I grew up reading The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, until my book fell apart from use. I recently purchased a hardcover version and listening to this has given me as much enjoyment as reading my beloved book. Thank you!! ✌🏼💖
A really enjoy the stories. Thank you so much. I grew up in south Africa and these stories always remind me of the stories shared around the camp fire in hunting season.
About the 30 th bedtime 🥱 story I love these tales, my wife finds your voice so soothing. She asks me to play the. Stories again and again Good job she’ll never meet you in person ☺️
Corbett's sister Maggie wrote later about this episode and how his family including his half-sister were genuinely worried about Jim's safety while he was gone for many weeks on end hunting the Chowgarh tigress, much like the Rudraprayag leopard. Note that Jim was already around 55 years old at this time. Most people at that age wouldn't want to exchange their comfortable lives for sleeping on trees or makeshift beds in dangerous jungles, irregular or no proper meals for days, and doing endless amounts of walking in tough terrain. To me, these stories which I read as a young boy represent more than just a tale about some random man-killing tiger. It's a tale of one man's extraordinary courage and bravery rendered as a service to the "simple village folks" whom he loved and lived with. Thanks a ton for giving a voice to these remarkable adventures!
As a young child I was introduced to this great man's work...his feelings for the simple village folk...his love for the flora n fauna...his commitment to conservation...incredible...have been reading his works for the past 40 years ...but I cannot thank you enough for these audio books.. as there is nothing like a good story in a good soothing voice...plz keep up the good work...May you be blessed and rewarded for your efforts. Best wishes .
Thank you so much for your efforts. these tales need to be told before they are lost. Jim Corbett , is a man I admire very much, it is unimaginable the courage he had ,to undertake these hunts solo, with only three bullets in his pocket, all to alleviate the sufferings of the people he loved, for no personal gain, Absolutely amazing!,
So glad you mention this. People fail to understand the courage it would have taken to go out on these dangerous hunts for days on end in pursuit of very dangerous animals solo and on foot, in a terrain that was treacherous with mountains, and ravines and dense scrub jungles. It is virtually unthinkable to imagine anyone doing this today. The so called "trophy hunters" always hunted in groups and with the aid of machans or on vehicles or on the backs of elephants.
ive listened to countless audiobooks, and YOUR narration for Corbett and Anderson are my hands down favorites. Narrators often annoy or ruin the "mood" of a very good book. But i've read all Corbett and Andersons books and i regularly listen to your readings. I've enjoyed every single one. As you obviously know, there are STILL man eaters in India and africa. There ARE still stories out the on this subject. Yet we don't have the same writers on the subject. to record and narrate the suffering of the villagerd, the quirks of the maneater and the hunt for it. I would not be surprised if YOU are able to write as well. How about collecting modern stories about maneaters and narrating them on your channel. I would pay to subscribe to listen to the stories if you narrated them. thanks for all the excellent stories so far.
The reason I'm ranting about this is that I regularly check english newspaper in India online and I come across many reports on maneaters. And yet a newspaper story has no soul or heart. we don't know anything except how many victims. TO GIVE THOSE stories FACES and NAMES of actual people would make BOTH Corbett and Anderson smile. Sad that these very dramatic stories just get a few lines in a newspaper.
This content brings forth many of the same emotions I felt while watching The Ghost in the Darkness or The Edge as a child. I lived in Malaysia in the late 90's. In the deep jungle I saw a Tiger. It was among the most majestic and terrifying things I've seen. I was told a story of a coworker of my father, whose friend had been killed by a Tiger. He was a wealthy businessman, out on an artificial lake upon a small boat for leisure. Earlier, he and his companions had encountered a Tiger in the jungle. They had sensed that it was stalking them, so they quickly made their way back to the boat. They rowed away quickly. Unfortunately, they were correct that the Tiger was on their trail. It stalked along the shore, using the brush for cover. After not having seen it for a long time, they took a break. The Tiger had been waiting for such a moment, swimming towards them from behind. By the time they noticed the big cat, it was too late. Tigers can swim quite well, apparently. It quickly caught up to them, dragging a man from the boat. They were helpless to resist, having no choice but to watch the Tiger drag their friend to his surely very painful death. One can only hope that he drowned. This was at a resort in Malaysia in the late 90's. Perhaps a news story exists of the incident, but such things were relatively common at the time. These awesome animals are incredibly beautiful, but will indeed see us as food when hungry. They must be treated with the proper respect. We must prevent Tigers from becoming maneaters, so that the animals can survive for our children and grandchildren to witness, and stare in awe at the wonder of the fruit produced by our beautiful Earth. I was also stalked by a Mountain Lion/Puma, if anyone cares to hear the story! That was relatively recent, only a few years ago.
