Jowlagiri Man Eater by Kenneth Anderson | Audiobook (English)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 มิ.ย. 2021
- Kenneth Douglas Anderson (1910-1974) was born in India into a family of Scottish origin, long domiciled in India. His works have been popular with generations of nature lovers for their thriller-like readability and his extensive knowledge of the jungles of South India and of the natural world in general. Much like Jim Corbett, he has left behind a legacy of a sportsman with a conscience who lived and hunted with a code of ethics.
And so, by popular demand, here's one of his earliest stories. Although no dates are mentioned, the best guess is that the events described here took place sometime in the late 1930s or early 1940s. The Jowlagiri Reserve Forest is in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, on the border with Karnataka.
The narration is only meant to serve as a tribute to Mr. Anderson's exploits and as a small introduction to his body of work because the quality of his storytelling deserves to be read and acknowledged widely.

Kenneth Anderson's writings are top notch. While Jim Corbett largely sticks to the hunt with fewer meanderings, I really like when Anderson goes off tangentially talking about other things in the jungle or relating some interesting anecdote. India is enriched to have had these two who have left behind such rich and storied cultural treasures in the form of their books. These will last if the jungles are gone.
I cannot thank you enough for doing this!
Excellent point. Thanks for listening!
I also really enjoy them.
They are top notch 👍
Very much enjoyed your descriptions of the hunt.
Yessss amazing! A little change of scenery. Kenneth Anderson's writings are the only ones worthy of being an alternative to Jim Corbett. Thanks a ton!
Of course, and thanks!
Pls Read From "INDIA ADVENTURE STORIES" by PATRICK GRIFFITH. GREAT COLLECTIONS OF JUNGLE, MANEATER, ADVENTURE, PARANORMAL INDIAN STORIES. 3 VOLUMES. FOUND ON AMAZON. 🙏📚🙏👍😃
Excellent narration. Thanks so much for putting Kenneth Anderson up. In the hands of a capable writer, the natural world has more than enough thrill for keen listeners, and all the while being educated in the ways of the animals with whom we share this rented space with.
Much appreciated and thanks for sharing!
I really like these Kenneth Anderson tales!
Thank you for taking the time to read these stories , I look forward to hearing them and can't wait for your next work . Jim
Thanks so much!
Jim Corbett is the superior writer and Hunter, however your reading has made this enjoyable none the less.
Thank you. I truely love your work 👍
be so kind as to keep your non-hunting opinions to yourself...until you've read all books by both authors...and then spent 50 yrs in the field
@@ratbastard1811 explain your comment?
I've been a hunter for 26 years and I have read all the books.
@@ratbastard1811 Being 50 years old doesn't amount to 50 years experience in the field.
Is it so bad to have differing opinions?
What is your favourite story and favourite firearm calibre?
My personal favourite is
'The Man eaters of Tsavo' and .303British
@@BB-oq4kc ok shitbird! i am not 50yrs old...but i have godamn sure spent 50yrs in forest n field...getting mighty tired of being provoked by the never was...
@@ratbastard1811that is unnecessaryly abusive.
Clearly you are 13 years old at best!
Not surprising that you can't respond with a answer.
Even Kenneth Anderson admitted he had a sixth sense that always warned him about danger!
Id never heard of Kenneth Anderson so it's been a treat this Sunday afternoon to discover one of his books.Once again the narration is brilliant in away that leaves me to paint my own picture in my head in each step i take in the story.🐅
Excellent. My job is done then. Thanks for listening!
He is the Jim Corbett of the south.Worked for HAL in Bangalore.Great story teller and his son Donald followed suit until he migrated to Australia,I think.All his stories are less supported by records hence never got to be as prominent in jungle lore as Jim.But immensely mesmerizing.
Read the one about the Black Rogue of.......It was about a musth elephant.Simply could not put it down.
Interestingly. They were both hunting man eaters around the same era. One in the North & the other in the South. He was actually born in Poona but his father got transferred to Bangalore. I literally got chills up my spine reading his books. I could literally feel myself there. His son died just a few years ago at about 90. He is referred to a lot in the books & was actually asked to continue some stories as he was on many hunts with his dad.
I enjoy this more than reading, reading puts me to sleep. This keeps me awake.
You thank us for watching Mr Singh, I think we are the ones who need to say a very big thank you for the time and amazing effort you put into bringing these stories to all of us. I have heard all of the stories from Gym Corbett and now look forward to your narration of the Kenneth Anderson adventures as well. My deep thanks to you Sir.
Very nice of you to say that Mr. Black! Thanks, as always for your excellent comment.
It’s amazing how Kenneth Anderson was able to fool the tigers!
As a hunter I love this type of storie
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to my first Kenneth Anderson story. You have a voice that's well suited to these thrilling jungle adventures. Keep them coming. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your reading brings more life into the tales. I have found these audios after years of search. Thank you for putting this in public domain.
Thanks, glad you're here and listening in!
Thank you for putting these podcasts on you tube. Thank you so much
I never even who Jim Corbett or Kenneth Anderson were thanks to you I do know now
You're very welcome, Mr. Payne!
