I urge you all to read The “Man-eaters of Kumaon”- a true account written by Jim Corbett himself. The sheer terror these man-eating Tigers/leopards cast on entire cities was captured aptly by him. The entire book is a first class read 👌🏻 Jim Corbett unravels the mind/thought process of these killing machines excellently 👌🏻
Plenty books by Jim Corbett and Kenneth Anderson. Uttarakhand/India has had wayyy too many man eaters with 100s of kills. Leopard of rudraprayag is interesting too. Audio book available on RUclips.
I grew up in Alaska and I can assure you that wolves (at least grey wolf) can get pretty big. I had 2 pet wolves and pepe weighed 140lbs got tangled with a moose one morning ripped off the moose’s ear and part of its face, took a full on stomp from it and lived to tell the tale. Not many humans if any can say they lived from a good moose stomping.
The ghost and the darkness actually has a lot of extra stuff behind it. Tsavo means place of slaughter, the name most likely came from tribal conflicts in the area. On top of this prior to the arrival of the british there were slave trade routes that went through or near that area. Which provides the impression that the lions may have had a fair amount of time prior to the railway to develop their taste for human flesh and their actual kill count could be much higher. Also catching them was a nightmare too, with one trap failing and one of lions roaring so loud he burst the ear drumsof one the hunters that was on the other side of the trap trying to shoot the lion. The movie named after the lions actually had to use a different breed of lion because tsavo lions are bigger and more aggressive not to mention the movie still fails to fully depict how dangerous they were. Its a good movie though.
Yeah mosquitos rule, we just can’t count a whole species of disease-carriers as intentional killers.. but a single 400kg 9 foot tall mosquito? Now we’re talkin

I grew up near Chicago and have seen the Tsavo lions multiple times. They were originally turned into rugs and then taxidermied much later to appear as they are today. Because of this the lions are now smaller than they were originally. They are still very impressive though.
Tsavo lions left a legacy in Uganda to the point that if a lion attacks a human once, we have to hunt it down and put it out of action before it develops a human addiction
You might want to add Corbett's other kill, the Panar leopard, also from India which said to have allegedly killed 400+ people too. He hunted that leopard very close to the period when he hunted the Champawat tiger.
There's a couple of movies made based on some of these creatures. Firstly the French Wolf has a film called Brotherhood of the Wolf, contains people talking about what it actually might have been and how it came about. The 2 Lions in Africa have the film The Ghost and the Darkness, another good film if you haven't seen it.

Been watching you since the start of your channel and this video's script sure highlights how you've comfortably and confidently added just the right amount of humour to your writing. I just can't help but notice quality comedy writing, good work!
The thing about the sloth bear of mysore is that the sloth bears aren't that good/efficient at killing. So most of the victims had to suffer for very long amount of complete agony before getting the sweet release of death. Many even survived the attack at first but with such gruesome injuries that they died a very painful death after a few days. Thats why sloth bear attacks are said to be very brutal.
You missed the FACT that The Human Being has the best cooling system out of mammals on earth. Allowing us to run for the longest period. Not the fasted sprinters, but the best long distance runners!
I’d say the opposable thumb is perhaps the greatest and most important fancy adaptation especially when paired with the brain power to craft and use tools.
Yea I did some research and according to Wikipedia those two didn't really kill 135 people, it says: "a review about causes for man-eating behavior among lions revealed that the proposed human toll of 100 or more was most likely an exaggeration and that the more likely death toll was 28-31 victims. Also regarding that case, I find it funny how the video started with saying that us humans are weaker compared to other species, but if u fck around with us we'll have ur skin and skull displayed on some fuckn random ass museum for eternity.

No, actually Thoughty2 is correct here (in context of the incident taking place in 1957). The state today called Karnataka was called 'Mysore State' till 1973 when it was renamed to it's current name. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysore_State
Mate! You are awesome!!!! I hope you will never give up on bringing more than excellent content to your many fans because of you we would never be aware of some of histories most important lost moments. Thanks for sharing ❤
Technically, we have. Just not like others. Rather than extreme specialization we’ve become some of the best generalist species. Not only can we eat just about any food, and are resistant to toxins that would be very harmful or even deadly to other animals. But also we had no need to waste energy on developing extreme adaptations when we had tools and other things to do those things for us. Few species are as widespread as us because many species are more specifically adapted to certain environments while humans can live just about anywhere even in the harshest environments.
