"Man-eater"

2024

Tiger (Panthera tigirs)

The Champawat Tiger was probably the most prolific killer in the history of man-eating animals. Before being shot down by Jim Corbett in 1907, she had killed some 436 people across two countries. Her two right canines had been broken off, which is probably why she stopped hunting her habitual prey and shifted to stalking human beings. Imagine the terror she inspired!

Something a bit different to commemorate World Tiger Day on Monday.