Thank you, I love setting on the porch in the dark , the woods a mere 15 yards away listening to these.
That's a fantastic setting to hear these stories. Lucky you, and thanks!
I can't get enough of these stories. I've listened to this between new recordings often. I listen to all of them multiple times. Thank you for bringing them to life. And thank you for the new recordings too.
Cheers and many thanks Scott :)
Gem of a channel, just brilliant, phenomenal narration, keep up the great work.👌👌👌
Thanks for listening and for your comment, Rameez!
I have finally subscribed. After finishing the Corbett series, I found myself looking for more of your readings. Thank you.
Welcome on board. Thanks for subbing!
@@selvalore You're welcome. If we can help in any way, let us know
Thanks a ton man. I was really looking for Kenneth Anderson's stories.
Thank you!
@@selvalore No. Thank you. You're doing us the favor here 😄
I've been looking forward to a new audiobook from you, keep up the good work my friend
Much appreciated!
Thank you dear.... I was looking forward to Kenneth Anderson travails through your voice.
Thanks a ton!
Thanks again Mr Singh
You read these storys very well
These stories are wonderful and your voice is very pleasant.
Thankyou for recording these.
You're welcome and thanks for the comment.
I am from South Africa, grew up on 3 huge farms with dangerous animals ; lion, leopard, Cape buffalo, rhino, hippo,.........love these readings...... thank you !!!!
I now about Jim Corbit , but did not know about Anderson
Thanks for sharing! That's an enviable place to grow up on.
I run out of superlatives when it comes to describe your narration,once again, excellent..
Roar!
God’s love never quits.
Love these stories.
Good work to the narrator
You brought my school days back and in more joyous . I like your work especially the storytelling voice
That's great to hear! Thanks for your comment.
@@selvalore please keep up the good work I wish your channel grows more and more 🙏
Thank you once again. I'm Familiar with kenneth Anderson's exploits but not his writing. Looking forward to listening to this.
Thanks for listening!
damn i want MORE stories like this. there ARE more on youtube but they are either AI narrated OR poorly narrated. Great Work by you as always. Like i said before these stories (original ones unknown by the public) are STILL out there. The killing of the tiger is not the main thing for me in the story. its the detective side, the fear and struggle of the villagers. the anticipation of the whole thing that embodies anderson and corbett stories. My crazy dream is to travel to Indian villages to capture the people, the victims, the lifestyle of these people AND the singular details of the particular animals and their victims that constitute these freak and rare situations.
Yes, I think the main attraction to these stories is the backdrop of history with the accompanying ecology, geography lessons along with nature study from men who were so well versed in it.
Thank you for an excellent comment!
@selvalore agreed man. YOU need to research modern day man eaters. The animals that are serial killers. not the one off killers. You have a wonderful talent for narrating. And I'm sure people would be glued to your channel if you found some modern day stories. Just the other day I read about a leopard in Bijar that's killed 14 people. The paper gives boring first names and bare bones descriptions like " a farmer was killed by a leopard in Bijar on Tuesday. the farmer was identified as Ahmed. He was working in his ginger field at 7 a.m. when the leopard attacked him." THATS THE ONLY INFO ABOUT THIS GUY AND THE EVENTS THAT HAPPENED. There is SO MUCH MORE I want to know. like who was the man? what was his life like? what is his village like? did he have children? how about the landscape? etc etc etc. The BORING newspaper story has SO MUCH potential to be a spellbinding tale of danger and tragedy. anyway, keep up your good work narrating stories. You have a great channel.
BIHAR not BIJAR. sorry. and the man's name wasn't Ahmed. that was just an example of how blasé the news media is
The other channels can’t compete with Mr. Singh’s true Indian voice. 🇮🇳
Thank you very much for your efforts..
I knew Kenneth Anderson name from Jim corbets's book...but never knew he has killed Maneater too..
I really enjoyed..
God bless you dear
Thanks!
I never read where Jim Colbert mentioned Kenneth Anderson I often wondered if they ever crossed paths it would have been wonderful if they could have hunted a famous Maneater together the cat wouldn't have had a chance but none of them did anyway if one of these brave jungle wise men had took thier trail
@chesterwortham5525 if I remembered correctly, Jim corbett had mentioned anderson name in Rudryapryag Man eater sitting an example of brevery where anderson killed a wild elephant
@chesterwortham5525
I take back my statement. I listened to the Rudraprayag man eater again . Jim corbet never mentioned Kenneth anderson name. It was a different person who killed a wild elephant from a very close range while the animal overturned the vehicle and killed the mahut
I am from mysore. Nice to listening this.
Oh wow I'm enjoying these audio's- thank you ❤
Can't wait for another great hunting story-you do have mesmerizing voice
Thanks for your comment!
Love all these stories by everyone
Fantastic reading..
Thank you again so much for your excellent work!
Welcome, and thanks for listening in!

THANKS SO MUCH .BEEN WAITING FOR KENNETH ANDERSON . GOD BLESS YOU. WE EXPECT MORE FROM YOU.
Glad you like em all, sir!
Thank you sir, I was keenly waiting for your new video’s.