That's a remarkably harrowing tale. Tigers are incredibly intelligent as majestic apex predators and that can due to one or more unfortunate human-induced circumstances manifest itself in terrifying consequences. Left alone with space to roam and with its natural supply of game, tigers are shy and solitary. I highly recommend you check out "The Tiger" by John Valliant. Thanks for sharing your story.
@@scottwortham533 As an American, I understand where you're coming from but things were not so simple in this case. As someone who was born in India I understand that the colonial british government restricted the use and sale of firearms for Indian people (for obvious reasons), and even so, tigers are highly dangerous and the terrain in the area Corbett is talking about, rugged and mountainous. Unless you are carrying a gun, 24*7, when out and about, going about your life tending cattle or working in the fields, its impossible to be prepared for a sudden ambush attack in an area with dense jungles and uneven, mountainous terrain.
@Alex Evans Pop Psych I would love to hear of your puma story! I grew up in Southern California and took a field methods in ecology class, which included overnight camping field trips. One of them was near where some people had been attacked by pumas. I was scared but fascinated and I asked the rangers lots of questions so that I could hopefully avoid becoming one of their victims! I never saw one, but that doesn’t mean that one or more didn’t see me! I did find some pretty fresh paw prints by a river in the Hoh Rainforest, out on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. That’s the closest I’ve had to an encounter (knock on wood!) But Id love to hear your story!!
Giving a cow to the boy whose cow was killed by the panther at 1:14:00 and even after fulfilling the material loss, understanding the emotional pain of that poor fellow is what makes Sir Jim Corbet a man with big heart and is the reason why he is still loved by the old folks of kumaun.
Well done as always. Listening to these stories, I often feel I am sitting at a campfire, listening to a guide as he tells what seems like legends of the past, but these in fact, are not legends, but true accounts from a simpler time. It’s very inspiring to hear a truly skilled hunter’s battles for success against many obstacles, difficulty’s, and unforeseeable failures, topped with the fact that the creature he was hunting would turn the tables and hunt the hunter. Jim Corbett was truly a man among men, and an example worth imitating. The Rudeaprayag man-eating Leopard was my favorite story, but Chowgarh Tigers is equally thrilling and may be my new favorite. Keep it up, l recommend this to all my friends, always waiting for your next upload.
was just scrolling for something to watch/listen to and noticed this. always a pleasure to see a new video from you. your quickly becoming one of my go to channels for story videos
Absolute gem of a story. Marvellously narrated too. It amazes me to think that Jim Corbett, for all his other qualities, was also a great writer. He is the gold standard against which all other wildlife adventure writings should be compared. Thanks a ton!!
That's right. It took me a while to realize that it takes skills as a writer to handle subjects like these. Corbett never bogs the reader down with too many details, keeps the pace up without dragging too much, and doesn't drift into bravado with a narrative that's stated in a very matter-of-fact way.
I sincerely appreciate the effort with all the audio productions of the Corbett stories. I am looking forward to future productions. Thanks again, and please keep it up.
I read books by Jim Corbett and Kenneth Anderson as quite a young child (back in the 1960s) and for years afterwards suffered nightmares about being chased by tigers. A bit of an example of how impressionable minds can be influenced by the things they come into contact with I guess LOL. I still love reading the books and really enjoyed listening to this rendition. It is great that you are preserving these wonderful books n this way.
Haha, Western Australia has its own fair share of 'nightmarish' creatures. But your thoughts about Mr. Corbett and Mr. Anderson are right on point. Thank you for commenting.
I have read many true life adventure stories but very few have been as enthralling as this. I can see why he is regarded as such a legend. I don't think these particular set of circumstances will ever be duplicated and consequently there will never be anything remotely similar to this. What a life this guy lived and what a time this was. Walking on foot, sleeping in the wild, hunting game animals for the villagers while hunting a rogue tiger. This is what living truly is. Being good at something that earns you fame, and respect while at the same time being helpful to others. Nobody would have remembered Jim Corbett if he had amassed a large fortune or lived a life of comfort. Inspiring stuff. Thank you to the narrator.
