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

CORRECTION - It seems that I made a mistake about the bite force of a lion. The bite force of a lion is higher than 650 psi and is actually closer to the bite force of a tiger. Sorry for the mistake.
Yes the 691psi was done on a 2 year old sub adult male. A 6-7 year old specimen should bite around 1000psi
Yep,I believe they are very close in size and aggression, Tiger is a bit bigger,but really u could probably flip a coin with either one,only thing that could possibly make a difference is that Lions have the backup of their pride,so If it was just a one on one thing,Tiger is very used to defending its territory alone and MALE lions of the pride will group up and attack!!
@@raypratt3611 in my opinion its hunting records wich had "320kgs" "380kgs" tigers. Thats why i dont trust hunting records,same for Lions...i dont believe in the 385kgs male from Angola,it was an exaggeration as most hunting records were.
Now you wonder why a siberian tiger under scientific supervision "only" weighs 252kgs,yes that is the heaviest recorded weight for a siberian on scientific records. And for a Bengal is 261kgs on an empty stomach. For the african lion it is 272kgs on an empty stomach (source:dr koch richard) the Lion was from Mount Kenya.
Unforgivable
Also, can you use real measurements like inches and pounds please?
As Jim Cotbett explained in his famous book The ManEaters Of Kumaon, more often than not, tigers become man eaters due to old age, failing health, tooth decay, or other such factors that render them incapable of hunting their natural prey.
On at least one occasion out of hate because the tiger was shot several times.He first destroyed the hunters cabin and a day later he came back and killed the hunter
And you know.. the fact more than a billion people live in their home country taking their habitats away. I hate humans, especially ones that think having dozens of children is beneficial ffs
@@erikramaekers63 on just about all those occasions when the tiger is shot and not killed it handicaps the tiger no longer having the ability to catch its fleeter footed prey they hunt people, they do display behaviour we would attribute to hatred but I believe they continued to hunt humans because they are easier to catch
Oh so as humans were the last resort on the menu?
Does our flesh really taste so bad that a tiger would only choose to eat us if health or tooth decay prevents him from eating a tastier yet more difficult to catch meal?
Tiger be like !! 'Fuck sake, I can't catch a bastard deer with my dodgy knee so I'll have to eat one of those tasteless bland humans again'
Oh well I am sorry Mr tiger, I'll be certain to season my flesh before leaving the house in future if the prospect of eating me turns your stomach to such an extent !!
Cheeky ungrateful stripey fuckers they are !!
I feel insulted but not begging to be eaten either, I'd just like to think that although we're a tasty meal, they choose to go for deers because they fear us, not because we're the dry, bland, left over scraps from the barbeque of earth !!!
Can't even give ourselves away these days !!
I feel like a left over sandwich at a family buffet !!
Nah we are prey to others thats ehat people don't understand.We are not super special we will be hunted and eaten if placed in such. A situation
I read Maneaters of Kumaon when I was just 11 years old. To date, it remains one of the most memorable pieces of literature I've encountered, simply for the way it gripped my adolescent imagination and influenced my life afterwards.
As I watched this video today, I felt almost the same chill as I felt reading Corbett 40 years ago. Except for some pictorial flaws, the video is very well made. I'll subscribe.
Incidentally, I am happy to report I live in Bhutan, where we've managed to keep enough forests to foster the world's healthiest tiger population. The Champawat maneater's descendants now roam freely and peacefully here even at altitudes of over 12,000 feet above sea level. And none of them have killed any of us. Corbett would have been happy here.
I didn't know Bhutan was so kind to tigers. Thank you for the heartwarming comment!
Yes excellent reading Corbett was such a hero and still is in that part of the world
I am overjoyed to hear this :-).
I was staying at my Dad's house and I was meant to be studying for my exams when I discovered the book. I didn't get much studying done and by the end of the day I was hooked on Corbett and am still a fan years later.
I have Corbett's book and have re-read it many times. When I endeavor to cull my library, I always put this book in the save pile. It's a great book!
I watched this with my little cat. Halfway through he looked at me, bit me on the hand, and went on purring. I think you gave him ideas.
hahah
😂😂😂
Sounds like a little man eater to me . He's just practicing on your hand
LOL
House cats are mini lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards, and so on. Don't ever forget it 😕
You have an incredible talent for telling the story with just enough suspense to keep the watcher glued to the video,but you also show compassion and I love how you added the links for big cat charities. I am glad I found your website!
