The part about the navy captain who took his life holding onto a toy sailor he treasured as a kid is legitimately one of the saddest things I've heard. 🥺
Yes. And another aspect of this tragedy was how forgotten it was. It is entirely possible that without the movie Jaws, his name might not have been cleared. Robert Shaw's portrayal of Quint left us with the idea that the sharks were the only reason men died, but it was memorable. I think entire generations would have forgotten this completely without that film (mine included). Without that portrayal as reminder, would enough people have heard of it to make the Navy reconsider?
If it makes you feel better had he not been court martialed he would have continued serving in the navy that kept all of Asia working in slave/sweat shops and ensured that the neither rose up nor traded the goods they made without paying a cut. Oh and the people who unfairly Court martialed him continued to be influential and highly regarded for the rest of their lives.
Describing sloth bears as having "all the tools of a predator but the mindset of prey" alone managed to simply yet succinctly put into words why they're a terrifying animal far more effectively than I could in the span of an entire paragraph.

The same thing happened in 2020. The captain of the USS Theodore Roosevelt reached out for help because half his ship got infected with the virus and didn't want his sailors to suffer. Because his request went public, the Navy removed him from the ship for pretty much embarrassing the Navy in front of the whole world
You ever hear something like that and youre whole body just feels like every nerve has come alive and your skin is buzzing uncomftably? Yeah, when he said that part it was like my stomach dropped and i had that feeling. I mean the enemy captain even said he couldnt have done anything. And those families sending hate mail and death threats? They suck too
Creepypasta is childs play and literally nothing compared to stories of monsters like the ones in the video that actually existed and actually did kill us and sow fear into the minds of men. Just that tigers roar in the video alone spooked the shit out of me more than any creepy pasta or horror movie ever could
@thedoomslayer5863 yeah how many ppl do creepypasta characters kill? 1? 3? 5? Still doesn't have much on lions killing a hundred + men and a group of sharks taking out hundreds of US sailors A single crocodile eating a hundred men? Wild. Dude is beyond any horror movie creation Don't even get me started on the bears
What’s more terrifying of Gustav’s story is that researchers observing him witness many times Female Crocodiles easily submitting to him the moment he rolls up. Which means he may very well have generations of offsprings.
The Man-Eater has a bigger story. The Royal Army attempted to hunt it down by using a broad sweep consisting of more than 400 men. Somehow the tiger managed to evade them and even looped behind their lines. A dissection after it was killed showed some unusual features. Several parts of its brain that were linked to pattern development and reasoning were much more developed than normal meaning it knew what it was doing and was learning new attack methods. Additionally its teeth and claws were much more worn down than they should have been which would have limited its hunting options. Finally its stomach was larger than normal which would have accounted for why was so prolific.
I had a teacher in elementary school who served in the army during Vietnam. He told us a story about an encounter with a tiger. They were patrolling through the jungle when the bushes rattled and a tiger ran right between the middle of the platoon. Didn’t kill or injure anyone directly but one of the soldiers suffered a major mental breakdown. He had to be sent back state side and was discharged. The tiger wasn’t trying to attack so they first thought it was running due to an imminent ambush but nothing happened after so they must have accidentally got too close and spooked it themselves.
I think the general stress of jungle patrols in the Vietnam War (constant fear of VC ambush, landmines, losing friends) would have been piling up anyway. The tiger was probably just the straw that broke the camel's back.
It's true. At this point we are keeping them safe and alive in zoos. It's really the only way to keep them from going extinct due to humans over hunting them for herbal medicines and such.
Yo...the story about Capt. McVay made tears well up in my eyes. The way, he was blamed, vilified, terrorized which ultimately led up to him taking his own life for something he didn't cause or couldn't fix is just wild...smh...I hate to he didn't get to experience his redemption. RIP Capt. I pray you found it🙏🏾 So true the true monsters were not the sharks. They looked like the Capt. the sharks were just being sharks
@@Rush47. I've been lifeing, whatever that is for 44 years or do you mean LIVING? Be quiet...instead of trying to check me you should have been checking the autocorrect. If you felt nothing then fine but who tf are you to dictate my feelings?
Ignore the other comment. You're right, it is very sad and quite honestly disgraceful. Nobody deserves what happened to him, nevermind someone who was a military leader who tried to help his crew and went through the hell of the ocean that he did.
The fact that a group of people who were his enemies were like "there is NOTHING he could have done" really says something about the unfairness of the situation.
Fun animal fact: Spiders have very large brains for their size, some spiders have brains that take up 80% of their body. Spider brains can also take on very interesting shapes, existing not only in the spiders head, but spilling into other body cavities and legs. These large brains are important for spiders for executing activities like web building or hunting.
As interesting as this is, I don't think I'll ever not be terrified of them. During a camping trip when I was maybe 4 years old, I put my hand in my jacket pocket. Something felt weird so I pulled my hand back out to look. There was a big black b@stard clamped onto my thumb. I screamed and shook it off. I can't be sure, but that might be why I'm so d@mn scared of them. I don't even like seeing the word typed out, which is why I avoided using it. Pathetic, I know lol Still a cool fact, though. Oh, and just for the record, I don't kill them. I make my husband or one of my kids trap them and put them outside.
@@katie7748 I respect the hell out of you. I adore spiders but my best friend was arachnophobic. It took me years to convince him to not just kill them on sight and let me relocate them. I know how difficult it can be. Well done.
@@katie7748 I woke up on the top bunk of my bunk bed just as this big spider was repelling down from the ceiling, right over my face. I rolled out of the top bunk like it was a normal bed, not sure how I made it over the rail so easily and that right there is the moment I blame lmao.
There was a Maneater here in Sweden in the 1800s called the Gysinge Wolf. It was a wolf that was raised in captivity in a small remote village and when it grew too big they released it into the wild. Since the wolf had never learned to hunt, it eventually set it sights on the village children since they were considered easy prey...resulting in the death of around 12 children i think. In one instance a little girl had to hide inside a chickencoup while she watched her baby brother get devoured by the wolf. They eventually caught and killed the wolf after a few weeks but this wolf was one of the reasons that made Sweden pretty much eradicate the wolf population here. I might have gotten some details wrong but look it up if you want to know more. A truly horrendous tale!
sounds like people failed the animal and it came back to bite them no pun intended so the country ignorantly killed off a species because people screwed up sounds about right humans can't do nothing wrong
That’s… dumb. Not the wolf killing the children but the fact that an animal that HUMANS RAISED have been simply left into the wild with no idea how to hunt and because of that incident that could’ve been avoided if people were a tad bit smarter they decided that EVERY WOLF must be eradicated. We truly are our greatest enemy, feel bad for the kids and the wolves that died from human stupidity
It has an wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_of_Gysinge It is not clear if the wolf, captured as a pup in 1817, was released or escaped on its own four years later.

