Your stupid 😂
this is actually very interesting because in my native homeland Nagaland(which is home to the konyak tribe which were headhunting and tribal just half a century ago)we believe the chieftains of the village had a familiar spirit in the form of a Tiger. and that their fates were interlinked. if the chief dies the tiger dies, and if someone kills a tiger in the wild a chief in one of the many villages dies.so its interesting calling the tiger a cannibal as they view man and tiger as the same. there is even folklore of a human woman mating and birthing offspring with a tiger(the children were said to be human in appearance but had weird characteristics) I'm sure this all can be written off as myth but still an interesting connectionbetween two distant cultures.@Downs-Indroam 😮
I’m so sorry for the amount of people in the comments who didn’t actually listen to the video and are trying to say you “messed up” by calling it a cannibal tiger. Some of us watch intensely 💛
Intensely is a little much but I try and pay attention I suppose 😅
@@Downs-IndroamAgreed. Seems a tad too dramatic. Some people are multi tasking while listening and might miss the odd word or two.

@@asherdayne6157All of them are Christians now, right?
The tribal religions and customs are rapidly dying in Nagaland!
@@bibekdas7449 yep. 99%christian. my aunt Phejin Konyak has been trying to conserve our tribal identity through exploring and documenting our ancient tattooing culture.
The book was great. Memorable. Everyone, READ IT. The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival - John Valliant
I agree!
The book by Valliant was wonderful, one that you savour and have to think about after each reading. Thank you for this film.
Yes, he is a superb author and this is a compelling tale.
A film adaptation was long in the works to which at a time Darren Aronovsky and then Michael Roskam were attached as director and it was supposed to star Brad Pitt but the movie never happened so far.
@@notundermywatch3163 Great book. So is 'The Golden Spruce.' Just started 'Fire Weather." He's a great author, and "the Tiger" is a pretty exceptional story.
Back at it with the top class videos - thank you again and please keep at it my dude! You’re one of my fave creators atm
Thanks a ton! If you want a more comprehensive account of the story I recommend picking up 'The Tiger' by John Vaillant, or the documentary film 'Conflict tiger' by Sasha Snow.
My favorite channel returns at last! I’ve been so bummed constantly checking for new videos by you, and seeing that damned mosasaur video! Hell yes! You, my friend, are a truly gifted storyteller.
my home in Louisiana is closer to Moscow than Vladivostok is by 100 miles..... how crazy is that?
I live in SF and SF and Vladivostok are " surrogates ". Google their version of the Golden Gate.
I'm not surprised the Louisiana public school system failed you so much. You didn't realize how much larger the Pacific is than the Atlantic?
Go Cajuns!
@@saintarmstrong8790well you’re a little bundle of joy ain’t you
Really great video. I think Yuri Trush might have been a tiger in a former life. To get clawed up by a big cat and just pour some vodka into the wounds and get back to work… I mean, that’s hard core. And he didn’t even blame the cat. Respect.
I watched the story in Arabic. It was a scary and sad story. I have never seen a scarier story in my life than the Siberian tiger. It is a truly terrifying and terrifying animal. How Vladimir Markov and the other man returning from the army acted and how he felt so afraid in his heart no one knows...just watching the story is something truly terrifying.
Siberian tiger only rivial beside man in Russia is the ussuri brown bear. Those titans were the only beasts that killed siberian tigers in straight-up fights. Tigers usually win by ambush attacks. 50/50 between the 2. Tiger was more feard cause like the video shown humans were easy prey. Respect to both 👏🏻 🐻 🐯
Well, an Ussuri was responsible for the infamous Sankebetsu brown bear incident in Hokkaido, so I'd say they're pretty feared too.
@@jaredthehawk3870 True out the two. At least the tiger will kill you where the bear will eat you alive.
@@Leviathan1000fuckin aye those bears will sit on you while pulling on your guts. Gruesome shit. I recommend the channel At home in wild spaces. It has a lot of valuable information on bear attacks.
@@Leviathan1000100% id rather get eaten by a tiger than a bear, quick death vs unimaginable torture
Tiger is an ambusher. Bear is a barbarian.
Bear is stronger but messy and clumsy. It will snap your limbs and chew on them as you scream.
Tiger would break your neck and you probably won't even know how you died.
That's why fight between the two is 50-50.
A bear will win in a contest of strength.
But a tiger will never usually contest with raw power and would ambush the bear and break it's neck.
This is one of the BEST channels on TH-cam. You make the EXACTTTT videos I want to watch. Please keep it up.
