- CORRECTION - It seems that I made a mistake about the bite force of a lion. The bite force of a lion is higher than 650 psi and is actually closer to the bite force of a tiger.
The true story of how one Bengal tiger was driven to man-eating in Nepal and India. Sometimes called 'The Beast of Champawat'.
There are many charities that help tigers. Here are some shown in the video:

CORRECTION - It seems that I made a mistake about the bite force of a lion. The bite force of a lion is higher than 650 psi and is actually closer to the bite force of a tiger. Sorry for the mistake.
Yes the 691psi was done on a 2 year old sub adult male. A 6-7 year old specimen should bite around 1000psi
Yep,I believe they are very close in size and aggression, Tiger is a bit bigger,but really u could probably flip a coin with either one,only thing that could possibly make a difference is that Lions have the backup of their pride,so If it was just a one on one thing,Tiger is very used to defending its territory alone and MALE lions of the pride will group up and attack!!
@@raypratt3611 in my opinion its hunting records wich had "320kgs" "380kgs" tigers. Thats why i dont trust hunting records,same for Lions...i dont believe in the 385kgs male from Angola,it was an exaggeration as most hunting records were.
Now you wonder why a siberian tiger under scientific supervision "only" weighs 252kgs,yes that is the heaviest recorded weight for a siberian on scientific records. And for a Bengal is 261kgs on an empty stomach. For the african lion it is 272kgs on an empty stomach (source:dr koch richard) the Lion was from Mount Kenya.
Unforgivable
Also, can you use real measurements like inches and pounds please?
I watched this with my little cat. Halfway through he looked at me, bit me on the hand, and went on purring. I think you gave him ideas.
hahah
😂😂😂
Sounds like a little man eater to me . He's just practicing on your hand
LOL
House cats are mini lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards, and so on. Don't ever forget it 😕
Once I got the opportunity to see a man-eater(locked in a cage, of course) face-to-face in Kanpur zoo. It was named "Prashanta". When the tiger saw us, it gave a roar that totally paralysed us on spot. I have rarely felt the primordial sense of fear I felt that day.
They captured a man-eater and then kept it in a zoo? That doesn't sound right.
I live in the same town of Champawat.
There are still some tigers in the open but attack on humans have reduced drastically.
I go for jogging in the same corbert trail and visit the same spot where the maneater tigress was killed(there is a monument built now).
Jogging in the jungle with tigers around?? Think it’s a sprint test instead of jogging
Thats very dangerous. I am from uttar pradesh india.. And here a forest officer was killed by a tigress and she ate his entire body it happened in dudhwa national park. I live beside that national park and when sunlight starts fainting nobody gets out.
@@vishakhduttsingh1752 what if ur hiking outside and you have nowhere to stay?
@@user-ve3fk3qs9i try not to roam in a tiger's territory during and after sunset.
In dudhwa its really dangerous because tigers are really unpredictable here.
@@vishakhduttsingh1752 can tigers break into homes?
Your reverence and respect for the tiger and those that seek to preserve it is audible, not to mention greatly appreciated. Explaining the context of this situation is crucial and you did a fantastic job. I especially thank you for shining a light on the unsung heroes, rangers in these areas, who risk their lives to protect species that many would rather destroy.
Well presented...bravo...
"Your reverence and respect for the tiger and those that seek to preserve it is audible"

I think you may have meant ‘laudable’ not ‘audible’ but great comment nonetheless
This is like listening to a really really high quality audiobook, I loved it! Can’t believe this video doesn’t have more views and likes
Wow, thank you!
@SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION True. But they have TWICE THE HONOUR and COURAGE of Lions.
What ok im glad for the info on nature but he sounds tired its good but nowhere near the quality you're describing.lmao
@@DensilGrant you’re entitled to your opinion and I’m entitled to mine :)
You could make a movie out of this
When I worked at Garrett Air research I met a young Indian engineer. We got to talking about where he was from in India. He said he was born and raised near the Nepal border. Having read Corbett’s Maneaters of Kumaon I asked him if he had ever heard of Corbett. He got quiet and say everyone in that part of the Indian knew Sahib Corbett. Corbett is still revered in that part of Indian 75 years after he passing.