@@sneakysasquatch6014 Yet it is the most human thing. I've yet to see other animals do that. Sure, there are battles/fights but I've never seen any other species go to war.
You are the David Attenborough of our generation. Netflix should fund a nature series with you voicing it. Thanks for carrying us through these crazy times.
@@Hugo-yz1vb ... and my mums gen. Attenborough should talk to this young man - keep the love of nature alive for the next gen. In case they don't believe these black force animals existed once.
If you make a part 2 of animal serial killers, add the story of the Japanese brown bear ' kesagake' that was 12ft tall who hunted and killed 7 people but the number was allegedly 12 in total. The story of the last seven victims is pretty gruesome and what the villagers / Japanese govt. did to try and stop him is pretty interesting
The worst part about the scapegoating of Captain McVay came out decades later: There were people much more directly responsible for the lack of response and enormous death toll who were known to the navy, but not punished in order to save face. From Wikipedia: "The vessel's failure to arrive on schedule was known at once to Gibson, who failed to investigate the matter and made no immediate report of the fact to his superiors." "Declassified records later showed that three stations received the signals but none acted upon the call. One commander was drunk, another had ordered his men not to disturb him, and a third thought it was a Japanese trap."
Hell, the Japanese captain who sank the ship - who **lost his family to the bomb that the ship delivered** - did more to help McVay than his own superiors. The scapegoating of McVay may have had something to do with the fact that his father had reprimanded a junior officer who, by WWII, was in command of the entire US Navy.
@@Cybermat47 Sounds about right, good people have little defense against higher ups who wanna save themselves or have a bone to pick. The military is filled with goosesteppers and people that let power control them. And before anyone says anything, I'm military.
My great Uncle was one of the few survivors of the Indianapolis, and only ever spoke of it once that I know of. I asked him why he didn't want to come to the lake (I was really little at a family reunion then) and all he ever said was that he held onto his best friend's hand as long as he could, and he was scared sh*tless of going back in there and never coming out. He refused to get in open water of any kind and would only take sponge baths sitting on a bucket in the bathtub with less than 8 inches of water.
Im sorry to hear about that man, my Grandfather was also a survivor of the USS Indianapolis' sinking. Wish I got to know him, because he died after my birth. He was there when I was born, but uh.. Yeah, I never saw him again other than in pictures.
That story was much more heart-wrenching than terrifying if I'm being honest. And its understandable that he wouldn't ever go into open water again. I wouldn't ever wish PTSD like that on anybody.
I remember hearing the story about Gustave , from what I remember it became a man eater cause of fights or wars that happened in Africa between 2 groups , whenever people got killed the dead bodies would get tossed into the river were the Crocs are and that's how the croc known as Gustave developed a taste for human flesh , that's when he started going after live people to eat
I think you're referring to the Rwandan genocide. Not sure if Gustave was living in Rwanda at that time, but crocs can travel far and maybe he moved after the genocide ended. Interesting theory. Also terrifying, because it implies that he would not have been the only one eating the bodies. 😨😱
@@audreydimmel6674i think there were other fights that happened way before the Rwandan genocide that happened , so I think he's been eating people way before that ......who knows maybe he's not the only biggest croc around over there , Gustave def was more in a sense popular cause they could recognize him by the scars that he has and supposedly he killed and ate 200 to 300 hundred people including the already dead people that he ate , so it might be way more people than estimated
“Generational trauma means you have an animal with the tools of a predator, but the mindset of prey.” A chillingly accurate description of most large primates, in fact.
@@kissit012 Chimps, bonobos, and humans are predators by nature, and tarsiers are fully carnivorous. Predators aren't inherently less peaceful than non-predators, either. Many herbivores are plenty willing to kill, and pretty much any animal will eat meat opportunistically.
@kissit012 Primates may be more opportunistic than outright predatory, but no one can deny that most of them have the tools of a predator due to their intelligence alone.

I am a Navy veteran. That one horrible miscarriage of Justice with Captain McVeigh actually fills me with shame for the disgusting scapegoating perpetrated on the captain. I actually feel a helpless rage when I come across this story. I remember vividly when I first came across the story and it was watching Jaws in the theater when I was about 16 years old.
Its crazy you type this, a comment just two above you says that the captain was done dirty, because even enemy commanders commented that nothing could be done, but people still blamed the captain. The dude got death threats apparently, when it doesnt seem to be his fault :/
@Acid_tongue _ And they refused to give him any escort destroyers to protect them in case of a sub attack, which was against Navy protocol, but they arrogantly shrugged him off as being paranoid. We foolishly just assumed the Japanese were defeated & had nothing left like they were gonna just lay down without a fight. Cpt. McVeigh knew they wouldn't & begged them to reconsider & when he turned out to be completely right they scapegoated him instead of having the balls to admit they were wrong.
@@a.u.t.057 when horrible things happen humans have a tendency to try to find a way to blame it all on someone so they can pretend is was avoidable so it won't be as scary. It leads to things like persecutions and inquisitions
The Captain of the USS Indianapolis is one of the stories from WW2 that hurts the most. When even an enemy commander says that there was nothing to be done, then blaming the captain was just petty foolishness. I sincerely hope that every person who sent him hate mail and death threats got what they deserved for causing a good man to break.
you should've mentioned the sankebetsu brown bear incident! during the period of time where hokkaido in japan was being explored and settled, there was one bear that absolutely terrorized one of the villages that cropped up. it kept coming back for five days, killed seven people, and it took several hunters and gunshot wounds to take it down.
My step-dads father was one of a few marines that were asked to switch ship assignments right before the USS Indianapolis took off and was sunk. I got to go to the premier of a documentary they released a while back, interviewing the remaining survivors to tell their story. It was harrowing. They said that there were so many sharks beneath them, that they could walk along their backs. The most horrific thing that's never really brought up was when the sailors were finally rescued, they were so waterlogged that their flesh would rip right off their arms when they were pulled into the ship. In addition to dehydration, salt poisoning, and exposure, most were covered in tar and oil from their ship, blinding a lot of men. Some of the men would simply give up, and sink beneath the waves to allow themselves to be eaten by sharks as well. Funny thing is that the captain of the Japanese submarine was actually officially made a member of the survivors group.
Fun fact: The second story about the sharks was featured in the movie Jaws as a story told by one of the protagonists, Quint, a character that had sailed on the Indianapolis. His account is nearly identical to the one CG tells.
@@TheLalacream I love the movie, i cant tell what part I loved the most but I do recal that baboon scene made me nearly soil my pants first time I watched it.
@@TheLalacream I remember that one. They didn't mention them being maneless, though. And the lions used certainly weren't maneless, which is likely why it's not mentioned.
For anyone interested, the story of the murderous lions was turned into a movie back in the 90s starring Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas called The Ghost and the Darkness. It's actually a really great movie.
This video unlocked a childhood memory of watching how it was filmed and what it was based off of and it very much solidified my respect/fear for wild animals
RIP to Cpt. McVeigh...a TRUE war hero & it fills me with anger & sadness our own scapegoated him knowing he did NOTHING wrong. He even warned them it was foolish to not have any destroyers escorting them in case of an attack & they shrugged him off as paranoid. It's sad the Japanese sub Cpt. that sank the Indianapolis had more honor & morality than the US Navy who knew they screwed up but didn't have the balls to admit it.
Exactly! When your own enemy admits that there was literally nothing that could’ve been done and they still get ignored you know the people calling these shots are truly evil
Many (not all, though) of those railway workers from India were indentured labors. The lives and experiences of these workers form a large body of absolutely fascinating literature in India. As a kid, I was introduced to Mombasa, the Black Mamba, and various aspects of east, central, and south-central African culture and wildlife through these writings. One novel in particular is very well known. It's called "The Moon Mountain": the story of one such railway worker whose journey starts in Mombasa, then takes him through a long and complex journey starting with the lion attacks you discuss in this video, all the way to South Africa. And yes, the protagonist gets to see Mount Kilimanjaro, the moon mountain. I have read that novel maybe ... 15 times ... and I will still read it when I get a chance, now that I am almost 40 years old.
The fact the sub commander testified and was ignored is the saddest part. Indianapolis was alone when it was detected, as the delivery mission was so secretive. The enemy absolved McVay, but someone had to go under the bus, right? Sad tale for a good man.
The Tsavo brothers, or as they are nicknamed "the Ghost and the Darkness", may have been a terrifying story. But they were tame housecats, compared to the lions of Njombe. 😬 Story goes that in the Njombe District in southern Tanzania, humans exterminated the natural prey of lions to protect livestock from the rinderpest virus. So a pride of lions started preying on people instead. Unlike the Tsavo brothers, the Njombe pride attacked mostly during the day, instead using nights to move up to 20 miles to the next unsuspecting village; even worse, the mothers passed down to their cubs how to hunt and eat humans. In the end, the region was terrorized by three generations of lions that, between 1932 and 1947, killed up to 1,500 (!) people.
And then we went on a killing spree like we always do, and made lions an endangered species in the 2000s, they're now at "Vulnerable" but their population is still decreasing.
I have been researching about Gustave for some time now but this is the first time that I've heard about Gustave using NordVPN. I've never considered that angle before. Thank you for this new information.
Out of all these stories, the Tsavo Maneaters are by far one of my favorites, and the film based around the story amplifies this statement. Because imagine being a worker working on this railroad before your back end meets a lion's jaws, that would be one of the most terrifying things to see before you end up getting past tensed.
Like he said, the true mosnters aren't the sharks here. They at least have a good reason to act like this, but not the families. Yes they're hurting, but so is the survivor. I bet you can shut them up if you let them imagine their lost children or family being put in his position. Survived a horrific event, gets probably ptsd and then on top of that years of harrassment and reminders to keep the ptsd fresh. I bet the shark attack felt long if put in their shoes, but the survivors being harassed probably felt like eternity
Now you know why church was invented. There's a old saying why fight your opponent with both hands. If your opponent ties his own behind his back.. Devil attacks the mind.. De fang de claw yourself.. I'll do whatever I want without risk..
He likely already blamed himself for everyone’s death already, he didn’t need America to tell him he was a murderer and a coward- he thought he was one too. I hope his family is ok:(
The first story is a movie called a ghost and the darkness. As a South African I can personally say up close lions awaken a primitive fear in people, no matter how experienced you are.
Got pretty close during a drive through the Kruger park in January. Now, they were largely sleeping, but the few times they yawned and I saw their teeth...
No shit. There's some fears BAKED into our brains from birth. Like the roar of a tiger. Millions of years taught us that sound meant death was coming. And many of us learned that lesson the hard way. Take the most macho man today (I said today because there was a time we hunted these hunters and competed with them and killed them back) and he would shit bricks at the sight of one even in a cage
I like that you added in the Americans. Because what those people did to him was worse than the sharks. At least the sharks made it quick. This was just long and drawn out. Awful.
I remember seeing a wiki page about The Wolves of Ashta, a pack of six, man eating wolves that killed around 17 children in Ashta, Madhya Pradesh in 1985. There were two adult males, one adult female, one subadult female and two pups. From what I remember on the page, all the wolves except the pups were killed and they couldn’t find any evidence as to why they started hunting humans.
Bruh Gustavo is like a horror villain or a mythological being the way he’s described. Almost like a story to keep children out of dangerous waters but he actually existed.
In a similar story with the horror monster being human (arguably) was Tarrare a French peasant who according to surviving autopsy reports after his death was basically a mutant (and not the X Man kind) his entire body was structured in such a way that it focused everything on the singular purpose of eating, with extremely enlarged Stomach, Intestines, Throat and Mouth. He was said to have such a large sagging mouth that he could fit a dozen eggs in his mouth with no issues, and could eat a quarter of a cow by himself as a 13 year old kid, you’d think he’d be fat but he was actually only 100 pounds as an adult because his body processed and burned through the food inhumanly fast that when he wasn’t fat on food he had large stretched out flaps of skin. He was kicked out because his family were poor peasants and his parents could not afford to feed him. He would resort to eating trash and becoming a street performer just to sate his unending hunger. Even this wasn’t enough because he eventually found himself in the care of doctors wanting to see what was wrong with this bottomless pit of a man who was never not hungry. The list of things he ate was a full course meal meant for 12 all on his own, a living real that he ate whole, a cat that he snapped in half, drank it’s blood, ate whole and later coughed up its hair like an owl, and (all this food not being enough) he would regularly sneak out to drink blood from patients, nearly eat cadavers, eat trash and a 4 month old baby. I may not be a doctor but they these people were looking over a demon.
There are theories in historical circles about how leviathan from the Bible was likely a saltwater crocodile, just like the “dragon” St. George fought in his tale was likely a Nike monitor.
This video unlocked a primal fear I've never felt before, that maybe my ancestors haven't felt in centuries. We tell so many horror stories about the supernatural that sometimes it's easy to forget how absolutely terrifying real animals can be.
I went on a school sponsored trip to Northern india. It was a part of our AP history class. We were taking a tour of a farm on the outskirts of the city and as I came around a corner in one of the animal pens a tiger slapped me on the chest. I walked away but needed quite a few stitches, the farmer simply told us to ignore it until it chose to leave. When it did, a group of cubs were with it. I never respected gentle warnings more in my life.