Jim Corbett is the greatest. Familiar with all the plants, animals and folks around, respectful with a big loving heart.
RIP Jim.
he was a hunter
@@iykyk_1056 Hunters always make for the greatest of conservationists.
WAS
There is a national park named after him in India (the Jim Corbett National park)
The Greatest indeed, I am a Corbett fan since my childhood days! Corbett Forever!
This upload is seriously great, every aspect of is flawless and enjoyed every minute of it, something I would expect from a content creator with millions of subs and years of uploads, not someone’s first video??? Please continue to do this, it’s amazing. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it!
My ancestors are from Uttarakhand. It used to be such a thrill visiting grandparents in the mountains in the 90s when electricity was still not a common resource. My uncles and cousins recounted me so many encounters with leopards and some even with Tigers... The good old days.
This is a very well researched work! Hars off. There's stuff about the regional history very few would know.
my ancestors are from sindh
This is the kind of wildlife documentary that is sorely missing and it actually feels like you have such respect both for the animals, people affected by them and me as viewer.
So intriguing to learn why some big cats become man-eaters, thank you for spreading light on the plight of the tigers. I send my condolences to the victim's loved ones. Hopefully we will find harmony with these beautiful animals in the future. 🐅
It’s a tiger. It’s gonna eat. As more habitat destruction becomes a reality, they will come into much more consistent contact with humans. Leading to more attacks.
Extraordinary content. You have made it almost like a professional documentory and yeah Great narrative skills as well.
Keep up the good work....👍
Wow, thank you!
I've seen a Siberian Tiger practically face to face, at the Bolivian Zoo, NC his name was Romeo. He weighed 800 lbs.!
Amazingly well researched.... Like at another level..
I've watch many videos and even read books on this Champawat tigress, nothing comes close to as much information as this...
Wow, thank you!
One problem. Tigers often break off teeth. Not all tiger with broken teeth end up man eaters. There isn't any correlation.
This video was honestly amazing, you tell great stories man. I’d love a series of these!
This is wonderful! Narration is great , I don't know if you put the video together as well but whoever did it is so beautifully done and has a strong message . Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Great video! I never really thought about the man-eaters doing it as a last resort.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
Not all maneating tigers begin due to injury etc. More recent authors record those that prefer cattle (and getting shot as pests) to wild game became familiar with herdsmen and boys, and eventually head to head conflict defending the cows (as livestock or a kill) resulted in a dead herder that the tiger then sampled. After a few they discovered the herder is easier than the cow to kill. And the women who collected leaves daily for the cattle also fell victims once started. Tigers rarely break into huts at night to kill. Unlike leopards and Lions.
Mostly it's hunger due to injury or laziness.
It was also recorded managed sport licensed hunting was not the probable cause of tigers decline, but decrease in game and increase in cattle grazed in the jungles.
Natives and Europeans shooting them sometimes left wounded tigers (licensed hunters were expected to repot this, native poachers not so). Then defending domestic livestock by explosives, then insecticide were practiced also. Resulting in some injuries in one case, and the rapid hear extinction of the tiger in the other.
Protection and tiger reserves seen to have maintained them since.
Any tiger will kill and eat a person if they get half a chance
@@chesterswortham5197 Totally incorrect. Very few are aggressive, India would not be able to operate in forested rural areas otherwise. Defending a kill or cubs, or a sudden surprise or being cornered might cause an aggressive reaction, not will. Most simply avoid it, usually without even being detected. Otherwise unless hungry humans are safe. Hunger due to injury is the usual cause for serial maneating.
Once something realizes how easy we are to kill when unarmed, they'll attack and eat a human any chance they get. We're a fairly easy meal
If an animal could be close to pure perfection, it would be the Tiger
most cats are. And whether it's a lion, tiger, leopard or other, they always look like overgrown kitties, exactly the same movements and behaviour. Which makes it even sadder so many of them were murdered.
Greetings from West Bengal India.
This video requires more views.
I read the book and this was one of the best representation of it.
All main land tigers in India don't eat humans even if they happen to kill one.
But it seems there are still man eaters in the Sundarban regions.
The real man eaters are leopards though. Very opportunistic predators, they prefer living near villages or cities to pick a dog, cattle or even children. There were recent incidents near Mumbai..