Thanks, will do! I really appreciate it. The book and real documentaries are much better than my video. If you want a more detailed account, I recommend you check them out.
@@wildworld6264 I actually have both read the book and watched the documentary. I’m very extremely into these topics and have been since I was a very wee child. They are both fantastic but so is your video (and all your videos) I’m very interested in apex predators and the historical stories of humans and prehistory human interactions with them. That’s a pretty niche topic and most of the time when it is done especially on TH-cam, it is… let’s just say hella trashy 🤣💀
@@wildworld6264 I’m sure you are, but do you happen to be familiar with the amazing TH-cam channel @NORTH02 ??
I just ordered the book!!!!!
@@cecileroy557 Great! I hope you enjoy it.
This is so fascinatingly informative. For years I'd only heard the simplified tale of a tiger seeking revenge on a hunter. I had no idea of the facts behind this story. Thank you so much!
Thank you. This was an amazing video about my favorite animal. 👋🏿🤠
Thanks. I highly recommend the John Vaillant book if you want a more detailed account.
One of my most favourite channels!!!
Thank you!
Wild world uploading some animal tale is like watching a nice movie
Legend has it that upon being caught the tiger cut a deal with the authorities and now it has a steady sideline doing commercials for breakfast serials.
I really enjoyed this story, didn't want the tiger to end up dead but who was I kidding? Always glad when you post a new video, well researched and well told, thankyou .
Wildlife biologists do say that Siberian tigers appear to be able to focus on revenge.
The Tiger can follow a particular scent for days, even long after the prey isn't around, this tiger wasn't going to be denied, it's not evil or revenge, it's equilibrium of nature.
BABE GET UP!!! WILD WORLD JUST POSTED!!!!!!
finally new video
The ambient music you use from time to time in your videos make me feel im watching a youtube commercial. I would swap the music out. Nice storytelling orherwise. Found your channel today. Cheers!
Excellent video... Subscribed!
Great storytelling...I read the book last year also, but enjoyed your rendition
Reminds me of movie Tiger, an old hunter tale.
Great movie, also reminds me of unique Kurosawa s movie, Dersu Uzala ❤
Great Video!
I have seen a few other videos telling this story, but yours was the most comprehensive. Have you ever heard the sad story of the female tiger that escaped her enclosure at a San Francisco zoo to attack three young men who had pestered her? She was shot dead by San Francisco police.
Good work! Keep it up!
1:39 "about once every 4 years there is an unprovoked attack from a man eater".... the critter must be bloody hungry the other 3 years and lots of days!
Inevitably we will be competitors once i can get a Mic but im still a fan, i just cant help it. You should do a video on snakes, and how the fear of snakes is genetically programmed into our entire planet, w the exception of resistant weasels, everything is absolutely terrified of them on a deep psychological level. Youd nail this video. Gl bud, love your work.
wonderfully well-read TH-camr
Nicely done.
Thank you so much
I feel so sorry for the beautiful Amur Tigers. They are the most beautiful beasts on the earth along with Lion . Respect them
The korean film on prime, The Tiger, is amazing.
Haven't heard of that one. What's it about?
@@wildworld6264 The Tiger is South Korean period action drama film about a hunter prepared to kill the last tiger of Joseon. During the Japanese occupation.
@@mouseonfirewhuite8580 oh wow. Sounds interesting
It is a fabulous movie!!! I highly recommend it!!
I loved this video. It was very interesting that after they finally killed the tiger, they'd discovered the older gun wounds it had endured. Based on other man-eating tigers and lions, that final shot to its front paw probably prevented it from hunting it's normal prey successfully, as you even mentioned that it had still been attempting to do so while they were tracking it. The tiger that killed 436 people in India was found to have a severe injury due to an old gun wound to it..... and once a predator is no longer able to hunt its preferred prey, it has to turn to necessity. The easiest prey to hunt is man due to how slow man is, and how incapable an unarmed person is of defending himself from an apex predator - even one that's injured. The circling of and waiting at the cabin, from my perspective, was most likely the Tiger studying its new potential prey. How does the human react..... does he run (and how fast can he run)? Does he pose a threat when threatened (How does he attempt to defend himself)? And then, based on what the Tiger learned, he attacked. And still not being able to successfully hunt his preferred prey, he attacked again. We human like to attribute human qualities to animals who pose a threat to us. Projecting qualities upon them such as revenge, or that they're evil spirits, or all kinds of other things.... when it really comes down to the simplest most direct cause ~ a last means of survival. Either eat, or starve to death. Every living organism is going to eat whatever it can find when it comes down to it.