One of my favorite moments in film ever is in Jaws where Quint recounts the USS Indianapolis, it's an utterly chilling moment of realism in that movie. Even the actors themselves were just captivated by the monologue
“Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side, Chief. We was comin’ back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We’d just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn’t see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin’ from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn’t know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin’ by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and sometimes that shark he go away… but sometimes he wouldn’t go away. *Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those sharks come in and… they rip you to pieces.* You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don’t know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin’, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson’s mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he’d been bitten in half below the waist. At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol’ fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.”
This video certainly was different. He stopped using his usual censors like "chalk outline" "unalive" and "statistic" for the most part. The whole thing has a completely different atmosphere from anything else that's been made on this channel, and I love it.
He did say "Took (x number) of people off the census" which of course is a euphemism we understand the meaning of. But other than that, he was incredibly respectful of the fact that the families of the deceased and who endured these terrors are very much alive and traumatized by what happened- and he was being very empathetic to that fact while creating this video. :)
@The Owl Yo, if you want to promote someone's channel then be up front about it. Don't tell people "Hey, click this link to see something scary" if it's just some food channel.
Gustave and the Tsavo Lions were probably the most terrifying of them all. One of the lions was shot several times at close range with a rifle and even as it was in it's death throes it STILL tried to kill the guy who shot it. Gustave has a kill count of allegedly 300 plus and is borderline unkillable given the scars on his body indicate that people have tried and failed. Unlike most of these animals listed, Gustave *might still be out there*
It's reported that, while unlikely, Gustave may have survived a blast from a rocket launcher that barely missed him. He's surprisingly durable. His skin had gotten so thick that the only widely available gun in that area (an ak-47) wouldn't even pierce his hide. The only effective way to get Gustave to get away wa to drop a live grenade in the water, which shows just how intelligent this reptile is.
Allow me to make the hyena slightly more terrifying, unlike in humans, hyenas have a relatively low mortality from rabies meaning it didn't necessarily die, it might have just recovered from the disease and kept living its life
@@spingus_bingus987 yeah, no. There's tough, and then there's 'take a weapon that rips apart tanks' fantasy. Regardless of surviving a close impact (which he likely wouldn't), there would be the countless sharpnel that would imbed and infect him, which is lethal in the wild. Additionally, his size would make it pretty hard to miss him, so the whole 'he could still be out there' thing is bogus.
@@blake3631 the whole "he could still be out there" thing isnt bogus, yes the rpg would've killed him, but how do we know someone even shot him with an rpg?, the real question should be "how the hell did he get that big" because normal crocodiles DONT get that big, oh and also most crocodiles are pretty much immune to diseases.
Bro I'd never want you to stop making your usual vids or change your brand or anything, but this one makes me hope you occasionally put out specials like this now and then. You sound like a totally different person with that somber tone, and I'd love to see you expand your craft over time. Awesome vid, cheers!

There's a Russian woman who managed to call her mom to say goodbye while being eaten alive by a bear. The audio logs were saved. If you have the stomach... it's a horrifying experience.
All your videos are great but this one has to be one of your best. Atmospheric, unsettling editing without going into cheap jumpscares or being tasteless towards the victims nor the animals themselves. And educational as always. Thank you so much for your work.

The story of the man-eating lions of Tsavo is probably the scariest story I’ve ever heard. I think what makes the story so scary is that it taps into the primal fear of man.
If you haven't read John Patterson's "The Man-eaters of Tsavo" I highly recommend it. At the beginning of the film Ghost and the Darkness it says "even the most unbelievable parts of this story are true.". Well, it's more like "ONLY the most incredible parts are true." Patterson recounts it in such a matter-of-fact way, but the horror of the incident is not diminished.
I think whats scarier was the companies disregard for han life. No one helped them and those poor men suffered alone. No creature is scarier than a human.
@@alansalgado2740 it's my favourite film I got put voted to name either of our leonbergers tsavo. My son was all for watching it until told him it's a true story and happened then got a big nope from him
Yeah, he is very slick at his ad delivery which aren’t boring or torturous and are over as fast as it begins and quickly gets us back to the good stuff.
the story of the salt water croc island always gives me chills. I can't even imagine the terror of wandering into such a place, let alone surviving long enough to make it out. One tale of an animal serial killer that I also find terrifying is that of a Japanese bear around the turn of the 20th century I believe. A string of attacks that resulted in Japanese bears being intentionally extinct'd just to prevent a repeat ever being possible. As usual, it was largely due to declining habitat and too many humans. It's been a while and I'm probably forgetting details, but I think it happened during the winter, when the bear should've been hibernating already, making its motive all the more likely to be lack of food and places to sleep without human interference. It attacked a number of households on village outskirts, and most of its victims were children. The part that haunts me is one mother who was fleeing with her baby in one of those slings that keep them on your back. It caught up to her, pinned her down, and her baby became an unintended meat shield that the bear devoured before leaving. The mother survived, but I can't imagine being alive on the inside after an experience like that. So Japan rallied together and wiped out every last bear in the country. I can't say I would've tried to stop them. As horrible as it is, a small country like that, already so densely populated.. it wouldn't have been the last incident. And slowly dying out from starvation and habitat loss was the only other option for the bears, as had already happened to Japanese wolves long ago. No one wins.
Locally extincted, because there are bears still in Japan: brown bears on Hokkaido and black bears on the rest of the Japanese islands. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ussuri_brown_bear#Attacks_on_humans en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_black_bear#Attacks_on_humans
Japan didn't exterminated all the bears. When bears wander too close to settlements and causing casualties, hunters are dispatched to put them down. This year a bear named OSO18(18inch-paw) terrorized Hokkaido ranches.