Even out of the Nepal and Tarai areas Corbett is remembered & revered as one of the best hunters and conservationists, has many memorials all around North India excluding the National reserve named after him.
Great book
Lies
@Patricia Crowell currently in corbett history is repeating, man eater on loose in corbett killing 11 people till now, yet to be captured, recently attacked a motorcycle in which 2 guys we're travelling, it grabbed the pillon rider and dragged him into forest, next day official and the victims friend who escaped just found his hands and his mobile, nothing else
@@virchandrakumar8186 why do you say so ?
I read Maneaters of Kumaon when I was just 11 years old. To date, it remains one of the most memorable pieces of literature I've encountered, simply for the way it gripped my adolescent imagination and influenced my life afterwards.
As I watched this video today, I felt almost the same chill as I felt reading Corbett 40 years ago. Except for some pictorial flaws, the video is very well made. I'll subscribe.
Incidentally, I am happy to report I live in Bhutan, where we've managed to keep enough forests to foster the world's healthiest tiger population. The Champawat maneater's descendants now roam freely and peacefully here even at altitudes of over 12,000 feet above sea level. And none of them have killed any of us. Corbett would have been happy here.
I didn't know Bhutan was so kind to tigers. Thank you for the heartwarming comment!
Yes excellent reading Corbett was such a hero and still is in that part of the world
I am overjoyed to hear this :-).
I was staying at my Dad's house and I was meant to be studying for my exams when I discovered the book. I didn't get much studying done and by the end of the day I was hooked on Corbett and am still a fan years later.
I have Corbett's book and have re-read it many times. When I endeavor to cull my library, I always put this book in the save pile. It's a great book!
As Jim Cotbett explained in his famous book The ManEaters Of Kumaon, more often than not, tigers become man eaters due to old age, failing health, tooth decay, or other such factors that render them incapable of hunting their natural prey.
On at least one occasion out of hate because the tiger was shot several times.He first destroyed the hunters cabin and a day later he came back and killed the hunter
And you know.. the fact more than a billion people live in their home country taking their habitats away. I hate humans, especially ones that think having dozens of children is beneficial ffs
@@erikramaekers63 on just about all those occasions when the tiger is shot and not killed it handicaps the tiger no longer having the ability to catch its fleeter footed prey they hunt people, they do display behaviour we would attribute to hatred but I believe they continued to hunt humans because they are easier to catch
Oh so as humans were the last resort on the menu?
Does our flesh really taste so bad that a tiger would only choose to eat us if health or tooth decay prevents him from eating a tastier yet more difficult to catch meal?
Tiger be like !! 'Fuck sake, I can't catch a bastard deer with my dodgy knee so I'll have to eat one of those tasteless bland humans again'
Oh well I am sorry Mr tiger, I'll be certain to season my flesh before leaving the house in future if the prospect of eating me turns your stomach to such an extent !!
Cheeky ungrateful stripey fuckers they are !!
I feel insulted but not begging to be eaten either, I'd just like to think that although we're a tasty meal, they choose to go for deers because they fear us, not because we're the dry, bland, left over scraps from the barbeque of earth !!!
Can't even give ourselves away these days !!
I feel like a left over sandwich at a family buffet !!
Nah we are prey to others thats ehat people don't understand.We are not super special we will be hunted and eaten if placed in such. A situation
We in India have very stringent policies for tiger conservation which has resulted in a significant increase in the tiger count. We are determined towards the cause. The lovely Beasts will soon walk the jungles in great numbers.
Thank you for the video!
Save the jungles first
In Australia we agree fully with the sentiments only we are trying to save the other great predator of south east Asia...the Estuarine or Saltwater crocodile. Before they were protected numbers were down to perhaps 5000. Since government programmes including farming crocs and catch and release there's perhaps 10 time that, but there's a long way to go. Oh and just an aside. They tested the bite force of a 15 foot salty and it was 3300 Psi
F tigers.