Again, this was a great video, and I learned a lot from it. Very interesting story, and well thought out.
Its so odd an orange animal lives in a white snowscape...
Its prays see black and white, the stripes and the color create a stealth cloth for them
I admire your clear passion for all the research you've done. One tip - going off on too many tangents (citations, personal stories, etc) can be very distracting from the main storyline ... at least it was for me. Try to minimize the tangents. Otherwise, great video !
Liked and subscribed!
Thanks for the tips!
It sure wasn't distracting to me, but everyone is different.
Bro create a new How big video pls. Some topices to be cowered is mooses and bears. Also bleu whales would be nice o
I saw a docu on u tube about a lion female whose cubs were stomped by a big male Warer Buffalo. She found him once or twice, then got him.
If there are trappers in the area, it's very possible the tiger injured its leg in a snare, rather than a gunshot. It's unfortunately very common in areas with poaching.
In my dreams i have a tiger as my guardian angel , i also have a tiger tattoo watching over my shoulder.
My guardian, i almost start crying writing this ❤️❤️
The famous conservator sir jim edward corbett in his book( man eaters of kumaon) described tiger as a true gentleman
The royal bengal tigers are known to be man eaters and one of the most aggressive
Like a lot of people my natural inclination is to be pretty unsympathetic toward poachers, so kudos for adding in those humanizing details about Markov
ravens not crows
Perfect video!! I saw the news accounts and read the book years ago, and this was a re-visit that brought it all back. Your civilized description of the human remains is understandable for this format, but the book was horrifying in its detail. I don't know how to feel about this - the beauty of these animals is unsurpassed, and their intelligence is obvious. But given poaching to sell parts of these magnificent creatures to sick men who think it makes their dicks bigger, I'm with the tiger. We have a place in nature. We should honor it.
Thanks. The video doesn't really hold a candle to the John Vaillant book, or the documentary 'Conflict Tiger' but I thought I'd give it a shot.
There's a Lot of speculation in this video
Yea this video is pure bullshit.
The amur tiger, the king of the forest, grants no quarter to one who has wronged him.
My russian friend told me this and made me even more resolute in what my favorite animal is. Siberian tiger is the ultimate predator version of fafo
""from the Amu Darya to the Syr Darya"???
Odd! These are both famous rivers in CENTRAL ASIA (Now Khazakstan), called in ancient times the Oxus and Jaxartes respectively. So what the connection to the Russian far east or Amur Tigers may be, is a bit puzzling.
It's like the tiger is saying "come back. so that I can kill you" and the fella is saying "OK, I'm coming back, so that you can kill me".
Two things to note are tigers arent like bears, you dont see them around, and a tiger "cub" could be 300lbs. Easy mistake to make.
Excellent story.
The Barnum and Bailey Circus had an Amur Tiger that was exceptionally large at 900 pounds and over eleven feet long. I had the privilege to meet it face to face under the supervision of its caretaker. I got a kitty lick on my right hand from it. It was enormous and I found it to be truly intimidating. What a magnificent and powerful creature! I was filled with fear and awe and respect.
I'm a big fan of wild animals that take the laws of nature in their own paws.
To loose the amour tiger or any other tiger for more mining and human jungle is a sign of human demise.
The famous wildlife conservator sir edward jim corbett in his book ( man eaters of kumaon) describe tiger as a True Gentleman
Beautiful animal!!!
Beautiful 😍 From Pakistan 🇵🇰
Yeah I heard mark off stove with tigers kill and then when it comes around his cabin looking for him he did shoot it The Only Nicki the only one did it now that it's wounded it's highly pissed
Territorial vengeful tiger
What a great telling of a legendary story! Like Mr. Ballen quality lol. The Siberian Tiger is my spirit animal! I am a cowboy from the Texas Rangeland.. We exist, you just can’t see us from the road! I don’t go to town often, and I cover a good stretch of land! Thanks again.
The most majestic terrestrial animal on the planet.
Why are the biggest animals in the northernmost, coldest areas. Siberian Tigers, Wolves, Bears, even Moose, Elk, etc. are all bigger than their more southern milder weathered species.