I remember learning about Gustav in high school. Allegedly, he survived a rocket launcher blast. I still think he's the most badass creature to ever walk this earth.
I believe a human life is the most valuable and important one out of the entirety of the animals kingdom, that being said an crocodile that is hard core enough to hunt hippos is a true wonder of nature
“Fun fact?”, Jaws was the first movie To bring the USS Indianapolis incident to the public, in fact, a crew member skipped out on a party celebrating the films release and success, cause he discovered one of his sons had been killed by a Shark during the incident.
This is a fact of WW2 ship sinkings thats not really talked about much is all the people who got ate by sharks floating in the waters hoping for rescue.
"In Harm's Way: The Sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the Extraordinary Story of Its Survivors" is an amazing book for any military historian fans out there. Love this channel. Very entertaining.
“Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side, Chief. We was comin’ back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We’d just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb.

The first story about the lions was made in a movie, The Ghost and The Darkness, and I was on the edge of my seat during the whole run time. I can’t imagine the fear and anxiety that those poor men felt as workers died in droves, and wondered who would survive the night.
I remember my parents making my sister and I watch that movie as kids. To this day I have never finished it, and it's probably the reason I stay far away from the horror genre.
The Tsavo lions also got a really good movie adaption called "The Ghost and the Darkness", starring Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas. It's a great 90s flick that really captures how scary it must have been for those being hunted by these two lions and gives them even a mysterious, unnatural aura.
Loved this too as a kid but honestly had no idea it was a true story. Pretty damn amazed to have learned this and will probably go watch it again tonight
I'm glad the story of the Japanese encountering man-eating crocodiles was brought up. It was one of the most interesting (if not horrifying) stories I've heard in all my time studying WWII
@@virgilfranken873 is it not just the *number* that’s been debunked? Like most Japanese soldiers weren’t eaten alive by crocodiles (as opposed to what was originally rumored with only 20 surviving) but I thought it wasn’t entirely ruled out that *some* may have been eaten by crocs.
Wish you talked more about the rabid hyena. Because the hyena attack happened in the village like clockwork every 40 years or so... with frightening consistency of it being a rabid hyena, and the same season. It was why it scared 4,000 people to move away from the village.
It happened other years? Then it wasn't a rabid hyena. Rabies kills the animal short after the agressive behaviour starts showing. If that hyena really existed in the first place it died within the same year (even being generous) of the first attack
@@Killmewithfire If it was 40 years apart, it most definitely wasn't the same hyena. But each time the hyena attacked, it acted rabid. No idea if they ever caught or killed any of them. 40 years is too long for nearly any wild animal to be the same. The peculiarity is that it kept happening over and over in the same village.
I love the fact that I knew about more than half of these animals beforehand. I am fascinated by animals who decided human are in fact no longer on the top of the food chain. However, I had not heard about the rabid hyena, would love to learn more about those incidents. Great video as always Casual Geographic.
Although it might be because of a lack of info on the story (and if it is, then it's not Casual's fault), but I would've wanted to hear a bit more about that rabid hyena story. It felt a tad short compared to all the other stories.
The first story about the lions were made into a movie called "Ghost and the Darkness". It is very good and watching it for the first time sends shivers down your spine. It was a great movie and I watched it a few times with my dad. I think the tale with the sharks was mentioned by an actor in "Jaws" and they kept it in the movie. You can actually see the interest and shock the other actor felt when he told this story. Also there is a movie called Primevil (or Die Fährte des Grauens in german). It is about the Gustave Crocodile from Africa. Have seen all of those movies and can recommend all of them. Don't know if you knew about them but I guess I leave them here for people to watch if interested. I learned so much from you and your content. Just wanna say that I appreciate it that you put so much work and effort into every single video. A lot of content creators don't do that nowadays.
@leaked footage Yo, if you want to promote someone's channel then be up front about it. Don't tell people "Hey, click this link to see something scary" if it's just some food channel.
The story of the Indianapolis is told by the character Quint in the movie Jaws. However, the actor himself (Robert Shaw) nor any of the actual survivors, wrote that monologue. Credit to Shaw's acting that when watching the viewer can really believe he's talking about something that happened to him personally.
The problem with prime evil is they tried really hard to market it as one of those real life supernatural slasher movies instead of man vs nature. I remember seeing the commercials on the sci fi channel showing the mass grave scene, and going on about the worlds most prolific cereal killer was still at large.
Seeing the two lions at the museum as a kid gave me chills and my grandma playing the movie over and over before me seeing them did not help😅😅😅. RIP to all who lost there lives to those two man eaters. It’s weird cause of course they didn’t look big cause they’re stuffed and dead so I was confused how these skinny lions would deal so much damage till I realized hell they were alive they where probably giant and then seeing the pictures it finally clicked.
One thing I found out is that they weren't properly treated when stuffed, because of that they actually shrank over time and are now smaller than what they use to be.
@@deucethomas3652 You're welcome 🤗. If you want to know more you should check out Bob Gymlan's video where he goes full in-depth about the whole story. That's where I learned about the skin shrinking. It's really interesting and he's a good story teller. It's called The FULL story of the Man-Eating Lions of Tsavo.
I got to see one of them at the Smithsonian, and while he was scrawny remember noticing his paws were massive enough I got a pretty good idea of how much damage he could do.
Great vid, you make me interested in nature videos again. My grandparents used to watch a lot of the old PBS nature shows and I remembered watching with them. Brings back good memories.