India has done a fine job in the circumstances of human population pressure and poaching (facilitated by Indians, not Colonists).
Tiger numbers crashed due to human development causing habitat loss and conflict with livestock when the natives killed off the wild game after independence. Project tiger finally slowed this exploitation. The British & Maharajahs vigorously protected them for sport shooting and wider conservation in the 20th century, it's no coincidence some of the finest tiger reserves are ex maharajah native states and game reserves.
To increase habitat capacity for tigers, reducing the human population back towards that present when tigers were common, and not taking revenge on them for killing livestock that has displaced wild game would help.
Would greatly help the planet & species also.
Jim Corbett is the greatest. Familiar with all the plants, animals and folks around, respectful with a big loving heart.
RIP Jim.
he was a hunter
@@iykyk_1056 Hunters always make for the greatest of conservationists.

The Greatest indeed, I am a Corbett fan since my childhood days! Corbett Forever!
Your storytelling ability is truly outstanding, you have a real talent for this. +1 subscriber
Wow, thank you!
You have an incredible talent for telling the story with just enough suspense to keep the watcher glued to the video,but you also show compassion and I love how you added the links for big cat charities. I am glad I found your website!
This is one of the best tiger documentary I've ever watched. Good explanations, point of view, complex. I loved it and i enjoyed every minute of it. I study tigers and big cats in general by several years and I am amazed by the accuracy of the facts here. Couldn't expect more from this💯
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words.
I thoroughly enjoyed this piece. I am from Bangladesh. The Bengal Tiger is our sigil, also the national animal, also the name of our cricket team.
I grew up reading Jim Corbett's adventures.
Most importantly, I just love the storytelling aspect of this (and perhaps) all your work.
I'm looking through your archive and looking forward to new material.
Regards.🎩
It's a great sigil.
Never come to the WEST
@@clenjones5748 I've been to the West. Wait, west of what? I've been to the proverbial and geographical west. Why wouldn't one come to the WEST?
@@clenjones5748have you ever heard about Indo-Europeans? They went to the "West", from India, and created the Western civilization.
My ancestors are from Uttarakhand. It used to be such a thrill visiting grandparents in the mountains in the 90s when electricity was still not a common resource. My uncles and cousins recounted me so many encounters with leopards and some even with Tigers... The good old days.
This is a very well researched work! Hars off. There's stuff about the regional history very few would know.
my ancestors are from sindh
I've seen a Siberian Tiger practically face to face, at the Bolivian Zoo, NC his name was Romeo. He weighed 800 lbs.!
This upload is seriously great, every aspect of is flawless and enjoyed every minute of it, something I would expect from a content creator with millions of subs and years of uploads, not someone’s first video??? Please continue to do this, it’s amazing. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it!
I read about man-eaters nearly all my life, i loved the detailed analysis including the socio-economic-political reasons that lead to that point. Kudos. Enjoying this so far.
Living in India in northeast state Mizoram, our ancestors have plenty of history and stories, pass down through generations, you won't believe how intelligent, powerful, mysterious, dangerous and talented like no other animals a tigers can really be, they really have some of the deepest knowledge how great tigers are according to their experiences cause they have to do foresting, gardening, farming, and hunting to survive, so, for having to compete with them, deal with and live with them for one generation after another, they respected the hell out of tigers so much it is a forbidden unwritten rules to even call them in their names directly, even when they killed one they don't want to claim it as their own doings. Many peoples won't realize and don't know how incredible this beautiful animal really is, they don't kill human for no reasons at all, and they also respect humans like no other wild predators, they are a mysterious creature, with an unbelievable intelligents and abilitys.
True I’m from West Bengal and my grandma was from Sundaebans. Tigers are seen as gods in these part of the world.