You are what you eat.... Aren't there alot of chicken coops in Africa... Probably have a taste for chicken meat.... sooo the people probably had a simular taste for the tigers and lions...
@@b01tact10n Oh you think India is in Africa...
Must have flunked geography classes.😅
I really had tears in my eyes in last, tiger are most beautiful animal in the world, we should save them at any cost, feel proud to be an Indian here tiger is our national animal, also huge respect for Jim Corbett..
How did it take youtube this long to put this on my page?? What an amazing video, that ending sequence gave me some tears
Great information shared in a story format with well edited visuals and narrated in a pleasant voice. Videos don't get much better than that. Thanks so much for sharing!
Wow, thank you!
Loved the way you ended the video with such a positive message! More people need to do this. 👏
You captured my attention throughout the entire video. You are an amazing Storyteller sir. I absolutely loved this video and I also agree 100%. In my opinion you said the best quote I've ever heard "Humans are the most invasive species on the planet."
Well done on an excellent presentation and story telling. I was engrossed in this from beginning to end
Glad to hear it!
Ok I'm just going to say this is flat out awesome. I hope you claim due respect for this work eventually.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
If I had a chance I would give thousand likes, so good video! ❤❤❤ Great job! Thank you for quality content! I love animals❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 😀. You are so kind!
The way that you tell stories is so good and the music often makes it more relaxing to listen to. It’s relaxing and historical, not over done for shock value. That’s so appreciated in an internet that puts little effort into what ears hear. 👍💯
Thank you

Nice video, really well made.
Agreed 💯
This is a really great and interesting video👏👏
I still have goosebumps
Wow, thank you
Whoa! I actually thought Elephants were basically immune, or maybe exempt, to most predator attacks.
When you mentioned that tigers may cooperate to take down an adult pachyderm I actually gasped. It's really no wonder that ancient humans began crafting weapons. Can you imagine a world filled with 10 or 15 other predatory species, just as lethal as tigers and your defence is....running and climbing faster than your cousin?
Take down an adult elephant???
Jaazuss!!! SMFH
GREAT VID, BROTHER👍😁❤️🇨🇦🍻
Last part was so sad 😢 this is best story telling I have ever heard. You made my day subscribed you
Very well done documentary on the tiger, thoroughly enjoyed.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
This was absolutely beautiful! Thank you
Thank you so much!
What an excellent video ! Though it pained me to hear the numbers of slaughtered tigers, as humans attempted to show their pointless dominance. This story can be repeated many times over - just insert different species. Humans are truly the most dangerous of all killers !
Buddy tigers are the dominant ones in India not us having a gun and a rifle doesn’t change that it just gives you an edge doesn’t make you dominant
@@mitchellneuhoff9946 the fact that the humans brought the Tiger to the brink of extinction is enough to call it dominance. Its not all about physical combat. Its also the intentional slaughter. The human prepares and intentionally tracks and hunts down the tiger from advantageous positions where the Tigers will never be able to see it coming.
@@mitchellneuhoff9946 what a dumb comment. The tigers barely have any land left to even live on. They are NOT the dominant species in India.
@@mitchellneuhoff9946 tigers (and animals in general) use any and all means at their disposal, which is basically just instinct meshed with experience and limited intelligence. Similarly humans will use whatever means they deem necessary for the task at hand, and human intelligence has developed superior means of destruction over time. Any resource is fair game here, the tiger certainly isn't holding back, an obligate killer it would use greater means to kill if it had the capability to develop its own technology, but it can't because that level of intelligence is inarguably human. That said, humanity is clearly dominant a thousand times over, but that doesn't imply that an inferior organism can't take out a superior one.
@Tango Downx2 We like to leave that part out
This actually isn't my first hearing of the Champawat tiger. If you want another really good in-depth look into this story, read No Beast So Fierce, a book written by Dane Hucklebridge.
No Beast So Beautiful
What a fantastic and very informative film. Thank you for educating myself and many others. Excellent work.
Selva Lore on You Tube has narrated all Jim Corbett's stories as well as other man-eater hunters' tales. Well worth a listen.
Thanks for the tip.
Incredible and gripping story telling! Along with the needed message to the world… keep going good 👍
Dude good job! This is Well done and the mic experience will just make it better. Continue!
