love animals but are too stupid to know it's good to kill them sometimes..... but yes it was good to do that this time or that time or whatever time you're talkin about. They need to be treated like their stupid for not being aware of that already. Unless they are like you know grade-schoolers.
Even then. Not every level of grade school is tolerable, some of them still have to be treated like they are stupid if they think that.
Look if you have animals and they are purposely taking human life than take the animals life i love sharks but if they was a rogue shark that was killing 400 people kill that shark human life is more important its the way of life tbh things die things get killed it happens
Sharks don't come into human habitats. Many sharks are endangered - their lives are more important than humans
Yes, Corbett was brought up in, lived in, and was naturally "part" of the jungle/forest, he knew
EVERY forest creature and their habits intimately thru years of experience, a long time bush-hunter
gets to be "as one" with the jungle and all it's hidden secretive wildlife, it's a solitude with every
sense and instinct heightened to a whole different level.. Jungle existence becomes a sixth-sense thing
impossible to explain to a life-long town/city dweller... In his day these isolated jungle districts had
no firearms let alone ammunition to put in them.. Corbett had hunting rifles and
had ammunition.. He was a walking god-send to the desperate people of the terrified villages..
The book "Maneaters of Kumaon" is a compulsary read here..