I just heard the story of the maneating leopard of Rudraprayag, seems they can be pretty smart and stealthy as well. I wouldn't care to be preyed upon by any of the large cats or big predators like bears we have in North America 😳 who are also intelligent animaIs as weII.
Blaming the tiger just because it did what it does under normal circumstances is utter evil and stupid.
Such beautiful words...🙏😔
@zoker-naik ExactIy right. Animals follow natural laws, not the laws of humans and we should not expect them to.
The least we can do after slaughtering so many, is try to coexist with them. Show them respect and leave wild places stay wild, where they can thrive. ❤️
Extraordinary content. You have made it almost like a professional documentory and yeah Great narrative skills as well.
Keep up the good work....👍
Wow, thank you!
This is the kind of wildlife documentary that is sorely missing and it actually feels like you have such respect both for the animals, people affected by them and me as viewer.
Tigers are beautiful cats. It is a shame how they have hunted and their habitat destroyed.
I almost cried when he was listing off the hundreds of majestic tigers that were slaughtered by those men for sport. How any human could so ruthlessly murder these beautiful creatures with guns for no reason other than selfish indulgence is way beyond me… so many lives lost due to human ego. Really sickening. Amazing video I really enjoyed this piece!
Thank you very much!
You can only murder a human. And qe rules over animals. We can do what we please with them. I just think we go ti far.
@@user-rz4jd5bt2v Humans have dominion of animals. A small percentage of animals can be used as food. Others are food and clothing, while others can be domestic and used for our task. Like ok and horses. Humans have dominion over the Earth, and animals either dread us or are used by us.
@Sevin Bamuels We need to respect animals and give them thier space. We can't and are not allowed to do what we please to them.
Same reason you can't do as you please to kill people, cause that kind of thinking leads to disaster.
All trophy hunters goto hell. Jesus does not approve happy murderers into His kingdom. Hellbound...🔥😈
Amazingly well researched.... Like at another level..
I've watch many videos and even read books on this Champawat tigress, nothing comes close to as much information as this...
Wow, thank you!
One problem. Tigers often break off teeth. Not all tiger with broken teeth end up man eaters. There isn't any correlation.
I've watched all of your content, and appreciate you and your videos very much! You are logical, open minded, and very intelligent. Keep up the great work!
Awesome! Thank you! You are very kind.
This video was honestly amazing, you tell great stories man. I’d love a series of these!
A very informative video. I have read Jim Corbett s book on Man Eaters. It is undoubtedly true many Man Eaters suffered injuries preventing them from killing their regular prey. As the first of Jim's Man Eaters had an injuring to her upper and lower canines. That fact saddened me to be honest. My thoughts and prayers to all those killed by her. Yet in essence she was made into a Man Eater. By someone who wounded her in the first place. 💪🏻
They also become cattle thieves and get injured by angry cowheards turning them into maneaters
@@JOEFABULOUS. yes Cattle especially when a Bull is in the herd. They can be formidable. Yet on thier own individual Cattle especially younger ones don't stand much of a chance. Especially when it's a mature Male Tiger that's after them. 💪🏼🙏🏻✨
How you presented the video has made it into one of the best videos made on this topic.
The format of what, when, where,how and why really helps the viewer to resonate with the topic and thanks for ending the video on a high note cuz upto that point it was getting kinda sad for someone who loves wildlife so much.
Wow, thank you! I appreciate it.
This is wonderful! Narration is great , I don't know if you put the video together as well but whoever did it is so beautifully done and has a strong message . Thank you.
Thank you so much.
They are so beautiful and strong. It's really a shame that
so many are now extinct. Thank you for sharing all the information with us.
So intriguing to learn why some big cats become man-eaters, thank you for spreading light on the plight of the tigers. I send my condolences to the victim's loved ones. Hopefully we will find harmony with these beautiful animals in the future. 🐅
It’s a tiger. It’s gonna eat. As more habitat destruction becomes a reality, they will come into much more consistent contact with humans. Leading to more attacks.