Actually the remains (skulls) of the Savo Lions are in a little museum owned by some eccentric nutter in the US.... on examination it was found that the lions suffered from some kind of deformity or condition that caused them to lose large amounts of teeth which made it difficult to hunt their normal prey and it just so happened that the workforce at hand offered them a viable alternative....
The croc was probably called gustav after the gustav gun. My memory isn't perfect, but the gustav gun was a railway gun that was enormous. I believe it was the largest ever used in combat. Used in one of the world wars - I think the 2nd. It took thousands of people to move into position, and hundreds of people to fire/reload.
Humans are phenomenal endurance athletes, and we have a tremendous ability to throw projectiles. No other animals can throw like us, and no animal can outrunnus. We've always been apex predators.
we werent always apex predators you have to remember we were in africa possibly the most competitive predatory scene of nature, when we evolved tools and fire and we sufficiently utilized those things we started gaining our superiority over the animals, but Homo Erectus(1m+ years ago, i know erectus stayed later but that was about the turning point) or before them werent apex predators they just were not simple as that, we sweat and thats about all we have, later on when we developed tools being quick-handed and being able to throw projectiles well became the big thing. humans arent peak mammalian omnivores or predators, but we became that through out insane intelligence. so saying weve always been apex predators is flat out wrong, its just not correct.
@@spoperty4940 we've been apex predators for the gross majority of our existence. You're right, we weren't apex predators 5 seconds after we clicked the "evolve" button and turned into homo sapiens. But we've been basically a mass extinction event since we came into existence. Homo erectus were not humans. Homo sapiens figured out sharp rocks and spears very VERY quickly, in fact we probably discovered them before we actually evolved into homo sapiens. Even chimpanzees figured out clubs. And you can belittle our endurance by saying we sweat, but that's an oversimplified explanation of our world leading endurance. There's no animal on the planet that can beat humans in a three hundred mile foot race. Not even close. And no, it's not just because we "sweat". Turns out our ability to not eat for weeks on end while Also being up And active (ie, not hibernating) plays a role too. Even without our intellect, we'd still be close to an apex predator. Our intellect allows us to adapt, it's what allowed us to conquer the rest of the world by allowing us to adapt and survive in every climate. But even with significantly lower iqs, we'd still be able to hunt like pack animals, throw incredibly accurate and fast rocks to wound animals, figure out rudimentary tools (eg. sharp sticks), and run down any animal we need. Humans can hold a tool, and use the tool while running. This ability alone makes us OP. Were also the only animal that can climb trees, run on the ground, AND swim in the water. We aren't the best sprinters, we aren't the strongest, we aren't great swimmers, we aren't great climbers....... But we can do it all to a functional degree.
18:29 - Damn, that is one hell of a hunt. Thank you, Aaron. Interactive video was fun. Be seeing you this year (in your videos, I’m not some stalker). 😬
I wouldn’t call it a “serial killer,” I’d call it “the cycle of life.” Although I feel bad for those who died and their families, that’s just the natural way of things, something which we can’t deny.
This was one of your most interesting videos. I greatly enjoyed it and I did guess that the animal with the most kills must have been either a tiger or a lion, but I couldn’t really decide between the two.
It's absolutely disgusting how we humans have broken the numbers of these beautiful creatures and even brought some of them to extinction. One day we will all get whats coming to us.
Yes, our ancestors ran from bears and tigers, but you don't get it. That person crying in Costa Coffee because they got the wrong milk in their drink has definitely had a harder life
This actually opened my eyes. Im never gonna feel faitgued after studying for weeks on end ever again. Because people have it so much worse in this world. Man I didnt know.
humans are superior to all other animals by far, we are the first to dominate land, air and the seas. no animal every exerted dominance like us, it only makes sense our problems are of that magnitude, also it depends how you define a harder life, hundreds of thousands of years passed we are completely different than we used to be, hunting and being hunted is a different kind of life than going back to a 9-5 buying coffee in the morning. also no one is making the claim that their life is harder than the ancestors getting the wrong type of milk. the ancestors life only look hard to us because we are basically completely different, for animals its just how it goes its not hard and they wont procrastinate, thats what they do. so their life wasnt hard, it was tough but thats just how it was, we defined it was hard but infact we used to not care. so you cant really compare the 2
@@antagonisticalex401it's normal to feel fatigued, and it's very important to take regular breaks. Otherwise, you damage your own chances of learning instead of enhancing them. I recommend looking up the pomodoro technique if you don't know how to manage time for breaks (make sure you adjust the study/break times for yourself).