I visited the area last year. He is well remembered and still respected. When you in this area you realise how brave and understanding he was. I am so pleased so many people still know of his life. Lets not let him die away.
I have listened to this three times now. Corbett;'s adventures are addicting. Recently discovered your channel and it's been a boon to me while I recover in the hospital. God bless 🙏
@@selvalore no problem, it's great content it's exactly what I've been looking for, I love Jim Corbett hunting stories. I'm just finishing the man eating leopard of Rudraprayag as that one is my favourite
Whenever I read incidents written by Corbett the first thing that becomes evident is his love for common Indians and his understanding of their feelings and daily struggles to make a living. Next is his deep understanding of nature's flora and fauna.
Corbett’s writings have intrinsic, cultural and historic value. They need to be read or heard widely. It would be wrong to put them behind a paywall. You can help by sharing, liking and subscribing. Thanks for listening.
@@selvalore Thankyou for your noble effort. I have already liked shared and subscribed. I have read all the works of Jim Corbett, he was one of my favourites right from childhood. It feels so good to sit back, relax and enjoy the story being narrated in your superb way. Thankyou so much once again.
This is so relaxing to hear that I have listened to it multiple times but each time I fall asleep before the end. Thank you for putting these amazing stories on audio.
Selva lore and the wild west extravaganza are the 2 best things on the Internet both are informative and an absolute joy to listen to and they make learning so much fun!
Those that have found the patience you say Mr Lore, it is very easily found listening to your very nice story telling voice, you help very much to bring, excitement, a sense of danger,sadness, sheer terror, romance, wonder and joy, a wonderful gift to share with the world, thank you.
Nicely done! That was my Sunday afternoon treat. These stories have an intensity to them and make me wish for a jungle safari in tiger country. Greetings from sawtooth mountains, Idaho.
Jim Corbett was the greatest hunter that ever lived ! Keep in mind that he wasn't a bounty hunter, he felt it his duty to his country and the villagers that lived there. Even more impressive was that Jim was over fifty years of age when he killed alot of these maneaters. After he moved to Africa he still sent money to the villagers in India. A TRUE HERO ! R.I.P. JIM . Nice job once again. Thanks for your hard work
SON AFTER FINISHING ALL CHAPTERS OF JIM CORBETT. PLEASE TRY KENNETH ANDERSON BOOKS ON MAN EATERS. LATER IF POSSIBLE. BOTH ARE MY FAVORITE JUNGLE BOOKS SOME 65 YEARS BACK. GOD BLESS YOU
I ve never posted a commentary yet, just posted "like". But it s such a pleasure to listen to your recordings of all these jungle tales! I love the tales and I love the accent. It s a bit weird to love these tales, since it s all about killing. But then, they re man eaters, so they re not just wild animals. I m planning a trip to India next year and I will definitely go to some natural reserves. I ve spent about a year in total in India, and this time I ll definitely avoid the cities!
This is the way to go. The cities can be a challenge to navigate for obvious reasons.. But the pockets of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries that do remain offer respite. Thank you for commenting!
One of Corbett's best! Wish he'd made this or the Talla Des man-eater into a whole book. Can't get enough of the narrative in those two. Very compelling and engrossing and both were a pair of Tigers. Well done with the reading.
Indeed! As far as I know, he did intend to write a whole book on the Talla Des tigers but for some reason could not. A whole book on Chowgarh tigers would have been something.
This was absolutely spellbinding! The story was fascinating and your narration was perfectly fitting! Thank you for sharing this -I will share it with anyone who I feel will appreciate it. ✌🏼💖
This is my favorite story of them all. This is the third time I’ve listened to it. Just amazing how he happened to look over his shoulder and the tigress was right there about to get him. Mind blown!
It would be difficult for anyone to read with an inflection that gives the words of such a varying group of people such respect and understanding... the dying young mother that survived an attack and locked eyes with corbett and how cheerful she was such a short time later stands out
I like Kenneth Anderson to but the fact that Mr Corbett had to walk everywhere to find these man eaters over these huge areas they operated in is truly remarkable that’s why it took years to catch up with some of them! The fact that he found them let alone killed them is amazing! He’s one of my hero’s growing up that got me to go on safari hunting I wanted to be a PH in Africa my whole life but when I got there and seen how humans ruined the whole country I quickly realized I was born 100 years to late! I wish I lived in time of true legends like Corbett, Hunter, Black, Fritz and Patterson!