This is amazing content!! Great soothing voice. Not pretentious. Quality script. I thoroughly enjoyed it!! All the best with your channel future David Attenborough
Thank you so much! You're very kind.
You sir have AMAZING story telling skills ( ofc you were retelling a story ) but your pace and directing was PERFECT, you made the revelation of the tiger lacking 2 canines hit me SO much harder than it would have if I was reading this passage alone, great documentary bro SUB earned ;)🤩🙌🏽
I really had tears in my eyes in last, tiger are most beautiful animal in the world, we should save them at any cost, feel proud to be an Indian here tiger is our national animal, also huge respect for Jim Corbett..
What an amazing experience listening to this video was! You laid out the story beautifully and allowed us to feel for both the tigress and the scared villagers. So well written and put together- and that build-up of the adrenaline during the "kill or be killed" moment combined with the sound of a shot and an ejected shell was just...next level! 😘🤌 Bravo, man! Subscribed immediately after listening! You've found your calling! 👏👏👏
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it 🙏.
Having watched half of your backlog I can say these long form documentaries you do are so well done. You tackle these things exactly as I want. Please dont stop doing them.
With the thought and production in your videos you’ve got potential to make it. Top Job mate.
Thanks a ton!
I think the fact that you're making these videos while pushing for the conservation of the animals is awesome dude.
Greetings from West Bengal India.
This video requires more views.
I read the book and this was one of the best representation of it.
All main land tigers in India don't eat humans even if they happen to kill one.
But it seems there are still man eaters in the Sundarban regions.
The real man eaters are leopards though. Very opportunistic predators, they prefer living near villages or cities to pick a dog, cattle or even children. There were recent incidents near Mumbai..
You are what you eat.... Aren't there alot of chicken coops in Africa... Probably have a taste for chicken meat.... sooo the people probably had a simular taste for the tigers and lions...
@@b01tact10n Oh you think India is in Africa...
Must have flunked geography classes.😅
Great video! I never really thought about the man-eaters doing it as a last resort.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
Not all maneating tigers begin due to injury etc. More recent authors record those that prefer cattle (and getting shot as pests) to wild game became familiar with herdsmen and boys, and eventually head to head conflict defending the cows (as livestock or a kill) resulted in a dead herder that the tiger then sampled. After a few they discovered the herder is easier than the cow to kill. And the women who collected leaves daily for the cattle also fell victims once started. Tigers rarely break into huts at night to kill. Unlike leopards and Lions.
Mostly it's hunger due to injury or laziness.
It was also recorded managed sport licensed hunting was not the probable cause of tigers decline, but decrease in game and increase in cattle grazed in the jungles.
Natives and Europeans shooting them sometimes left wounded tigers (licensed hunters were expected to repot this, native poachers not so). Then defending domestic livestock by explosives, then insecticide were practiced also. Resulting in some injuries in one case, and the rapid hear extinction of the tiger in the other.
Protection and tiger reserves seen to have maintained them since.
Any tiger will kill and eat a person if they get half a chance
@@chesterswortham5197 Totally incorrect. Very few are aggressive, India would not be able to operate in forested rural areas otherwise. Defending a kill or cubs, or a sudden surprise or being cornered might cause an aggressive reaction, not will. Most simply avoid it, usually without even being detected. Otherwise unless hungry humans are safe. Hunger due to injury is the usual cause for serial maneating.
Once something realizes how easy we are to kill when unarmed, they'll attack and eat a human any chance they get. We're a fairly easy meal
The great effort and attention to detail gone into this video is truly impressive and commendable. This is the first video I have watched of yours and can't wait to watch the rest. Keep up the amazing work as its appreciated greatly.
Wow, thank you!
This is absolutely riveting. Im 25 minutes in and you have me on the edge of YOUR seat, you got me completly in and you have me dying. Im telling you, you have that 1 and a million skill as a story teller that one has to remember to breath because im wating for the next frame and sentence... damn good job friend. you should be on tv!