The Primorsky Territory and the Amur Region of Russia are not the coldest areas. If you look at the habitat of the Amur tiger on the map of Russia, you will see that the northern border of the tiger's habitat runs up to the 50th parallel (this is about like Vancouver in Canada), and the southern one is limited by the 42nd parallel (this is about like Boston in the USA). The forests on this territory of Russia are distinguished by a wide variety of flora. There are both taiga species of trees (pine, spruce, fir, cedar Manzhursky) as well as a large number of southern trees and plants (oak, Manzhursky walnut, Amur velvet, green maple, Maksimovich poplar, many species of tree-like lianas, all kinds of orchids). All this contributes to the diversity of the animal world, which means a good food base for such a large predator as a tiger.
@@Алекс-к4х Just like a scientist, you have spoken a lot of individual truths perhaps, but you have completely misunderstood everything I'm saying. All I'm saying is the biggest everything lives in the coldest, areas, maybe not the northernmost. However the biggest tiger is the Siberian tiger. The biggest wolves live in the coldest areas. The biggest buffalo/bison, and there are many others. Rather than trying to make me wrong, why don't you comment on, this it true, help me explain it.
Come on man, get it together. Thanks
Smart people are weird sometimes. Case in point. Stop trying to prove your smarter than me & show me you're smart. Answer please. Why?
The Siberian subspecies of the tiger is still not the largest. Currently, the largest is the Bengal tiger. I can only say the following to your question. Many scientists, indeed, confirm that such a pattern exists. However, the question "why" remained unanswered for a long time. Now scientists explain this pattern by the peculiarities of thermoregulation of warm-blooded animals. The fact is that heat production is proportional to the volume of the body, and heat transfer is proportional to its surface area. Accordingly, the ratio of surface area to volume is lower in large animals. Therefore, in cold northern latitudes it is more profitable to be large in order to produce more heat and give it away less, and in southern latitudes it is the opposite.
@@Алекс-к4хbro you are just quoting Wikipedia trying to act like you are smarter than the original commenter when all you’re better at is paraphrasing information you just googled 💀
If im killed by a tiger/bear/shark whatever, just leave me there, the animal has already worked for his meal and i dont need my flesh anymore
they did not care about guns, everyone had a gun how do you think these people fed themself. with a gun.

“Koreans spend their life either hunting tigers or get hunted by tigers"
-Medieval Chinese proverb
Sad..if ivan acts like ivan ALWAYS acts, they will slaughter every last One of Them... plus ALL the Bears and whatever happens to be in front of their AKs....
Can you do one on the Tsavo man-eaters of 1898 and osama the lion of 2002😊
HAHA MARKOFF - You are nothing breathing any more:
JUST TERRIBLE, TO KILL A BEAUTIEFUL ANIMAL. AWEFUL JUS AWEFUL. NEVER SHOULD BE
ALLOWED TO KILL SUCH A BEAUTIEFUL CREATURE.
The thing is tigers have been misunderstood, tiger males are family guys too, the male will usually come around to check on the kids and his mate, a male tiger will only tolerate his own kids, usually the mother and father tigers their territories inlop each other.
That's literally adorable 🥺🥺

Best animals ever 🐯
Still don't understand why this ain't a movie!!!! I guess they would need a real actual Tiger to make it realistic , not some CGI bullshit but u can't train a tiger technically!!!!
"Russia is an area 'around Moscow' "???? Take a look of a map of Russia!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
People attack People, are it's are right to defend ourselves. But we abuse an animal and its a man eater. The tiger was doing what it needed to, to survive after People hurt it so much that it couldn't hunt. People our the man killers
They usually become man-eaters if they're injured or too old to hunt
In this very story they considered the first kill on the poacher to be revenge and let it go. It was only after it continued to hunt people that they considered it a man eater. If a person defends themselves that is their right but if they keep attacking others they are breaking the law....
Impossible to empathize with poachers.
i dont understand the text in the beginning...not the meaning at least. Think we all know that russia is a region around moscow and the country has occupied large parts of northern Asia. A highly imperialist state that has so far curtailed the rights of many ethnic groups and, above all, hundreds of different indigenous peoples and has taken away their land and exploited them and their land. Not long ago there were also tigers much closer to moscow, on the Caspian Sea, in Georgia, from eastern turkey to iran, turkmenistan till western china....
Waste of time.
The " cannibal tiger " ? Do you know what that means, or are you just guessing here ?
In the video I said “In fact the tiger was referred to not as a man-eating tiger, but a cannibal tiger. Eating a human was seen as eating one of its own.”
It's a metaphor. As stated in the video, the local people referred to a man eater as a cannibal because people and tigers were seen as the same in a spiritual sense.
Do you listen to all of what's being said, or just assume you're making a smart comment while actually being dense?
A video suggestion, what actually happened on Ramree Island?