Thank you!
Today I visited Jowlagiri and the area the tiger has been shot just outside the forest...
Waiting for the next one bro... cheers keep it up👍🏻 .. your channel has a lot of potential
Amazing read.
That was excellent Thankyou
Thanks Claire!
Awesome
Thank you
Excellent storytelling , thank you for your wonderful narration.. I hope there will be more new stories in the future..
Thanks Bob!
A helpful fact. Why do crickets stop their din when a tiger roars in the jungle? This as solved by Anderson & other experts. Crickets don’t have ears so how do they know when a tiger roars? Answer ….. A tiger roar literally shakes every tree & bush. So it’s the sudden agitation of the bush that quietness them.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing. That does make sense on an intuitive level.
OMG,! You covered K Anderson too?? I’ve read all of his books too so it’s like reliving those thrilling moments . Lizum Lizzy & all. Baira the Pujaree.
The story of Byra the Poojaree is one of the best from the book. I don't recall Lizum Lizzy though
@@selvalore He called his old Studebaker Lissum Lizzy. It was one of those with a lovers seat in the back of the car. That’s what they called them.
@@johnmuliyil8170 Hahaha right right! That's an apt name for a car designed thoughtfully for a certain kind of indulgence. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
@@selvalore If you Google Keneth Anderson. You can actually see that car. Donald. Wife. House in Bangalore. The house where Baira was shouting “ Saar…Saar… off course Sir….😊
Great
Noclely explained
In the same way Jim Corbett had killed the Thak Man-eater, calling the tiger with false mating sound standing behind a rock.
Yes except Kenneth Anderson was up in a tree
Thanks!
Thank you again for taking the time to narrate these wonderful stories. I enjoy listening to them daily on my walks
I appreciate the support Luke! Thank you!
Escuchado una vez con mucha atención
As a hunter, the thought of matching wits with animals that seemed to possessed almost human levels of cunning, makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, thinking could I have survived?
That's a good way of looking at it. Testing oneself against an intelligent animal in its own habitat is the ultimate test of a hunters skill.
Bro
Waiting for new video
Thanks for the presentation
Thanks for listening! It will be up at some point.
👍
Sir PLEASE Read for us "INDIA ADVENTURE STORIES" By PATRICK GRIFFITH. Collection of true maneater adventure mystery paranormal stories.Thanks sir.
Well explained, I just want to know if
This is written by Legendary hunter
Jim Corbett
This is Kenneth Anderson, not MR corbet.
@@clintoncampbell236 please don't mislead innocent listeners
@@gaganpalsarran6932 huh ?
?? The name Kenneth Anderson is written in red across the top of the background picture. This true story is Anderson’s, not Corbett’s
Is this book written by Jim Corbett
No. Its written by Kenneth Anderson.
Hell no can't you read
😂😂 my grandpa did something close to the ear thing with a white tale deer once but with the other end 😂😂😂😂😂
Still Kenneth Anderson did make mistakes and failed to kill big cats but eventually after trying he would be successful after all!
Have you got to 9 man eaters & one rogue? Yet?
This is just fiction and full of errors. There are no hyenas in India. Apparently the writer has read some hunting books from the likes of Jim Corbett and wrote this fiction.
Hello Frank! Well first, thanks for expressing your thoughts.
Mr. Kenneth Anderson was a bonafide hunter, naturalist and writer. One of the finest from that part of the world. The only reason why he is not as well known is because of a certain Mr. Corbett whose popularity around this time already spanned continents. A lot of his kills are officially recorded and well documented. This is one of those maneater kills. This was also one of the first stories he ever penned. His style is different from Corbett and his disposition was more daring and exploratory than Mr. Corbett who, atleast in his writings, is all business and no flair.
With respect to the point about hyenas, the striped hyena is native to India. India even had Cheetah until about a 100 or so years ago before they were wiped out. Its the only country outside of African countries, to hold a stable wild lion population.
Thanks for listening and for leaving a comment. Best!
You can still find striped hyenas in india.
Your carzy Jim Colbert mentioned hyenas many times in his books
Well I've just read Mr Singh's reply. I am sure your comment was well intentioned but a little research before posting could do no harm. Thank you Mr Singh for taking the time to help expand all our knowledge. Yet again you show your class. 👍
“striped hyena | Hyaena hyaena
Striped hyena is the only hyena species found in India. It is closely related to two other species of hyenas and the aardwolf. Hyenas in India inhabit a diversity of habitats, from dry open scrub to deciduous forests and agriculture fields. Although they can hunt down prey, hyenas are generally scavengers, feeding on domestic and wild carrion.”
This man is fake. Makes mountain out of a mole hill. Jim Corbett a true hunter and adored by crores of people.
While I don't agree with that first statement, you are well within your rights to hold a contrarian opinion.
I have always found Kenneth Anderson's writing entertaining, and insightful about Indian jungles.
Thanks for listening!
Your carzy Kenneth Anderson was a great hunter as Jim Colbert and shared his love for the people there they both risked thier life many times to kill the Maneaters that made the poor villagers life a terror intill they were shot