Very true. Those men you mention were made out of a different kind of flesh and blood. They don't make men like them anymore. We have become soft and comfortable. Not to mention, we have ruined the wildnerness and the wild places around us to a point of no return. And I don't mean to glamorize wanton killing for sport. I'm talking about fair, responsible hunts with respect to the ecology of the land, and the animals involved as a way to connect with our roots and our ancestors.
Thank you so much for all the work you have done in putting together this You Tube page. I shared your page on our Corbett Facebook page. It's great to be able to enjoy these books at times when we cannot read them. Thanks a lot!
Excellently read. Many thanks to you for putting time and effort into this. I prefer this over the official audiobook available on audible. Can't wait for the rest of the chapters to be uploaded as well.
Just came across your channel and I just want to say thank you for your awesome content. I think I came across the channel after listening to a video by Bob Gymlan about the lions of Tsavo. I've been listening to your readings the last few nights as I fall asleep. Can't wait to come across some more of your videos. Thank you.
Thank you for the great Jim stories. Your passion for the way you do your job can get you far if you keep it up and even if nothing you will still feel accomplished. Good luck and bless 🙌 🙏
Great story. Corbett has maintained a good balance here. There is the thrill of the hunt, the description of wildlife along with interesting anecdotes.
My father was in the Korean War and he had a tiger 🐅 trap him in a latrine , he lived by screaming for help on his late night trip to the bathrooms… but you know that tiger was killed later in the week a young male tiger but my father had a life time of nightmares he was a avid hunter here in Iowa until we started having mountain lions here . He would wake up screaming about the tiger 🐅 at least once every two weeks until he passed away .
That is a terrifying prospect. Your father must have had plenty of stories to tell as someone from the greatest generation. Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Having just reread Corbett's dramatic account of his shooting of the old Chowgarh tigress, I now suspect that the cat was near death and had gone into the narrow chamber in the ravine to die. This part of the ravine was enclosed on three sides by steep "walls" leaving only one exit. In my experience, cats do not like being in a space with only one exit and will avoid such a location....unless they are sensing approaching death. Since the cat did not attack Corbett as he very slowly swung his rifle around (while continually looking Corbett in the face and holding her head just above her paws), I feel that the tigress was dying and had chosen this confined space for her last hours or minutes. I wish I had the opportunity to ask Corbett about this possibility, which he does not address.
Your presumptions pay no attention at all to Corbett's accounts of the events leading up to his final afternoon with this tiger. She was hunting him and had she been near death or wounded and looking for a place to die, she would not have played quiet tag with him during the days leading up to her death. And had, what you presume been the case, Corbett would have certainly stated it as part of his reporting of this event.

Nicely done! That was my Sunday afternoon treat. These stories have an intensity to them and make me wish for a jungle safari in tiger country. Greetings from sawtooth mountains, Idaho.
Amazing. Thanks for tuning in from the great state of Idaho!
Came across your channel.. your voice is so soothing.. I fell asleep listening yours.. kudos for the good work
I really love Jim Corbett stories!
Thank you so much, I was thinking today I would love a new story and here it is , these are great thank you for your time and excellent performance.
That's a wonderful thing to say. Thanks for listening Mr. Campbell!
Thank you.
God’s love never quits.
It’s amazing how Kenneth Anderson and Jim Corbett would admit that their mistakes cost people their lives!
Jim Corbett was the greatest hunter that ever lived ! Keep in mind that he wasn't a bounty hunter, he felt it his duty to his country and the villagers that lived there. Even more impressive was that Jim was over fifty years of age when he killed alot of these maneaters. After he moved to Africa he still sent money to the villagers in India. A TRUE HERO ! R.I.P. JIM . Nice job once again. Thanks for your hard work
It’s amazing how many miles Kenneth Anderson and Jim Corbett and the villagers walked!
The audio was well done. I had to listen to the entire book in one sitting. Thank you for your hard work as it is truly appreciated.
You're welcome and thank you for leaving a comment.
It's amazing sir. it gives me goose bumps and shiver in spine. Very natural and energetical voice with clarity enhance excitement. Superb
Love this Old School Story telling ... Great stuff
Your reading is quite something I can tell you love you history and these stories thank you so much 👍👍👍
You are welcome and thanks!
Thank you. I've listened to every Corbett tale you've read.