Thanks so much
I'd heard of this tiger, but never knew the complete backstory. The primordial terror of this tale is humbling, but then so is the context of what can create maneaters.
Fascinating. Many thanks.
There’s a YT channel called Selva Lore that does a really good reading of Corbetts actual account written about this tiger and others. Great stories.
I am definitely team tiger here. And I have a lot of appreciation for those saving them.
I honestly don't understand why humans aren't seen as actual prey from more animals. Unless we have a weapon, we are pretty easy targets with no natural defense against these beautiful animals. This was the first video have seen on your channel. Subscribed. Very interesting, great storytelling. Going to check out more now.
Generally whenever an animal killed humans we culled them to virtual extinction
we are seen as prey to a greater degree by tigers than he suggests here. Tigers of the Sundarbans for example
The human brain is a powerful weapon, not smart in a lot of cases but extremely switched on to predators.
Any apex predator that walks on land figures this out/knows this and stays away.
Cause it’s unnatural for the most part to them. Animals will hunt what they know is food. They can’t risk trying something they don’t know cause if they get injured it’s not like they can go to a hospital lol. Yeah they can easily over power us but still risk their eyes or nose (possible weapon on the person) getting damaged bad. Which is why most are really skiddish around humans
I’d say there’s plenty of factors, but humans being bipedal, almost furless/hairless, 6ft tall probably puts off most animals from attacking us. And we wear clothing that’s all sorts of colors. If animals are intelligent enough to pass on information to each other, they also probably have a communicated history of being killed by humans. We also just aren’t in the areas these apex predators are hunting, when we are I imagine they have no idea what we are, if we are dangerous or really even worth killing. I don’t think they is any the animal on the planet that behaves as we do, wears clothing like we do. Also our range of noises through language is massive and probably startling to hear from an animal’s perspective. One of the only animals that we know actively hunts humans are crocodiles. I believe it’s because they are so primitive they don’t care about these things I’ve listed. They see an animal going to the water, they see prey, nothing more nothing less. Anyway, is summary, I think it’s everything that makes us a unique species that makes other animals fear us as we are so different from any other.
I’ve watched all your videos and they’re all equally just as great as this one is. Top notch information and quality mini documentary and honestly A LOT better done then some of these big channels. You can really tell you just absolutely love whatever video it is your making which really pulls you in as a watcher. It’s refreshing to see someone get to geek out and talk about their favorite topics.
Thank you so much. Comments like this really motivate me to keep making videos. I really appreciate it :).
what a well produced documentary. I hope you are proud of this.
Absolutely stunning video. The narration, the scripting, the music, every single frame is a well thought out idea. The history of princely states, the colonial oppressors, the accounting of the mindless killers from the British Raj who managed to wipe out every large animal from their own homeland and were desperately trying to assert their dominance by hunting thousands upon thousands of wild life, including tigers, leopards, bears, Sambhar, Chittal , rhinos, elephants and many more in Indian jungles.
Why exactly the tigress was forced to become a man eater and how she was hunted is just a part of the video and is well documented by Jim himself. But the history, tiger data including the knowledge on species, geographical area, demography and anatomy and the message at the end how people around the world are desperate to save the tiger is remarkable. A well made video!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for your comment. I appreciate it.

Very well put together production I’m very impressed. As a fellow human being it is our duty to give back to the Bengal tiger are hunting ancestors have had there slaughtering fun and it’s only right that we are trying to help them.
Such a great video. I cried at the end hearing about all the people coming together to help.
This documentary was factual and put together well. I hope Tigers will survive all the humans in their habitat. The entire world needs Tigers to not only survive but to thrive! Thank you so much. Please continue to make these doc's.
Thank you very much
You are such a good story teller
Thank you so much!
Its quite impressive the cycle that followed the human greed and ignorance of poaching tigers, becoming the prey ourselves was impossibly difficult to deal with, which we hadnt noticd before since were usually the direct or indirect predators. Great video, enjoyed the facts and stories, thanks !