It's really weird that this video was published today. I just got back from a vacation through this territory, and spent a fair amount of time tying to explain this story to my fellow travelers. This video would have come in handy a few days ago LOL!
If Tigers weren’t scary enough predators, their teeth have a hollow channel which allows them to more easily release prey and make another bite. Without this their teeth would lodge in their prey and they would find it hard to pull their fangs out.
I love my country Kenya featured in one of your amazing videos 🇰🇪🇰🇪 still today if a lion eats a human it's mostly hunted down before it decides to break that record 😂
It’s kind of ironic how us humans have such a large physical disadvantage against almost every predator on earth yet we absolutely dominate the food chain nonetheless.
The human body can also move in more ways than pretty much all other animals in the same size range as humans or bigger. Humans can run, jog, walk, crawl, climb, slither, hop, roll, somersault, flip, dive, swim, leap, skip, swing, pivot, twirl, etc. We may be crap at any one of these compared to other animals that are adapted to doing those movements, but few if any other animals are able to do ALL of those movements that humans can. This jack-of-all trades flexibility of movement synergizes will with the big creative brain, giving it a large array of options to mix and match and combine together in novel ways to allow humans to physically access a wide range of potential environmental barriers.
Wait wasnt it a single tiger that killed 436 people?! Im just starting the video now but the thumbnail seems to be misleading cause no tiger.. Oh you just said to guess in comments 😂😂 well this worked out. But i wish we knew what the beast of gevudan was really cause it seem more likely that they just killed a bunch of random wolves! So many people said it had a cats type tale and stripes. Back then some type of traveling circus/zoo could easily have lost a Tiger/Thylacine/Panther and not said anything.
As a child I took Taw Kwon Do classes taught by a North Korean soldier who left the country. He was not the nicest man and made constant reminders that Tae Kwon Do is a martial art created to mimic the finesse and ferociousness of a Tiger. I remember when he was teaching my sister how to grip, twist and knife hand a man's balls off 😂
Tigers are easy for humans to breed in captivity. Wikipedia suggests that there are nearly 10,000 captive tigers, which is probably more than the wild population.
Not only our intelligence, our stamina and dexterity is also maxed out. We certainly can fight as well, albeit we need a tool. There's nothing we can't kill. There's many stories of people taking down predators, even in 1v1 scenarios. Plenty stories of warriors of the past doing this as well. We might not have the strength, speed, toughness, or agility, but we certainly have everything else.
But did the tigress get that injury before or after she started attacking humans? A LOT of people were hunting her AFTER she started killing people. Tigers hunting humans is not uncommon, even to this day in certain areas.
Humans are the only ones who can outrun their shadow when in present danger. Love your voice, you would make a great narrator for Kindle audiobooks. Great video. Subscribed.
What ive studied there are 2 badasses, the Tiger & Grizzly [BROWN] Bear. Both if harmed these 2 will get persons sense and hunt the human until they kill the person. Talk about extra scary. Atlease Grizzly Brown bears are more remote areas. The Tiger many reports state tigers kill hundreds each year. This is ppl thats known but because of the area so many ppl die and never reported. Another great video. Thank you keep them coming
am from Burundi and honestly 200 people on Gustave its just an underestimated number ,and i believe is still alive but on different cost of Tanganyika due to the military enforcement on Gustave
I am familiar with the story as Corbett wrote about it and I read his account. It was part of a longer book that described many of his hunts including those of man eating tigers. I find it truly interesting that the way you ended the video is one of the constants that Corbett noted. As a result, it became illegal to hunt or shoot tigers UNLESS you were qualified. Too many wounded tigers became man eating tigers. Interesting story about backlash from animals. Corbett was a true sportsman. And he was deadly since he never wounded a single animal. He killed every one that he hunted. Well, according to his account.
I urge you all to read The “Man-eaters of Kumaon”- a true account written by Jim Corbett himself. The sheer terror these man-eating Tigers/leopards cast on entire cities was captured aptly by him. The entire book is a first class read 👌🏻

Tsavo means place of slaughter, the name most likely came from tribal conflicts in the area. On top of this prior to the arrival of the british there were slave trade routes that went through or near that area.

The book is absolutely terrfiying. The movie, not so much.

Mysore used to be a state before independence of India.