So glad to hear that. Thanks for listening!
Listening to him corbet audibles gives somewhat deep relaxing thrill particularly during sleep .. great effort 🤟🤟
Happy to hear that. Thanks!
Thanks for the work you have been doing for the comminity :) listenimg to this with an Indian accent makes it authentic! Love from Portugal
Glad you like it. Good to hear from Portugal!
Heard the book -- too good. I have read them long time back . Simply awesome
Hell yeah, perfect timing. Appreciate your efforts brother!
Absolutely, brother! Glad you're here, and thanks for listening!
Although I am quite familiar with the story, I have never heard it read so well. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Thanks for listening!
Excellent narration.... Keep it going... We are always there to hear these beautiful shikar tales
Thanks for listening!
SON AFTER FINISHING ALL CHAPTERS OF JIM CORBETT. PLEASE TRY KENNETH ANDERSON BOOKS ON MAN EATERS. LATER IF POSSIBLE. BOTH ARE MY FAVORITE JUNGLE BOOKS SOME 65 YEARS BACK. GOD BLESS YOU
I ve never posted a commentary yet, just posted "like". But it s such a pleasure to listen to your recordings of all these jungle tales! I love the tales and I love the accent. It s a bit weird to love these tales, since it s all about killing. But then, they re man eaters, so they re not just wild animals. I m planning a trip to India next year and I will definitely go to some natural reserves. I ve spent about a year in total in India, and this time I ll definitely avoid the cities!
This is the way to go. The cities can be a challenge to navigate for obvious reasons.. But the pockets of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries that do remain offer respite.
Thank you for commenting!
One of Corbett's best! Wish he'd made this or the Talla Des man-eater into a whole book. Can't get enough of the narrative in those two. Very compelling and engrossing and both were a pair of Tigers. Well done with the reading.
Indeed! As far as I know, he did intend to write a whole book on the Talla Des tigers but for some reason could not. A whole book on Chowgarh tigers would have been something.
Thanks for the audiobooks
THANK YOU VERY MUCH . GOD BLESS YOU. PLEASE OTHER CHAPTERS ALSO.
My pleasure, sir! Glad as always to see your comment. Thank you for listening!
Excellent! Another tale to brighten my evening. Thank you once again
Pleasure! Thanks for tuning in Mr. Dean
It's as though I'm reading it myself: beautiful, vividly pictorial narration! Thanks a lot! 🙏🏼🙃
Much appreciated and thanks for the comment!
A master storyteller.
This was absolutely spellbinding! The story was fascinating and your narration was perfectly fitting! Thank you for sharing this -I will share it with anyone who I feel will appreciate it. ✌🏼💖
That would be great. Thanks for your excellent comment!
This is my favorite story of them all. This is the third time I’ve listened to it. Just amazing how he happened to look over his shoulder and the tigress was right there about to get him. Mind blown!
Thanks for the comment!
Thank you , I look forward to your uploads and enjoy every story ,you read them so well . Jim
Thanks for listening
Going hungry for 64 hours .Good lord .Jim Corbett was simply stunning
These tigers were so bold as to attack in broad daylight and in full view of a crowd of villagers!
Enthralling story telling, excellent narration.
I love every aspect, tone and style of this production. So well conceived and executed. Thanks.
Thank you for listening and for the comment.
Maneaters scare the crap out of me, far more than any serial killer.
This was really cool and I appreciate the quality of your recording.
Thank you for the comment!
It would be difficult for anyone to read with an inflection that gives the words of such a varying group of people such respect and understanding... the dying young mother that survived an attack and locked eyes with corbett and how cheerful she was such a short time later stands out
Cheers for the comment!
I like Kenneth Anderson to but the fact that Mr Corbett had to walk everywhere to find these man eaters over these huge areas they operated in is truly remarkable that’s why it took years to catch up with some of them! The fact that he found them let alone killed them is amazing! He’s one of my hero’s growing up that got me to go on safari hunting I wanted to be a PH in Africa my whole life but when I got there and seen how humans ruined the whole country I quickly realized I was born 100 years to late! I wish I lived in time of true legends like Corbett, Hunter, Black, Fritz and Patterson!
Very true. Those men you mention were made out of a different kind of flesh and blood. They don't make men like them anymore. We have become soft and comfortable. Not to mention, we have ruined the wildnerness and the wild places around us to a point of no return. And I don't mean to glamorize wanton killing for sport. I'm talking about fair, responsible hunts with respect to the ecology of the land, and the animals involved as a way to connect with our roots and our ancestors.