@@Snowstar837 Texas is... Texas. Gotta be different. They breed big cats there, and some are putting in the effort to try keeping the remaining bloodlines strong.
That last black and white picture of the man with the tiger wasn't the man eater of champawat, it was the bachelor of powalgarh, (who wasn't a man eater but was really big, which is why people were trying to get him as a trophy.) They were both killed by the same person, Jim Corbett. There's an old book he wrote on all the different man eating tigers he hunted called 'Man-Eaters of Kumaon', its a super interesting read, definitely recommend it.
The first story was turned into a movie titled "The Ghost and the Darkness" staring Val Kilmer. It is actually a very intense movie and the lions of that area were not only bigger than other parts of Africa, but also lacked manes so the usual lion traps had little effect. Of all the examples here, I had heard of I think four of them before tonight.
I'm sad that more people don't know about it - it's one of my favourite movies. I got punched in the gut with how old I am when I told a coworker it came out in 1996 and she said "aw, that's the year I was born!"
This is an amazing movie. I didn't realize it was based on a true story. The scariest part is how accurate it was adapted. I had no idea some of the more crazy parts of that movie actually happened!
@@cosmicturban2797 You’d be amazed at how inaccurate it is. First and foremost the hunter, played by Michael Douglas, didn’t exist. It was only John Patterson. The scene, where Patterson was discussing the number of people killed to the railroad owner, was wrong. Patterson, in the first edition of the book he wrote of the incident, stated 35 workers died not the 40s and higher the movie states. The higher number that was attributed much later, was reporting about 100 villagers were killed, not railroad workers. Subsequent studies of the skeletons and fur of the lions downgraded that number back down to 35 with the lion with the root tip abscess being blamed for at least 25 of the humans being killed.
@@jpbaley2016 I like to tell people that when they say in the beginning "even the most unbelievable parts of this story are true" they mean ONLY the most unbelievable parts are true!
I actually read about the shark attack in a CHILDREN’S book as a kid. It described it in horrific detail, but it’s the details that keep you reading about it. I had nightmares for days. My sister also told me about the Lion attack when I was little. It kind of explains why I can’t sleep without white noise anymore. Silence just unnerves me now.
That sounds like a fked up book if it was for children. Kids don't need to be exposed to the harshness of reality that soon especially not in descriptive detail. I wonder what the motive was for publishing that book.
@@Totalinternalreflection The original Grimm fairy tales were for children and the unsanitized not for Disney version were VERY dark. Such tales were once meant to teach children correct morals for growing into adulthood.
@@Totalinternalreflection It was a fact book about sharks, but you could tell by the font and how short the paragraphs were that it was meant for kids, so they probably just threw that in there. I don’t know how it got in there either
My grandfather was a part of that crew of the ship that was sunken. He never talked about it with us kids. I only know stories from my dad from childhood.
What's even more scary about tigers is that, when you see them note that they've been watching you for the last 30 minutes, I saw this one video with a guy in an elephant's back and as they were going through what looks to be a rice field, you hear the tiger roar, and the thing is, you don't see it until it literally leaped of the grass and over the elephant and almost taking off one of the guys hands with one quick swipe, like it ran through the bushes but you couldn't see or hear it, only it's roar, it's fur might look like one of the worst camouflage but it's actually one of the best
For us is visible, but for many animals, that orange that makes it stand out for us, is completely green. This means that, for many animals tigers hunt... They are like ghosts before they strike, that perspective is simply horrifying
Gustav is like those old Chinese folklores of an ancient tiger with human intelligence living on cursed grounds (usually a mountain) and preying on innocent souls. They are told to be the reincarnated spirits of long deceased, but once malevolent and feared warriors, given the ultimate form for them to continue their reign at the top of the food chain. Their rage never-ending, their bloodlust always hungering them, they exist for nothing else but to see living beings breathe their last breath of air at their feet.
@@azuroslazuli6948 yeah but that’s different from the stories. The murder tigers slaughtered their victims out of pure need, Gustav did it just because he could.
People really underestimate how intelligent animals can be. I saw an article on Gustavo showing that there was an actual bounty put out on him, it was supposed to be $90,000 or something like that to whoever could kill Gustavo. Unfortunately we don't need to be told how that went. Also I would like to point out that we don't even know the limit to a crocodiles age. The life expectancy of a crocodile is supposed to be 20 years but there are Crocs that have been around since Eisenhower was in office and most of them are still alive to this very day. I don't remember the name of one of them but I do know it was from one of the Koreas

The part about the navy captain who took his life holding onto a toy sailor he treasured as a kid is legitimately one of the saddest things I've heard. 🥺
I started crying
Yes. And another aspect of this tragedy was how forgotten it was. It is entirely possible that without the movie Jaws, his name might not have been cleared. Robert Shaw's portrayal of Quint left us with the idea that the sharks were the only reason men died, but it was memorable. I think entire generations would have forgotten this completely without that film (mine included).
Without that portrayal as reminder, would enough people have heard of it to make the Navy reconsider?
If you want to hear more abt the story, Wendigoon made a great video on the US Indianapolis
If it makes you feel better had he not been court martialed he would have continued serving in the navy that kept all of Asia working in slave/sweat shops and ensured that the neither rose up nor traded the goods they made without paying a cut.
Oh and the people who unfairly Court martialed him continued to be influential and highly regarded for the rest of their lives.

@@highcountrydelatite Where was this??
The same thing happened in 2020. The captain of the USS Theodore Roosevelt reached out for help because half his ship got infected with the virus and didn't want his sailors to suffer. Because his request went public, the Navy removed him from the ship for pretty much embarrassing the Navy in front of the whole world

Hello sire
Those fuckers can snap the leg bone of a giraffe.
The Man-Eater has a bigger story. The Royal Army attempted to hunt it down by using a broad sweep consisting of more than 400 men. Somehow the tiger managed to evade them and even looped behind their lines. A dissection after it was killed showed some unusual features. Several parts of its brain that were linked to pattern development and reasoning were much more developed than normal meaning it knew what it was doing and was learning new attack methods. Additionally its teeth and claws were much more worn down than they should have been which would have limited its hunting options. Finally its stomach was larger than normal which would have accounted for why was so prolific.
Sounds like that big boi was a bit smarter than it's peers

So that tiger is actually a abnormally tiger 🐅
None of this is true. I was there.
I had a teacher in elementary school who served in the army during Vietnam. He told us a story about an encounter with a tiger. They were patrolling through the jungle when the bushes rattled and a tiger ran right between the middle of the platoon. Didn’t kill or injure anyone directly but one of the soldiers suffered a major mental breakdown. He had to be sent back state side and was discharged. The tiger wasn’t trying to attack so they first thought it was running due to an imminent ambush but nothing happened after so they must have accidentally got too close and spooked it themselves.
I think the general stress of jungle patrols in the Vietnam War (constant fear of VC ambush, landmines, losing friends) would have been piling up anyway. The tiger was probably just the straw that broke the camel's back.

Fun animal fact: Spiders have very large brains for their size, some spiders have brains that take up 80% of their body. Spider brains can also take on very interesting shapes, existing not only in the spiders head, but spilling into other body cavities and legs. These large brains are important for spiders for executing activities like web building or hunting.
there's a fact about one of my favourite creatures i didn't know about.
As interesting as this is, I don't think I'll ever not be terrified of them. During a camping trip when I was maybe 4 years old, I put my hand in my jacket pocket. Something felt weird so I pulled my hand back out to look. There was a big black b@stard clamped onto my thumb. I screamed and shook it off.

There was a Maneater here in Sweden in the 1800s called the Gysinge Wolf. It was a wolf that was raised in captivity in a small remote village and when it grew too big they released it into the wild. Since the wolf had never learned to hunt, it eventually set it sights on the village children since they were considered easy prey...resulting in the death of around 12 children i think. In one instance a little girl had to hide inside a chickencoup while she watched her baby brother get devoured by the wolf. They eventually caught and killed the wolf after a few weeks but this wolf was one of the reasons that made Sweden pretty much eradicate the wolf population here. I might have gotten some details wrong but look it up if you want to know more. A truly horrendous tale!
sounds like people failed the animal and it came back to bite them no pun intended so the country ignorantly killed off a species because people screwed up sounds about right humans can't do nothing wrong
@@AD_Ministry Indeed, i dont blame the wolf at all. The whole story is just a tragic tale about what happens when you mess with wild things...
That’s… dumb. Not the wolf killing the children but the fact that an animal that HUMANS RAISED have been simply left into the wild with no idea how to hunt and because of that incident that could’ve been avoided if people were a tad bit smarter they decided that EVERY WOLF must be eradicated. We truly are our greatest enemy, feel bad for the kids and the wolves that died from human stupidity
It has an wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_of_Gysinge
It is not clear if the wolf, captured as a pup in 1817, was released or escaped on its own four years later.
And as usual, it was from the hands of human influence to begin with.
when he actually puts a warning on his videos that’s when you know it’s about to get wild

Wild like you 😄
That’s when the geographic stops being casual

The worst part about the scapegoating of Captain McVay came out decades later: There were people much more directly responsible for the lack of response and enormous death toll who were known to the navy, but not punished in order to save face. From Wikipedia:
"The vessel's failure to arrive on schedule was known at once to Gibson, who failed to investigate the matter and made no immediate report of the fact to his superiors."
"Declassified records later showed that three stations received the signals but none acted upon the call. One commander was drunk, another had ordered his men not to disturb him, and a third thought it was a Japanese trap."
Hell, the Japanese captain who sank the ship - who **lost his family to the bomb that the ship delivered** - did more to help McVay than his own superiors.
The scapegoating of McVay may have had something to do with the fact that his father had reprimanded a junior officer who, by WWII, was in command of the entire US Navy.