No, actually Thoughty2 is correct here (in context of the incident taking place in 1957). The state today called Karnataka was called 'Mysore State' till 1973 when it was renamed to it's current name.

@@swalihmm 'Mysore State' was a state after Independence too. It only got renamed to Karnataka in 1973.

I remember reading mosquitos kill more than almost any other animal due to disease
This is true but is all mosquitoes not just one serial killin skeeter.
Yes. Malaria wiped up countless humans in history
True but there's absolutely no way to know if one single mosquito has ever killed hundreds of people
Mate! You are awesome!!!! I hope you will never give up on bringing more than excellent content to your many fans because of you we would never be aware of some of histories most important lost moments. Thanks for sharing ❤
The tsavo lions are some of the first things you see when you walk in the Field Museum, they are very beautiful and I would recommend seeing them
Your short documentary about the amur tiger was fantastic, this is just as good. Love the wildlife content. Thanks t2.
Who doesn't love a thought even more a British thought
Lol no
Such an underrated channel keep up the good work ❤
I've read the book 'The Man Eaters of Kumaon' by Jim Corbett! Amazing book and definitely takes you on a ride. Definitely recommend it!
Yup love that book
Very well wriiten.
Going with the 🐊
Same
Thought it was the crocodile too and this would be a video about the crocodiles that had Japanese troops for lunch in Burma
Well buddy, you were wrong😂
I am concerned by Thoughty2's channel, his videos doesn't ever go to my suggested or home page unless if I search for his channel itself
bear in mind that I am subscribed with the bells on
And I don't read notifications as it's just spam for me at this point due to the unholy amount of channels I subcribe to
The intro just give you the vibe, how on earth are we the only animals that haven't physically adapted to the environment of this planet
Technically, we have. Just not like others. Rather than extreme specialization we’ve become some of the best generalist species. Not only can we eat just about any food, and are resistant to toxins that would be very harmful or even deadly to other animals. But also we had no need to waste energy on developing extreme adaptations when we had tools and other things to do those things for us. Few species are as widespread as us because many species are more specifically adapted to certain environments while humans can live just about anywhere even in the harshest environments.
Actually the remains (skulls) of the Savo Lions are in a little museum owned by some eccentric nutter in the US.... on examination it was found that the lions suffered from some kind of deformity or condition that caused them to lose large amounts of teeth which made it difficult to hunt their normal prey and it just so happened that the workforce at hand offered them a viable alternative....
Best storyteller EVER, and the jokes are AMAZING! 😂❤🎉
as a wolf lover, "The Beast of Gévaudan" story was brutal to me
Same.
The croc was probably called gustav after the gustav gun. My memory isn't perfect, but the gustav gun was a railway gun that was enormous. I believe it was the largest ever used in combat. Used in one of the world wars - I think the 2nd. It took thousands of people to move into position, and hundreds of people to fire/reload.
We watch your videos faster than you can make new ones. That's how much we enjoy your content. From Africa with joy, thanks Arran !
Truly worthy of a campfire story to send goosebumps up your spine
Humans are phenomenal endurance athletes, and we have a tremendous ability to throw projectiles. No other animals can throw like us, and no animal can outrunnus. We've always been apex predators.
There are plenty of animals that can out run us tho..?
@@PandaPuncher4Hirenot in distance
we werent always apex predators you have to remember we were in africa possibly the most competitive predatory scene of nature, when we evolved tools and fire and we sufficiently utilized those things we started gaining our superiority over the animals, but Homo Erectus(1m+ years ago, i know erectus stayed later but that was about the turning point) or before them werent apex predators they just were not simple as that, we sweat and thats about all we have, later on when we developed tools being quick-handed and being able to throw projectiles well became the big thing. humans arent peak mammalian omnivores or predators, but we became that through out insane intelligence. so saying weve always been apex predators is flat out wrong, its just not correct.
@@spoperty4940 we've been apex predators for the gross majority of our existence. You're right, we weren't apex predators 5 seconds after we clicked the "evolve" button and turned into homo sapiens. But we've been basically a mass extinction event since we came into existence.
Homo erectus were not humans. Homo sapiens figured out sharp rocks and spears very VERY quickly, in fact we probably discovered them before we actually evolved into homo sapiens. Even chimpanzees figured out clubs.
And you can belittle our endurance by saying we sweat, but that's an oversimplified explanation of our world leading endurance.