In February 1945, according to some sensationalist accounts, the worst animal attack in history occurred on Ramree island, Myanmar when troops of the imperial Japanese army, retreating from British and Indian troops, foolishly tried to escape by wading through mangrove swamps filled with salt water crocodiles.
Some accounts at the time claimed 'hundreds' killed though this is widely disputed by historians and zoologists alike.
Yeah, I do want to cover that topic at some point.
All though some attacks did occur, to support that many salties of any period would require a food source, which was lacking on ramree. The USS Indianapolis would be a far better option for the biggest animal attack, but again that could be massively exaggerated but the experts aren't disputing this event!
@@eclipse7436
Yeah that's an excellent point. Though with Indianapolis I guess it would be hard to determine precisely how many were killed by sharks and how many who were attacked by them had already died of wounds/exposure.
@@eclipse7436 The number of Americans killed/eaten by sharks after their ship was bombed and sunk has been verified since right after it happened. That story leaves an indelible impression. Just like this story.
(As mentioned in a comment above, I don't know if the exact numbers of those killed by sharks is known but the survivors often could recount those they saw killed.)
@@stephen5656 True!!!
hell yeah. How much better my free day got with your video, you have no idea.
I’m praying that you have a great week ahead
Glad to hear it!
@@wildworld6264 . Great inspiring video 👏.
Tigers are the most serious predators of the big cats.
They are very very aggressive and have an instinct to kill.
The Champawat man eating Tigers have reported to have killed 436 humans.
Even Dave Salmoni (a lion trainer) admitted; " you can stop a lion from coming near you but when a Tiger decides he's going to kill you there's nothing you can do about it. Actually, you'll never be able to change the Tiger's mind he's going to kill you."
Man eating lion cases are very and unlikely to happen.
These are rather exceptions and not the norm.
What most people don't understand is that even captive Tigers are just as dangerous as they wild counterparts.
I remembered an incident back in 2017 , when an Amur Tiger tried to drag me inside his cage with his 4 inch long dagger like claws so as rip and tear me to shreds.
Luckily, I got saved in time by the rangers.
I was lucky to be alive but the claw marks that the Tiger dug into my torso were devastating.
All Tiger subspecies are very dangerous and very very aggressive towards humans.
When a Tiger wants you dead, you're as good as dead.
@@wildworld6264can you make video of how big can nile crocodile get. Some nile crocodiles are bigger than salts
What a story. Glad you touched on the background of Markov. Most amazing, larger then life people in history are still people wuth lives. And even though the village was saved, it was still tragic for the tiger. Glad to see your videos again pal. Great work.
I see Wild World, I insta click. I'm a simple man.
These videos are just incredibly well put together. I literally jumped for joy when I saw you had a new ‘man-eater’ mayhem upload.
Glad you like them!
What if I told you the greatest serial killer in the world wasn’t human but a Tiger with over 600 kills in India and Pakistan that went on a killing spree and its stuffed remains are in a museum
how does that make the tiger more deadly than stalin? that tiger is not even good enough to polish stalin's shoes!
It's not in Pakistan, rather in India. I come from Champawat the district where this tiger raised havoc, killing any and everyone.
The tigress is known as the "Beast of Champawat" and she had a total kill count of 436, not 600. (which is still the highest kill count by any single animal)
It was Nepal and India, the tiger was killed by Jim Corbett
@@Junior-bl4wwI believe mosquitos hold that record unless we're splitting hairs on mammals reptiles insects and such
Amazing job. Can you please cover Jim Corbett and Kenneth Anderson shikari stories????😊
he has a video bout Jim
That tiger said "alright motherfkr, you're gonna steal my dinner in gonna make YOU my dinner....."
Your videos are so incredibly put together, great work as always !!! It's always so sad when you hear tales of violence sparking more violence. A wounded animal becomes desperate and aggressive and goes on to kill men, such a shame.
Thank you very much!
🎉 Your man has returned!!
Another belter video. Good stuff mate, always happy to see your new videos on start up 👍
Thanks a ton!
tigers are goated
Could it be that he went back because he had a hope that his dogs are alive?
Possibly, he did seem worried about his dogs, according to the men at the logging camp 🤔.
Thank you for this video... I get chills imagining what it must feel like knowing a tiger is personaly after you
Excellent video. I really appreciate that the story was told factually, but still with sympathy for both the humans and the tiger.
Would you consider doing a video over the Leopard of Rudrapryag?
When the drawing of Markov pops up, I see Charlie Manson in a raincoat!😂
hahaha 😂👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Yesss I love these tiger stories