My great Uncle was one of the few survivors of the Indianapolis, and only ever spoke of it once that I know of. I asked him why he didn't want to come to the lake (I was really little at a family reunion then) and all he ever said was that he held onto his best friend's hand as long as he could, and he was scared sh*tless of going back in there and never coming out. He refused to get in open water of any kind and would only take sponge baths sitting on a bucket in the bathtub with less than 8 inches of water.
Im sorry to hear about that man, my Grandfather was also a survivor of the USS Indianapolis' sinking. Wish I got to know him, because he died after my birth. He was there when I was born, but uh.. Yeah, I never saw him again other than in pictures.
Some phobias are understandable.
true PTSD in its strongest form
Shoooo man. Your uncle And his friend. Man that's just idk. Gruesome..
That story was much more heart-wrenching than terrifying if I'm being honest. And its understandable that he wouldn't ever go into open water again. I wouldn't ever wish PTSD like that on anybody.
I remember hearing the story about Gustave , from what I remember it became a man eater cause of fights or wars that happened in Africa between 2 groups , whenever people got killed the dead bodies would get tossed into the river were the Crocs are and that's how the croc known as Gustave developed a taste for human flesh , that's when he started going after live people to eat
I think you're referring to the Rwandan genocide. Not sure if Gustave was living in Rwanda at that time, but crocs can travel far and maybe he moved after the genocide ended. Interesting theory. Also terrifying, because it implies that he would not have been the only one eating the bodies. 😨😱
@@audreydimmel6674i think there were other fights that happened way before the Rwandan genocide that happened , so I think he's been eating people way before that ......who knows maybe he's not the only biggest croc around over there , Gustave def was more in a sense popular cause they could recognize him by the scars that he has and supposedly he killed and ate 200 to 300 hundred people including the already dead people that he ate , so it might be way more people than estimated
@@audreydimmel6674 Maybe Gustave didn't just have NordVPN. But also a travel visa. He is nothing if not resourceful.
“Generational trauma means you have an animal with the tools of a predator, but the mindset of prey.”
A chillingly accurate description of most large primates, in fact.
Primates are not predators by nature. Most truly powerful animals are peaceful creatures unprovoked
@@kissit012 Chimps, bonobos, and humans are predators by nature, and tarsiers are fully carnivorous. Predators aren't inherently less peaceful than non-predators, either. Many herbivores are plenty willing to kill, and pretty much any animal will eat meat opportunistically.
@kissit012
Primates may be more opportunistic than outright predatory, but no one can deny that most of them have the tools of a predator due to their intelligence alone.
And then we have a hairless ape that has physically evolved into a prey, but has the mindset of a predator (yes I'm talking about humans)

I am a Navy veteran. That one horrible miscarriage of Justice with Captain McVeigh actually fills me with shame for the disgusting scapegoating perpetrated on the captain. I actually feel a helpless rage when I come across this story. I remember vividly when I first came across the story and it was watching Jaws in the theater when I was about 16 years old.
Its crazy you type this, a comment just two above you says that the captain was done dirty, because even enemy commanders commented that nothing could be done, but people still blamed the captain. The dude got death threats apparently, when it doesnt seem to be his fault :/

@@acid_tongue_4315 I mean what hell could he have done, his ship was hit and sinking in shark infested waters.
@Acid_tongue _ And they refused to give him any escort destroyers to protect them in case of a sub attack, which was against Navy protocol, but they arrogantly shrugged him off as being paranoid. We foolishly just assumed the Japanese were defeated & had nothing left like they were gonna just lay down without a fight. Cpt. McVeigh knew they wouldn't & begged them to reconsider & when he turned out to be completely right they scapegoated him instead of having the balls to admit they were wrong.
@@a.u.t.057 when horrible things happen humans have a tendency to try to find a way to blame it all on someone so they can pretend is was avoidable so it won't be as scary. It leads to things like persecutions and inquisitions
The Captain of the USS Indianapolis is one of the stories from WW2 that hurts the most. When even an enemy commander says that there was nothing to be done, then blaming the captain was just petty foolishness.
I sincerely hope that every person who sent him hate mail and death threats got what they deserved for causing a good man to break.
The mission was so top secret that no-one realized the ship had gone missing. The survivors were found by coincidence by a scout plane.
The people sending him hate mails and death threats were most likely relatives of the dead sailors. They probably didn't know he was screwed over.
I've been in the Marine Corps for several years and it happens more than you think. It's honestly disgusting how political it gets.
@@lekhaclam87 That doesnt make it any better lashing out because of grief is just sad and pathetic
@@Justalilcyn I was not justifying their action, just pointed out where the hatred most likely came from.
you should've mentioned the sankebetsu brown bear incident! during the period of time where hokkaido in japan was being explored and settled, there was one bear that absolutely terrorized one of the villages that cropped up. it kept coming back for five days, killed seven people, and it took several hunters and gunshot wounds to take it down.
My step-dads father was one of a few marines that were asked to switch ship assignments right before the USS Indianapolis took off and was sunk. I got to go to the premier of a documentary they released a while back, interviewing the remaining survivors to tell their story. It was harrowing. They said that there were so many sharks beneath them, that they could walk along their backs. The most horrific thing that's never really brought up was when the sailors were finally rescued, they were so waterlogged that their flesh would rip right off their arms when they were pulled into the ship.
In addition to dehydration, salt poisoning, and exposure, most were covered in tar and oil from their ship, blinding a lot of men.
Some of the men would simply give up, and sink beneath the waves to allow themselves to be eaten by sharks as well.
Funny thing is that the captain of the Japanese submarine was actually officially made a member of the survivors group.
Holy crap. Im imagining it and its not a good sight.
Damn
Man what kind of life can one expect to live after survivng something like that. Death would be better.
Dang dude 👀
Makes it all the more disgraceful how the captain was treated after everything that happened.
Fun fact: The second story about the sharks was featured in the movie Jaws as a story told by one of the protagonists, Quint, a character that had sailed on the Indianapolis. His account is nearly identical to the one CG tells.
And the first story got a whole movie adaptation (the ghost and the darkness)

RIP to Cpt. McVeigh...a TRUE war hero & it fills me with anger & sadness our own scapegoated him knowing he did NOTHING wrong. He even warned them it was foolish to not have any destroyers escorting them in case of an attack & they shrugged him off as paranoid. It's sad the Japanese sub Cpt. that sank the Indianapolis had more honor & morality than the US Navy who knew they screwed up but didn't have the balls to admit it.
Agreed!

Many (not all, though) of those railway workers from India were indentured labors. The lives and experiences of these workers form a large body of absolutely fascinating literature in India. As a kid, I was introduced to Mombasa, the Black Mamba, and various aspects of east, central, and south-central African culture and wildlife through these writings. One novel in particular is very well known. It's called "The Moon Mountain": the story of one such railway worker whose journey starts in Mombasa, then takes him through a long and complex journey starting with the lion attacks you discuss in this video, all the way to South Africa. And yes, the protagonist gets to see Mount Kilimanjaro, the moon mountain. I have read that novel maybe ... 15 times ... and I will still read it when I get a chance, now that I am almost 40 years old.

The fact the sub commander testified and was ignored is the saddest part. Indianapolis was alone when it was detected, as the delivery mission was so secretive. The enemy absolved McVay, but someone had to go under the bus, right? Sad tale for a good man.
It’s so weird to see you so serious, I’m honestly impressed at the fact you’re able to be so entertaining no matter the tone.
The Tsavo brothers, or as they are nicknamed "the Ghost and the Darkness", may have been a terrifying story. But they were tame housecats, compared to the lions of Njombe. 😬
Story goes that in the Njombe District in southern Tanzania, humans exterminated the natural prey of lions to protect livestock from the rinderpest virus. So a pride of lions started preying on people instead. Unlike the Tsavo brothers, the Njombe pride attacked mostly during the day, instead using nights to move up to 20 miles to the next unsuspecting village; even worse, the mothers passed down to their cubs how to hunt and eat humans. In the end, the region was terrorized by three generations of lions that, between 1932 and 1947, killed up to 1,500 (!) people.
The Lions of Njombe sound terrifying, just wish I could read about it instead of a watching movie.
See, that's why you BEFRIEND the lions! Then they only eat a FEW of you! Mostly the weak ones you don't need anyway... >:3
😬
And then we went on a killing spree like we always do, and made lions an endangered species in the 2000s, they're now at "Vulnerable" but their population is still decreasing.
And this folks is why we should care about what we do to our environment, the lions don't eat you if they don't have to!

Like he said, the true mosnters aren't the sharks here. They at least have a good reason to act like this, but not the families. Yes they're hurting, but so is the survivor. I bet you can shut them up if you let them imagine their lost children or family being put in his position.