There's no animal on the planet that can beat humans in a three hundred mile foot race. Not even close. And no, it's not just because we "sweat". Turns out our ability to not eat for weeks on end while Also being up And active (ie, not hibernating) plays a role too.
Even without our intellect, we'd still be close to an apex predator. Our intellect allows us to adapt, it's what allowed us to conquer the rest of the world by allowing us to adapt and survive in every climate. But even with significantly lower iqs, we'd still be able to hunt like pack animals, throw incredibly accurate and fast rocks to wound animals, figure out rudimentary tools (eg. sharp sticks), and run down any animal we need. Humans can hold a tool, and use the tool while running. This ability alone makes us OP.
Were also the only animal that can climb trees, run on the ground, AND swim in the water. We aren't the best sprinters, we aren't the strongest, we aren't great swimmers, we aren't great climbers....... But we can do it all to a functional degree.
Did an Irish person write this totally stupid comment?
18:29 - Damn, that is one hell of a hunt. Thank you, Aaron. Interactive video was fun.
Be seeing you this year (in your videos, I’m not some stalker). 😬
I wouldn’t call it a “serial killer,” I’d call it “the cycle of life.” Although I feel bad for those who died and their families, that’s just the natural way of things, something which we can’t deny.
You are becoming my favourite RUclipsr now love it
This was one of your most interesting videos. I greatly enjoyed it and I did guess that the animal with the most kills must have been either a tiger or a lion, but I couldn’t really decide between the two.
Am Kenyan and this video is making me to learn more😊 thank you for shedding light in this mystery
It's absolutely disgusting how we humans have broken the numbers of these beautiful creatures and even brought some of them to extinction. One day we will all get whats coming to us.
I remember watching “The Ghost and the Darkness” those lions were out for vengeance.
Yes, our ancestors ran from bears and tigers, but you don't get it. That person crying in Costa Coffee because they got the wrong milk in their drink has definitely had a harder life
This actually opened my eyes. Im never gonna feel faitgued after studying for weeks on end ever again. Because people have it so much worse in this world. Man I didnt know.
humans are superior to all other animals by far, we are the first to dominate land, air and the seas. no animal every exerted dominance like us, it only makes sense our problems are of that magnitude, also it depends how you define a harder life, hundreds of thousands of years passed we are completely different than we used to be, hunting and being hunted is a different kind of life than going back to a 9-5 buying coffee in the morning. also no one is making the claim that their life is harder than the ancestors getting the wrong type of milk. the ancestors life only look hard to us because we are basically completely different, for animals its just how it goes its not hard and they wont procrastinate, thats what they do. so their life wasnt hard, it was tough but thats just how it was, we defined it was hard but infact we used to not care. so you cant really compare the 2
@@antagonisticalex401it's normal to feel fatigued, and it's very important to take regular breaks. Otherwise, you damage your own chances of learning instead of enhancing them. I recommend looking up the pomodoro technique if you don't know how to manage time for breaks (make sure you adjust the study/break times for yourself).
How am I supposed to escape from a tiger without my hazelnut almond milk in my coffee? You snob
But our ancestors life was simple, today's life is way too complicated.
This is the lioness telling her cubs, "How did my stud muffin eat 436 people? One bite at a time."
Not only the best, most informative channel of useless information, but hands down the best thumbnails of any channel!
It's really weird that this video was published today. I just got back from a vacation through this territory, and spent a fair amount of time tying to explain this story to my fellow travelers. This video would have come in handy a few days ago LOL!
If Tigers weren’t scary enough predators, their teeth have a hollow channel which allows them to more easily release prey and make another bite. Without this their teeth would lodge in their prey and they would find it hard to pull their fangs out.
Like the groove on a sword or a knife. I didn't know that, thanks!
I just learned something new! Thanks
You can’t call a animal a serial killer if they are just hunting for food
I love my country Kenya featured in one of your amazing videos 🇰🇪🇰🇪 still today if a lion eats a human it's mostly hunted down before it decides to break that record 😂
Same story in uganda.we have to lay it to rest
Thoughty2 always being an interesting story teller
It’s kind of ironic how us humans have such a large physical disadvantage against almost every predator on earth yet we absolutely dominate the food chain nonetheless.