Thanks for your comment.
and at the end of the day, mother nature will find ways to give us a good old slap that will show us who is really in charge XD

Amazing video. Greetings from India, Bengal to be precise, where the term Bengal tiger originates. A small suggestion, kindly do one such video on the man eating leopard of Rudraprayag, another of Jim Corbett's famous kills. And if anyone reading this plans to visit India, try visiting The Jim Corbett National Park. You'll be amazed by the topography flora and fauna there. 🙏🏼😊
Thank you for your comment and recommendations. The leopard of Rudraprayag is also an interesting story, perhaps I'll make a video about it at some point. Thanks again!
there is a video on youtube about Jim Corbett's gun
I visited the park when i was a kid, and while riding on an elephant, a tiger jumped out of the bushes right next to us.
Fortunately the elephant got surprised too and started making a ruckus which caused the tiger to flee.
Also saw a black panther in that park. Jim Corbett national park is lit.

Great information shared in a story format with well edited visuals and narrated in a pleasant voice. Videos don't get much better than that. Thanks so much for sharing!
Wow, thank you!
Great documentary, very interesting to hear about Tigers and humans which were both hunted and killed.
Thank you.
The last story is so sad. That poor tiger and all the other tigers that have been slaughtered.
Absolutely amazing video! So well-written and narrated with perfect imagery for your story. Thank you :)
Thanks so much!
Loved the way you ended the video with such a positive message! More people need to do this. 👏
What humans have done (are doing) to nature is hard to hear, but it needs to be told.
If an animal could be close to pure perfection, it would be the Tiger
most cats are. And whether it's a lion, tiger, leopard or other, they always look like overgrown kitties, exactly the same movements and behaviour. Which makes it even sadder so many of them were murdered.
How did it take youtube this long to put this on my page?? What an amazing video, that ending sequence gave me some tears
Well done on an excellent presentation and story telling. I was engrossed in this from beginning to end
Glad to hear it!
humans are basically the worst animal in nature in terms of self defense right next to the sloth lol.. without our tools etc we are so soft. i think the only reason cavemen or humans in general didnt go extinct from predation is the fact we stayed in groups and actually probably tried to defend each other. it blows my mind when you see 1 stoat hunt down 1 rabbit while 30 other rabbits just sit there and watch lol, many animals do this.. dont even attempt to fight back together and just stand around for their turn to get eaten. great video
Sloths are stronger than one would think.
It’s due to the fact we’ve known how to use tools and brute strength as early humans as well as a brain much more complex than other animals, we didn’t need claws and teeth, we had rocks, sticks, and a brain smart enough to think about using them to kill animals
Humans are able to kill all the animals ,physically wild animals are stronger but humans are smarter so humans are the most dangerous animal.
we are the deadliest "animal" on this planet by far because we have a hudge brain.
@@trixdream exactly what I was thinking too.
Damn this was a good documentary. Thanks. 😢
RIP to those who were killed. The people &,the tigers.
What a amazing and touching story! Great work and it was very well told! Tyvm!

A very high-quality video. This video deserves so much more views than it has.
You captured my attention throughout the entire video. You are an amazing Storyteller sir. I absolutely loved this video and I also agree 100%. In my opinion you said the best quote I've ever heard "Humans are the most invasive species on the planet."
Very well done documentary on the tiger, thoroughly enjoyed.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
Ok I'm just going to say this is flat out awesome. I hope you claim due respect for this work eventually.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
This actually isn't my first hearing of the Champawat tiger. If you want another really good in-depth look into this story, read No Beast So Fierce, a book written by Dane Hucklebridge.
No Beast So Beautiful
I first read Corbett when I was about 11. The Man Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag, then I went on to read and re-read all his books many times over.
This was absolutely beautiful! Thank you
Thank you so much!
Very cool video! Great job story telling and editing. The quote at the end sells Humans short. We are the most magnificent creatures in the entire world and because of that we can protect the Amazing Tiger!! 😉
Very well made and informative video with a really good and heartwarming message at the end, honestly well done 👍👏
Thank you so much!