I remember seeing a wiki page about The Wolves of Ashta, a pack of six, man eating wolves that killed around 17 children in Ashta, Madhya Pradesh in 1985. There were two adult males, one adult female, one subadult female and two pups. From what I remember on the page, all the wolves except the pups were killed and they couldn’t find any evidence as to why they started hunting humans.
Bruh Gustavo is like a horror villain or a mythological being the way he’s described. Almost like a story to keep children out of dangerous waters but he actually existed.
In a similar story with the horror monster being human (arguably) was Tarrare a French peasant who according to surviving autopsy reports after his death was basically a mutant (and not the X Man kind) his entire body was structured in such a way that it focused everything on the singular purpose of eating, with extremely enlarged Stomach, Intestines, Throat and Mouth. He was said to have such a large sagging mouth that he could fit a dozen eggs in his mouth with no issues, and could eat a quarter of a cow by himself as a 13 year old kid, you’d think he’d be fat but he was actually only 100 pounds as an adult because his body processed and burned through the food inhumanly fast that when he wasn’t fat on food he had large stretched out flaps of skin. He was kicked out because his family were poor peasants and his parents could not afford to feed him. He would resort to eating trash and becoming a street performer just to sate his unending hunger. Even this wasn’t enough because he eventually found himself in the care of doctors wanting to see what was wrong with this bottomless pit of a man who was never not hungry. The list of things he ate was a full course meal meant for 12 all on his own, a living real that he ate whole, a cat that he snapped in half, drank it’s blood, ate whole and later coughed up its hair like an owl, and (all this food not being enough) he would regularly sneak out to drink blood from patients, nearly eat cadavers, eat trash and a 4 month old baby. I may not be a doctor but they these people were looking over a demon.

One of my favorite moments in film ever is in Jaws where Quint recounts the USS Indianapolis, it's an utterly chilling moment of realism in that movie. Even the actors themselves were just captivated by the monologue
“Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side, Chief. We was comin’ back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We’d just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes.
Didn’t see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin’ from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn’t know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin’ by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and sometimes that shark he go away… but sometimes he wouldn’t go away.
*Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those sharks come in and… they rip you to pieces.*
You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don’t know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin’, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson’s mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he’d been bitten in half below the waist.
At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol’ fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945.
Anyway, we delivered the bomb.”

This video certainly was different. He stopped using his usual censors like "chalk outline" "unalive" and "statistic" for the most part. The whole thing has a completely different atmosphere from anything else that's been made on this channel, and I love it.
That’s when you know shit is about to get dark.
He did say "Took (x number) of people off the census" which of course is a euphemism we understand the meaning of. But other than that, he was incredibly respectful of the fact that the families of the deceased and who endured these terrors are very much alive and traumatized by what happened- and he was being very empathetic to that fact while creating this video. :)

Gustave and the Tsavo Lions were probably the most terrifying of them all. One of the lions was shot several times at close range with a rifle and even as it was in it's death throes it STILL tried to kill the guy who shot it.
Gustave has a kill count of allegedly 300 plus and is borderline unkillable given the scars on his body indicate that people have tried and failed. Unlike most of these animals listed, Gustave *might still be out there*
It's reported that, while unlikely, Gustave may have survived a blast from a rocket launcher that barely missed him. He's surprisingly durable. His skin had gotten so thick that the only widely available gun in that area (an ak-47) wouldn't even pierce his hide. The only effective way to get Gustave to get away wa to drop a live grenade in the water, which shows just how intelligent this reptile is.
r we sure gustave is a normal croc? he seems way too powerful to have gotten those mutations in a handful of generations.
Allow me to make the hyena slightly more terrifying, unlike in humans, hyenas have a relatively low mortality from rabies meaning it didn't necessarily die, it might have just recovered from the disease and kept living its life
@@spingus_bingus987 yeah, no. There's tough, and then there's 'take a weapon that rips apart tanks' fantasy. Regardless of surviving a close impact (which he likely wouldn't), there would be the countless sharpnel that would imbed and infect him, which is lethal in the wild.
Additionally, his size would make it pretty hard to miss him, so the whole 'he could still be out there' thing is bogus.
@@blake3631 the whole "he could still be out there" thing isnt bogus, yes the rpg would've killed him, but how do we know someone even shot him with an rpg?, the real question should be "how the hell did he get that big" because normal crocodiles DONT get that big, oh and also most crocodiles are pretty much immune to diseases.

I remember learning about the USS Indianapolis in boot camp. I heard that when some sailors were picked up, they had been in the ocean so long, that when they were pulled up skin was coming off of the sailors.
could be
“Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side, Chief. We was comin’ back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We’d just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes.
Didn’t see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin’ from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn’t know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin’ by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and sometimes that shark he go away… but sometimes he wouldn’t go away.
*Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those sharks come in and… they rip you to pieces.*
You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don’t know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin’, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson’s mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he’d been bitten in half below the waist.
At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol’ fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945.
Anyway, we delivered the bomb.”

The story of the man-eating lions of Tsavo is probably the scariest story I’ve ever heard. I think what makes the story so scary is that it taps into the primal fear of man.
People very very very easily forget today that there's a reason we made it out of the bush
There’s a movie on it. The Ghost and the Darkness
If you haven't read John Patterson's "The Man-eaters of Tsavo" I highly recommend it. At the beginning of the film Ghost and the Darkness it says "even the most unbelievable parts of this story are true.". Well, it's more like "ONLY the most incredible parts are true." Patterson recounts it in such a matter-of-fact way, but the horror of the incident is not diminished.
I think whats scarier was the companies disregard for han life. No one helped them and those poor men suffered alone. No creature is scarier than a human.

the story of the salt water croc island always gives me chills. I can't even imagine the terror of wandering into such a place, let alone surviving long enough to make it out. One tale of an animal serial killer that I also find terrifying is that of a Japanese bear around the turn of the 20th century I believe. A string of attacks that resulted in Japanese bears being intentionally extinct'd just to prevent a repeat ever being possible. As usual, it was largely due to declining habitat and too many humans. It's been a while and I'm probably forgetting details, but I think it happened during the winter, when the bear should've been hibernating already, making its motive all the more likely to be lack of food and places to sleep without human interference. It attacked a number of households on village outskirts, and most of its victims were children. The part that haunts me is one mother who was fleeing with her baby in one of those slings that keep them on your back. It caught up to her, pinned her down, and her baby became an unintended meat shield that the bear devoured before leaving. The mother survived, but I can't imagine being alive on the inside after an experience like that. So Japan rallied together and wiped out every last bear in the country. I can't say I would've tried to stop them. As horrible as it is, a small country like that, already so densely populated.. it wouldn't have been the last incident. And slowly dying out from starvation and habitat loss was the only other option for the bears, as had already happened to Japanese wolves long ago. No one wins.
Locally extincted, because there are bears still in Japan: brown bears on Hokkaido and black bears on the rest of the Japanese islands.

Japan didn't exterminated all the bears. When bears wander too close to settlements and causing casualties, hunters are dispatched to put them down. This year a bear named OSO18(18inch-paw) terrorized Hokkaido ranches.

“Fun fact?”, Jaws was the first movie To bring the USS Indianapolis incident to the public, in fact, a crew member skipped out on a party celebrating the films release and success, cause he discovered one of his sons had been killed by a Shark during the incident.

The first story about the lions was made in a movie, The Ghost and The Darkness, and I was on the edge of my seat during the whole run time. I can’t imagine the fear and anxiety that those poor men felt as workers died in droves, and wondered who would survive the night.

The Tsavo lions also got a really good movie adaption called "The Ghost and the Darkness", starring Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas. It's a great 90s flick that really captures how scary it must have been for those being hunted by these two lions and gives them even a mysterious, unnatural aura.
I remember watching it as a kid, had it on a good old vcr XD. Freaked me tf out, but I still watched it again from time to time.
There's also a video on them by Bob Gymlan that is fantastically narrated and illustrated
Loved this too as a kid but honestly had no idea it was a true story. Pretty damn amazed to have learned this and will probably go watch it again tonight
I just commented this, I’m glad someone else remembered and pointed it out. Very good movie and I’m not a movie person.
Those lions are now actually taxidermy in the Field Museum in Chicago, I used to see them every time we went!
This video was actually fantastic. The horror genre of storytelling really suits you. Please do more things like this!
I'm glad the story of the Japanese encountering man-eating crocodiles was brought up.
It was one of the most interesting (if not horrifying) stories I've heard in all my time studying WWII
That story has been debunked i believe
@@virgilfranken873 is it not just the *number* that’s been debunked? Like most Japanese soldiers weren’t eaten alive by crocodiles (as opposed to what was originally rumored with only 20 surviving) but I thought it wasn’t entirely ruled out that *some* may have been eaten by crocs.