Ancient man could say the same thing about the era of men you talk about. It is what it is.
scintillating narration !!
Thank you so much for all the work you have done in putting together this You Tube page. I shared your page on our Corbett Facebook page. It's great to be able to enjoy these books at times when we cannot read them. Thanks a lot!
I appreciate the support and thank you for listening.
Thanks for the awesome story reading, this story is unique and thrilling
Enjoyed, another one of your lively narration. Hope you find time for many more, Thanks☺
Thank you for the comment!
I love the way you read ….. it’s like I am actually seeing the incidents first hand , I got goosebumps listening to it ……. Amazing work
Thank you for the comment!
Excellently read. Many thanks to you for putting time and effort into this. I prefer this over the official audiobook available on audible. Can't wait for the rest of the chapters to be uploaded as well.
Exactly. The narrator on audible wasn't able to capture the tone of these books.
It’s miraculous that the woman had survived the tiger attack. Jim Corbett also tended to her wounds as he had to the young girl!
now enjoying hearing this ..can visualize this ..loving it
Just came across your channel and I just want to say thank you for your awesome content. I think I came across the channel after listening to a video by Bob Gymlan about the lions of Tsavo. I've been listening to your readings the last few nights as I fall asleep. Can't wait to come across some more of your videos. Thank you.
Welcome aboard, David! And thank you for taking the time to comment.
Love these docos keep it going best wishes from Australia
Thanks for listening, from down under!
The narrator did an excellent work!!
I’m amazed that Jim Corbett tended to the girl’s wounds!
The fact that he could pick one tiger out of 100 tigers just from their feet is amazing.
Absolutely, that's a very good point. He was an expert tracker. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the great Jim stories. Your passion for the way you do your job can get you far if you keep it up and even if nothing you will still feel accomplished. Good luck and bless 🙌 🙏
Thank you for saying that and for commenting!
Great story. Corbett has maintained a good balance here. There is the thrill of the hunt, the description of wildlife along with interesting anecdotes.
That's right! Thanks for listening.
I usually don’t comment on youtube. But brother your channel is a main stay for me.
Thank you, I appreciate your comment Girish!
Thank you... Enjoying it
Another great story and excellent narration.

Excellent voice outstanding narration .I wish if I could narrate like this
Love your work man beautiful narration
It's like my request got to you telepathically..
Was about to request another audio.
Thanks.cheers.
It did get to me. Appreciate the comment and keep listening Mr. Bhatt!
This reading is just awesome
Thanks for posting this 💯❤
Miraculously, the girl survived the tiger attack!
My father was in the Korean War and he had a tiger 🐅 trap him in a latrine , he lived by screaming for help on his late night trip to the bathrooms… but you know that tiger was killed later in the week a young male tiger but my father had a life time of nightmares he was a avid hunter here in Iowa until we started having mountain lions here . He would wake up screaming about the tiger 🐅 at least once every two weeks until he passed away .
That is a terrifying prospect. Your father must have had plenty of stories to tell as someone from the greatest generation. Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Top content not found on youtube thank you very much,
Thanks for your interest in these Sven!
Having just reread Corbett's dramatic account of his shooting of the old Chowgarh tigress, I now suspect that the cat was near death and had gone into the narrow chamber in the ravine to die. This part of the ravine was enclosed on three sides by steep "walls" leaving only one exit. In my experience, cats do not like being in a space with only one exit and will avoid such a location....unless they are sensing approaching death. Since the cat did not attack Corbett as he very slowly swung his rifle around (while continually looking Corbett in the face and holding her head just above her paws), I feel that the tigress was dying and had chosen this confined space for her last hours or minutes. I wish I had the opportunity to ask Corbett about this possibility, which he does not address.
Interesting! That's a perfectly plausible theory. Thanks for sharing.
Your presumptions pay no attention at all to Corbett's accounts of the events leading up to his final afternoon with this tiger. She was hunting him and had she been near death or wounded and looking for a place to die, she would not have played quiet tag with him during the days leading up to her death. And had, what you presume been the case, Corbett would have certainly stated it as part of his reporting of this event.
The old man was lucky enough to have survived the tiger attack! But he was disfigured.
Your very good at this !
More please! atleast once a week
That's a lot of work. Thanks for watching.