"As I approached the stream, the tigress left the bush and came out on the projecting rock towards me. When I was within twenty feet of her I raised the gun and found to my horror that there was a gap of about three-eighths of an inch between the barrels and the breech-block. The gun had not burst when both barrels had been fired, and would probably not burst now, but there was danger of being blinded by a blowback.
However, the risk would have to be taken, and, aligning the great blob of a bead that did duty as a sight on the tigress's open mouth, I fired.
Maybe I bobbed, or maybe the gun was not capable of throwing the cylindrical bullet accurately for twenty feet anyway, the missile missed the tigress's mouth and struck her on the right paw, from where I removed it later with my finger nails. Fortunately she was at her last gasp, and the tap on the foot was sufficient to make her lurch forward. She came to rest with her head projecting over the side of the rock.
From the moment the tigress had broken cover in her attempt to get through the gorge I had forgotten the beaters, until I was suddenly reminded of their existence by hearing a shout from a short distance up the hill, of 'There it is on the rock!' Pull it down and let us hack it to bits. I could not believe my ears whenI heard 'hack it to bits', and yet I had heard aright, for others now had caught sight of the tigress and from all over the hill side the shout was being repeated."
I READ CORBITS BOOK HE REALLY LOVED ALL THE CREATURES IN INDIAN AND LOVED AND RESPECTED THE PEOPLE HE DID NOT ENJOY KILLING TESE PROUD AND BEAUTIFUL BEASTS
But what a doco you put out. I loved it, It was really good 👍 iv watched all your videos after seeing this particular one. Keep up the good content.
Just found your channel yesterday and I'm hooked! Thank you for putting so much work into your videos and making them so engaging.
Awesome! Thank you!
Bite force has never been accurately measured between Tigers and Lions. Most agree now that it is equal .
Masterfully done video. This is the first video of yours I've watched.
As a young boy I was being trained to hunt deer in the mountains of California. I even got good with my rifle by throwing a tin can into the air and keeping it bouncing higher and higher from firing from my hip. But I could never make myself kill a beautiful buck deer or any other animal. I now own four stray cats that I enjoy watching, holding and sleeping with.
I've read most of the books of Jim corbet, my favourite is man eating leopard of Rudraprayag, Thanks for making this awesome video on this subject, luv from India🚩
Thanks very much 😀
Great video. Human greed always brought worst results from nature, as it was in this case.
W video. I enjoyed watching this a lot. Subscribed 🔥💗
Yay! Thank you!
Great video. I regret not watching it sooner! All should be like this!
I'm not the only one rooting for the tiger in the story, right?
I did too
8 billion humans, a plague on the earth
no, it's hard to not root for the animal (ANY animal, in fact) when there are just a few thousand of the animal species left, vs billions of humans.
We must protect these beautiful majestic animals. The beauty of the world depends on it.
I love your videos and the amount of effort you put into them🥰 keep it up!
Thanks so much 🙏 😃
Tigers are one of the few animals that will actively seek out revenge. The Chapawat Tiger was the victim, not the villain. Tigers are also very adaptable, which is also why she was so hard to catch or spot until she had claimed another life. The moral of this story is this: human, as usual, is the real villain of this story. R.I.P. tigress
SMH
This was very enjoyable, and informative
The narrative, research..I'm subscribed, addicted to your channel. Thank you
Thanks for your great information and the great effort you had to put into making this video.. thumbs up bro
Usually you don’t find information mixed with nice graphics. Usually animal videos are just facts and what not. Really nice narration voice as well.
Terrefing?! I find this statement very naiv! 31 (unconfirmed) deaths through tiger attacks in 2020, estimated 15.000 deaths for the soccer world championship in 2022! Thats what I call "terrefing"!
Deaths due to what but ? Bad crowd management or fans killing each other ?
You and your channel are awesome. Kudos!
Thank you very much!
This sounds like the Tigers wanting revenge.
Its always human fault that causes a tiger attack. The typical narrative
I enjoyed your video. Thanks.
I am loving your videos!! But this one is by far my favorite!! The suspense and the use of the right music to set the mood is just sheer perfection!!
Thank you so much for your videos.
Super dank story. Was a pleasure, I loved every second of it. Thank you Sir ;)
I really felt emotional when you narrated the Tigress' death. She had a rough life, and ended up killed by the same people who forced to become a "beast".