Fear, respect, admiration and curiosity. A croc that big would be trouble even for a fully grown bull elephant.
Wish you talked more about the rabid hyena. Because the hyena attack happened in the village like clockwork every 40 years or so... with frightening consistency of it being a rabid hyena, and the same season. It was why it scared 4,000 people to move away from the village.
So Pennywise's tunnels go that far huh?
@@nathanielhughes8071 Pretty sure Steven King used that story as a basis for Pennywise' coming back.
It happened other years? Then it wasn't a rabid hyena. Rabies kills the animal short after the agressive behaviour starts showing. If that hyena really existed in the first place it died within the same year (even being generous) of the first attack
@@Killmewithfire If it was 40 years apart, it most definitely wasn't the same hyena. But each time the hyena attacked, it acted rabid. No idea if they ever caught or killed any of them.
40 years is too long for nearly any wild animal to be the same. The peculiarity is that it kept happening over and over in the same village.
@@Zachomara Oh 40 years. I missread
I love the fact that I knew about more than half of these animals beforehand. I am fascinated by animals who decided human are in fact no longer on the top of the food chain. However, I had not heard about the rabid hyena, would love to learn more about those incidents. Great video as always Casual Geographic.
Although it might be because of a lack of info on the story (and if it is, then it's not Casual's fault), but I would've wanted to hear a bit more about that rabid hyena story. It felt a tad short compared to all the other stories.
Ive never heard about the hyena either! That would be so scary because rabies essentially causes you to go batshit insane and aggressive as hell
The first story about the lions were made into a movie called "Ghost and the Darkness".
It is very good and watching it for the first time sends shivers down your spine.
It was a great movie and I watched it a few times with my dad.
I think the tale with the sharks was mentioned by an actor in "Jaws" and they kept it in the movie.
You can actually see the interest and shock the other actor felt when he told this story.
Also there is a movie called Primevil (or Die Fährte des Grauens in german).
It is about the Gustave Crocodile from Africa.
Have seen all of those movies and can recommend all of them.
Don't know if you knew about them but I guess I leave them here for people to watch if interested.

@leaked footage Yo, if you want to promote someone's channel then be up front about it. Don't tell people "Hey, click this link to see something scary" if it's just some food channel.
The story of the Indianapolis is told by the character Quint in the movie Jaws. However, the actor himself (Robert Shaw) nor any of the actual survivors, wrote that monologue. Credit to Shaw's acting that when watching the viewer can really believe he's talking about something that happened to him personally.
The problem with prime evil is they tried really hard to market it as one of those real life supernatural slasher movies instead of man vs nature.
I remember seeing the commercials on the sci fi channel showing the mass grave scene, and going on about the worlds most prolific cereal killer was still at large.
Oh my goodness I'm blown away and horrified at the same time. I thank God I don't live anywhere near these animals. So heartbreaking for the victims.
Seeing the two lions at the museum as a kid gave me chills and my grandma playing the movie over and over before me seeing them did not help😅😅😅. RIP to all who lost there lives to those two man eaters. It’s weird cause of course they didn’t look big cause they’re stuffed and dead so I was confused how these skinny lions would deal so much damage till I realized hell they were alive they where probably giant and then seeing the pictures it finally clicked.
One thing I found out is that they weren't properly treated when stuffed, because of that they actually shrank over time and are now smaller than what they use to be.
@@briannahines627 thanks for the info it still kinda just confused me, but you made it clear.

I got to see one of them at the Smithsonian, and while he was scrawny remember noticing his paws were massive enough I got a pretty good idea of how much damage he could do.

That last black and white picture of the man with the tiger wasn't the man eater of champawat, it was the bachelor of powalgarh, (who wasn't a man eater but was really big, which is why people were trying to get him as a trophy.) They were both killed by the same person, Jim Corbett. There's an old book he wrote on all the different man eating tigers he hunted called 'Man-Eaters of Kumaon', its a super interesting read, definitely recommend it.
The first story was turned into a movie titled "The Ghost and the Darkness" staring Val Kilmer. It is actually a very intense movie and the lions of that area were not only bigger than other parts of Africa, but also lacked manes so the usual lion traps had little effect. Of all the examples here, I had heard of I think four of them before tonight.
I'm sad that more people don't know about it - it's one of my favourite movies. I got punched in the gut with how old I am when I told a coworker it came out in 1996 and she said "aw, that's the year I was born!"
Both lions are mounted in the Chicago Field Museum. Recently the taxidermy was refurbished so they look much more lifelike. Isn't that charming?
This is an amazing movie. I didn't realize it was based on a true story. The scariest part is how accurate it was adapted. I had no idea some of the more crazy parts of that movie actually happened!
@@cosmicturban2797 You’d be amazed at how inaccurate it is. First and foremost the hunter, played by Michael Douglas, didn’t exist. It was only John Patterson. The scene, where Patterson was discussing the number of people killed to the railroad owner, was wrong. Patterson, in the first edition of the book he wrote of the incident, stated 35 workers died not the 40s and higher the movie states. The higher number that was attributed much later, was reporting about 100 villagers were killed, not railroad workers. Subsequent studies of the skeletons and fur of the lions downgraded that number back down to 35 with the lion with the root tip abscess being blamed for at least 25 of the humans being killed.
@@jpbaley2016 I like to tell people that when they say in the beginning "even the most unbelievable parts of this story are true" they mean ONLY the most unbelievable parts are true!
I actually read about the shark attack in a CHILDREN’S book as a kid. It described it in horrific detail, but it’s the details that keep you reading about it. I had nightmares for days. My sister also told me about the Lion attack when I was little. It kind of explains why I can’t sleep without white noise anymore. Silence just unnerves me now.
That sounds like a fked up book if it was for children. Kids don't need to be exposed to the harshness of reality that soon especially not in descriptive detail. I wonder what the motive was for publishing that book.

If you look at the stuffed bodies of the lions in question, they were actually pretty skinny and small. Didn't even have manes.
My grandfather was a part of that crew of the ship that was sunken. He never talked about it with us kids. I only know stories from my dad from childhood.
What's even more scary about tigers is that, when you see them note that they've been watching you for the last 30 minutes, I saw this one video with a guy in an elephant's back and as they were going through what looks to be a rice field, you hear the tiger roar, and the thing is, you don't see it until it literally leaped of the grass and over the elephant and almost taking off one of the guys hands with one quick swipe, like it ran through the bushes but you couldn't see or hear it, only it's roar, it's fur might look like one of the worst camouflage but it's actually one of the best
For us is visible, but for many animals, that orange that makes it stand out for us, is completely green. This means that, for many animals tigers hunt... They are like ghosts before they strike, that perspective is simply horrifying
Gustav is like those old Chinese folklores of an ancient tiger with human intelligence living on cursed grounds (usually a mountain) and preying on innocent souls.
They are told to be the reincarnated spirits of long deceased, but once malevolent and feared warriors, given the ultimate form for them to continue their reign at the top of the food chain. Their rage never-ending, their bloodlust always hungering them, they exist for nothing else but to see living beings breathe their last breath of air at their feet.
Ironic you compare it to a crocodile when we literally have a murder-tiger in the same video. XD
@@azuroslazuli6948 yeah but that’s different from the stories. The murder tigers slaughtered their victims out of pure need, Gustav did it just because he could.
People really underestimate how intelligent animals can be. I saw an article on Gustavo showing that there was an actual bounty put out on him, it was supposed to be $90,000 or something like that to whoever could kill Gustavo. Unfortunately we don't need to be told how that went. Also I would like to point out that we don't even know the limit to a crocodiles age. The life expectancy of a crocodile is supposed to be 20 years but there are Crocs that have been around since Eisenhower was in office and most of them are still alive to this very day.