The human body can also move in more ways than pretty much all other animals in the same size range as humans or bigger. Humans can run, jog, walk, crawl, climb, slither, hop, roll, somersault, flip, dive, swim, leap, skip, swing, pivot, twirl, etc. We may be crap at any one of these compared to other animals that are adapted to doing those movements, but few if any other animals are able to do ALL of those movements that humans can. This jack-of-all trades flexibility of movement synergizes will with the big creative brain, giving it a large array of options to mix and match and combine together in novel ways to allow humans to physically access a wide range of potential environmental barriers.
Best RUclips channel! Great work at always Thoughty2! Look forward every week to your videos!
That would be the lion. Its strong molars can chew and grind within seconds. But I could be wrong.
Wait wasnt it a single tiger that killed 436 people?! Im just starting the video now but the thumbnail seems to be misleading cause no tiger.. Oh you just said to guess in comments 😂😂 well this worked out. But i wish we knew what the beast of gevudan was really cause it seem more likely that they just killed a bunch of random wolves! So many people said it had a cats type tale and stripes. Back then some type of traveling circus/zoo could easily have lost a Tiger/Thylacine/Panther and not said anything.
Thoughty 2 & Why files are amazing channels. Full of humour and knowledge with brilliant style of story telling.
As a child I took Taw Kwon Do classes taught by a North Korean soldier who left the country. He was not the nicest man and made constant reminders that Tae Kwon Do is a martial art created to mimic the finesse and ferociousness of a Tiger. I remember when he was teaching my sister how to grip, twist and knife hand a man's balls off 😂
Guess he liked to teach girls how to do CBT
It’s the Crocodile. I can’t remember what they named him but I remember going to see the movie about him. He’s ginormous!
It’s my boi Gustave your talking about
Tigers are easy for humans to breed in captivity. Wikipedia suggests that there are nearly 10,000 captive tigers, which is probably more than the wild population.
Not only our intelligence, our stamina and dexterity is also maxed out. We certainly can fight as well, albeit we need a tool. There's nothing we can't kill. There's many stories of people taking down predators, even in 1v1 scenarios. Plenty stories of warriors of the past doing this as well. We might not have the strength, speed, toughness, or agility, but we certainly have everything else.
Just a reminder we might be at the top of the food chain but this doesn't mean an animal wont look at us and see dinner
First
But did the tigress get that injury before or after she started attacking humans? A LOT of people were hunting her AFTER she started killing people.
Tigers hunting humans is not uncommon, even to this day in certain areas.
If anyone is more interested in the Tsavo Lions story, there's a film about it featuring Val Kilmer & Michael Douglas: "The Ghost & The Darkness"
Humans are the only ones who can outrun their shadow when in present danger. Love your voice, you would make a great narrator for Kindle audiobooks. Great video. Subscribed.
There is a pretty amazing sloth bear vs tiger video on youtube. Quite epic how the smaller sloth bear somehow holds it's own.
What ive studied there are 2 badasses, the Tiger & Grizzly [BROWN] Bear. Both if harmed these 2 will get persons sense and hunt the human until they kill the person. Talk about extra scary. Atlease Grizzly Brown bears are more remote areas. The Tiger many reports state tigers kill hundreds each year. This is ppl thats known but because of the area so many ppl die and never reported. Another great video. Thank you keep them coming
This is got to be one your best narrating jobs had me laughing off my seat man you're killing me bro great work for the great work
How do you make your thumbnails? Truly breathtaking!
Ai. Probably a custom model.
the Tsavo lions is one of my fav stories. The movie scarred me as a child lol
am from Burundi and honestly 200 people on Gustave its just an underestimated number ,and i believe is still alive but on different cost of Tanganyika due to the military enforcement on Gustave
jim corbett's tales of hunting man eaters are literally some of the best adventure tales ever. great episode!
I'll never view my orange tabby the same way again. Thanks, Arran.
>I'll never view my orange tabby the same way again
It's a small lion:

*436 KILLS??????? BY A SINGLE TIGER??*
😲
She's definitely earned her stripes...
Didn't expect to hear "Stroad" outside of the new-urbanism corner of RUclips, I love it
You are in fact with no dought the best story teller I've ever listened to
I am familiar with the story as Corbett wrote about it and I read his account. It was part of a longer book that described many of his hunts including those of man eating tigers. I find it truly interesting that the way you ended the video is one of the constants that Corbett noted. As a result, it became illegal to hunt or shoot tigers UNLESS you were qualified. Too many wounded tigers became man eating tigers. Interesting story about backlash from animals. Corbett was a true sportsman. And he was deadly since he never wounded a single animal. He killed every one that he hunted. Well, according to his account.