What an excellent video ! Though it pained me to hear the numbers of slaughtered tigers, as humans attempted to show their pointless dominance. This story can be repeated many times over - just insert different species. Humans are truly the most dangerous of all killers !
Buddy tigers are the dominant ones in India not us having a gun and a rifle doesn’t change that it just gives you an edge doesn’t make you dominant
@@mitchellneuhoff9946 the fact that the humans brought the Tiger to the brink of extinction is enough to call it dominance. Its not all about physical combat. Its also the intentional slaughter. The human prepares and intentionally tracks and hunts down the tiger from advantageous positions where the Tigers will never be able to see it coming.
@@mitchellneuhoff9946 what a dumb comment. The tigers barely have any land left to even live on. They are NOT the dominant species in India.
@@mitchellneuhoff9946 tigers (and animals in general) use any and all means at their disposal, which is basically just instinct meshed with experience and limited intelligence. Similarly humans will use whatever means they deem necessary for the task at hand, and human intelligence has developed superior means of destruction over time. Any resource is fair game here, the tiger certainly isn't holding back, an obligate killer it would use greater means to kill if it had the capability to develop its own technology, but it can't because that level of intelligence is inarguably human. That said, humanity is clearly dominant a thousand times over, but that doesn't imply that an inferior organism can't take out a superior one.
@Tango Downx2 We like to leave that part out
loved the video, I think someone else already said it but it really did feel like listening to an audio book, great stuff!
Awesome, thank you!
The way that you tell stories is so good and the music often makes it more relaxing to listen to. It’s relaxing and historical, not over done for shock value. That’s so appreciated in an internet that puts little effort into what ears hear. 👍💯
Thank you
Just found your channel yesterday and I'm hooked! Thank you for putting so much work into your videos and making them so engaging.
Awesome! Thank you!
At first I thought you’re drawing this out but you done good by then end!👌👍
Thank you so much 😀
Amazing narrations!
This contents doesn't get boring whatsoever keep it up man!
Thanks, will do!
My hometown was his home.. 🥰 it's "Kaladhungi" in "india". Here we now have his house but it has become a museum now .
This is a fascinating video. Thank you very much for your hard work and for spreading awareness!
A Big Thumbs Up from an erstwhile Wildlife Biologist from India. 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
One of the best ever documentaries I have watched. I love tiger, obsessed with tiger, big spirit. Thank you, lovely to watch and love your voice, hope to see more. : ) X
Wow, thank you!
Incredible and gripping story telling! Along with the needed message to the world… keep going good 👍
Whoa! I actually thought Elephants were basically immune, or maybe exempt, to most predator attacks.
When you mentioned that tigers may cooperate to take down an adult pachyderm I actually gasped. It's really no wonder that ancient humans began crafting weapons. Can you imagine a world filled with 10 or 15 other predatory species, just as lethal as tigers and your defence is....running and climbing faster than your cousin?
Take down an adult elephant???
Jaazuss!!! SMFH
GREAT VID, BROTHER👍😁❤️🇨🇦🍻

Thank you so much 😀. You are so kind!
A very good video indeed. Corbett wrote a number of fantastic books:
The Man-Eaters of Kumaon
The Temple Tiger and more Man-Eaters of Kumaon
The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag
My India
Jungle Lore.
All amazing and captivating books. Sometimes also a very scary read!
Thanks for the info!
There is also a book ABOUT Jim Corbett written by a family friend of his; it even has the picture of the Champawat Tigress’s taxidermied head in it.
And of course, there’s the much more recent No Beast So Fierce, which covers the issue of colonialism and its impact on tigers (including man-eaters) comprehensively.
@@bkjeong4302 do you know what its called? I'd be interested to try and find it.
One of the most beautiful of God's creations....Jim was a very honorable man....this was a fantastic video thank you for making this PERFECT 👍👍
Thank you very much.