It's so terrible that so many tigers, leopards, elephants and other animals are killed for sport or other remedies for people. I applaud all the efforts to save all the animals that are almost extinct. Elephant tusk and rhino horns aren't going to improve your sex life or ornaments. We are in danger of losing so many animals. Save the animals, 🙏 please. Thank you for your excellent storytelling. 🙏
Thumbs up, subscribed and I dinged the bell. Thank you, I enjoyed this.
Thanks very much 😀
Hey can you add standard measurements in with your metric. We here in the USA don't get to use it enough to be remotely familiar with it. Thank u for the video it's appreciated
People don’t realize how strong some animals are like bears and tigers
I'm digging your storytelling.
Absolutely awesome, thanks for sharing! 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
"Living with Tigers" and This one are the best documentaries I have seen.
Inspired by this episode, I looked Corbett up on Wiki.
Absolutely blew me away. He had a very brave, and very adventurious life as a real hero (tigers were a hobby) and was much sought after for his excellent management skills.
Devoted to his family, he took care of them all and was highly admired by Indians who worked or were led by him into the front Lines of WWI. A good commander who cared about his 'Native' troops, only one was lost by the end of the war.
He grew up experiencing a perfect boys childhood of adventure and recognised as brilliant by Gen Roberts (best of all Victorian era Generals) the curious thing is he never, ever married.
Truly, how lucky can a man be ? Have nothing but pure envy of him . . . What a life !
very informative and great video...
Good job. keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
Man hunting a Man Eaten Tiger, brings only three cartridges with him? Don't believe this this to be so, think it was added for suspense..
Such a great video, and so moving at the thank you for doing these videos to show people that the action of a few should not condemn the whole species.
OMFG... that "except for when they do" scene... rewatched it several times in rapid succession, & it is just so terrifying... have chills... okay... back to the vid.
The way you tell it makes me feel like this could make AN AMAZING movie
Thank you so much for your beautiful and most importantly, educational video about Tigers. I hope humans will leave them alone. Poachers..well I must say, I'm too much of a lady to say what I'd like to do to them, but give them a job to make up for the money they would get. All I know is that any and all killing of Tigers has to stop, and let's also let the Tigers expand their range. After all, we are the ones who took it from them!
Thank you 💛 for this.
What a great narrator!
Oh my gosh that tiger jumping at that guy in the beginning... that's intense!
Outstanding video. Subbed.
Thanks, I appreciate it 🙏
The end of this video made me tear up.
That was a really good video. Thank You😎😎😎
13:00 Britishers considered India's Wildlife as Vermin and put bounty for it.
So they killed Tiger, Lion, Leopard and Cheetah (to extinction).
"Did receive injuries to his arm" well that's one way to say his hand was bitten off by a tiger. Probably doesn't put the most accurate spin on it, ya know? I don't think the guy with one remaining hand would put it like that but it is one way to say it.
“Enslaved alcohol drinkers” could be applied to most workers in the United States.
Ive seen they now make tiger cages, its the same concept as the shark cages or gator cages. They can put two in one cage, drop you off in their territory and leave you there for them to come up to these cages so you can get afew pictures. I think id do the gator one, maybe even the shark one but the lion/tiger cage idk probably not for me
Very nice video ! Credits to the maker !
6:12 As a German I have never heard of that. Were do you get the info? I'm just curious.
yea, it sounds pretty sus haha. Never heard of it and I'm sure it's a fabrication.
Detailed oriented, well done...
I've read Corbett 's books many a times.many discrepancies between ur and Corbett s version.
Wonderful video !
Thank you very much!
Lions, tigers, bears, elephants, rhinos, gorillas and many more are doomed to be a distant memory.
First Timer and Wild World noob here. Fascinating video, instant sub with noti’s on. The ‘97 tiger that tracked a poacher that shot it or at it? I gotta know more bout that.
Very good narration
Thank you kindly!
If we only new what we were doing to the animals back then,never thinking about the future
"The Champawat Tigress was not only a Man-eater, but a Man-made Man-eater" Dane Hucklebridge, No Beast So Fierce.
Great video, however by 13:20 I was about to puke and had to guess the rest. Looks like I have a soft spot in my heart for the Tiger. So, we helped create the man eating tiger?!
Karma doesn't discriminate nor forget! New sub.
Thanks for sharing.
