I've come to the conclusion that it was a Liger. It was probably the possession of a wealthy local aristocrat which bred a male lion with a female tiger and the Liger escaped captivity. It's really not that far fetched of an idea when you consider the exotic pets that much of the French aristocracy owned during this period.

@josephguillerey4391 they also said the beast killed by attacking the necks and crawling on its belly to attack which really sounds like a lion. I wish we can know this stuff dang.
I heard a theory that it was a hyena that a nobleman bought and it escaped. This is backed up by witnesses hearing "maniacal laughter," before an attack, which is how they sound when they bark. Also the victims skulls were crushed, which is also how hyenas kill, having one of the strongest jaws in the mammillian kingdom.
Lots of interesting theories. The counterpoint to the hyena theory is that hyenas couldn’t have likely survived the harsh winters and instead there were lots of kills during the cold seasons.
@@Quincy_Morris Awesome a response after I posted my thing 3 years ago. Anyhow I was about to post about how hyenas will naturally dig into a burrow. MAYBE survive a few light French winters to keep on killing? Then eventually froze and the hunters later killed another large wolf and put it in a museum?

@@rollothewalker5535 Problem is that the hyena associated with the beast was a Striped Hyena, not A spotted Hyena and records even mention during the Beast of Gevaudan craze a Striped hyena was shot and killed under the assumption that it was the beast

One documentary I saw said the Beast was a spotted hyena. It's body is stuffed and at the Louvre. It's not on display because it is in such bad shape. But in the doc the museum people showed the doc crew the critter. So, apparently it was a spotted hyena.
One thing's for sure: the argument that a farmer wouldn't know how to fashion his own bullets/ammunition is ridiculous. Basically EVERYONE made their own bullets back then, especially the lower classes. Everyone who shot guns also owned a bullet mold to pour the molten lead into, and a little cutter to clip off any excess lead, forming the bullet into a perfectly spherical ball. These pieces of equipment would be made to match the bore diameter for whatever caliber of gun/s the person used. So, you can definitely throw that argument out the window! In fact, the super-rich were probably just about the only people who didn't have to make their own bullets.
I've heard theories that the beast may have been a hyena, but hearing the part about it being able to leap into trees and having a tassel at the end of its tail definitely makes it sound more like a lion.

Oh puh-lease.! Bullet molds were part and parcel of a gun kit! If you couldn't fashion bullets, you didn't shoot your gun! You melt the metal in a long handled spoon over the fire, pour it in the mold (that were like scissors w/ the mold at the end). Once poured- wait to harden then open the handles and drop out a hot bullet. When cooled fully you shave off the bump where you poured it and the shavings go back in the box that holds your lead.
@@mangot589 Not everyone, quite the opposite actually. Only hunters knew how to make their own ammo....and they weren't that numerous. Farmers (and other artisans) wouldn't have known how to make bullets because they didn't own guns or rifles in the first place - to defend their cattle and sheep from predators they used dogs.
Yeah, it was probably a lion. The idea of a serial killer (even using trained animals) seems little bit too crazy to me. The beast used its claws during the attack, so it couldn't be a canid. blog.nationalgeographic.org/2016/09/27/solving-the-mystery-of-the-18th-century-killer-beast-of-gevaudan/
Didn’t they make this into a movie? “the Brotherhood of the Wolf” was its title, I believe. I remember there being a lion that was somebody’s pet, and it was dressed up as some nightmarish monster, and people believed it to be a Wolf.
@1957khartung No I'm not. The beast was described as making a sound akin to laughter. Not many animals make that kind of sound. It was in a documentary.
@1957khartung Not a mesonychid, lol. They were long dead even before the ice age started. Most probably a liger. Explains the large size, colour, claws so big that may look like hooves, long tail, and others.
There was a history Channel special back in 2009 "The Real Wolfman". Where the team went to the Natural History museum vault and examined the taxidermist remains of the Beast of Gevaudan. And the data came back it was a Hyena. Many people don't realize Hyenas are feline not cannid.
That is not true. The report established by French experts in the fifties reconstructed a hybrid between a lion and a wolf that the Roman soldiers used to breed.
well this was a good story, i always thought the beast was a hyena, due to people saying it had spots. yet, a lion would be just as dangerous, or it could have been a direwolf, really huge prehistoric wolves though i would have to do more research to see if direwolves actually existed. still this was a great story. really loved it
There was a documentary on this where it was a trained hyena. It's been a while since I have seen it, and if I remember correctly the animal was stuffed. There was a hyena that was stuffed, and I think the conclusion was that it could have been the beast. It does at lease seem a little plausible.
Still surprised you didn't mention the theory that the beast was a hyena. I think that this is another example of the single cause fallacy. Why not have multiple causes? An exotic animal, possibly with rabies, on the loose; a particularly large wolf pack; rabid dogs attacking people; and good old fashioned mass hysteria could turn isolated incidents into a nightmare.
I’m going with the trained dog? Hyena? For a serial killer, which would be pretty brilliant, actually. I could be wrong, but I remember seeing something where some of the autopsies indicated sexual assault.🤔 send the dog in first, then come in later🤷♀️. The hysteria surrounding the beast would be perfect cover. I think the farmer is the guilty party.
sexual assault cases were not easy to tell back then the wolf could of attack the genitalia or injured it many creatures go for the genitalia of a person possible it could of been confused for sexual assault
It is possible that the creature was a hybrid between a lion and a Leopard. Menagerie's had to have both creatures, and they are known to interbreed with one another in captivity. And I'm sure that if a living cub was found from this union then the rare kitten would be worth quite a lot of coin. It was also a common thing for royals to have their own private zoos. So if a big cat hybrid escaped during transport to a high ranking figure's personal menagerie and escaped within the thick woods and target rich environment of Gevaudan, with fallow, roe and red deer as well as wolves, boar, bear, livestock and the shepherds tending the herds. It would stay within the region, targeting livestock and human's more often b/c its not used to fighting wild animals for a meal, as well as being used to being fed by humans. As far as animal attacks, those on livestock and humans have been done by inexperienced youngsters, or animals that are too old to catch normal prey. This has been the case on multiple occasions in Africa and India when people have been attacked and killed by lions, leopards and tigers.
Concerning the supposed silver bullet, perhaps one needs to go back to medieval beliefs about the nature of minerals and such. For instance the alchemists' drive to make gold was less about creating wealth than it was to create a beautiful, incorruptible substance thought to have religious significance. I do not know right now what beliefs may have existed about silver.
These incidents followed the Seven Years' War. European battles in that war were fought in Saxony, Prussia and a number of other places. I was born and raised in the wilderness and have a great deal of knowledge of animals. There are many aspects about The Beast that do not make sense according to known animal behaviour. For one thing, wild predators seldom target humans as prey, especially when there are sheep, goats, poultry , etc. in a rural farming area. We hear of the terrible attacks on humans yet a rogue animal of this nature would surely also attack herds yet we have no reports of that that I know of. I wonder if there was more than one beast, perhaps the sub-adult male lion suggested as well as large wolves. Could they have escaped from a menagerie in one of the areas where battles were fought in the war? Unused to hunting wild prey, did they learn to scavenge corpses after the battles, thus making human flesh their preferred food? So, as a writer and researcher, I would look at records from the war, if any estates containing menageries were damaged or abandoned. It also makes sense that the wolves, said to be extra large and perhaps not exactly like wild wolves, could have been specially bred or crossbred in a menagerie. It would not take a lot for such animals to travel from Germany to the south of France.
Realisitically, most of the attacks were caused by multiple wolves at once. That would explain why people viewed the beast as so damn big. And a few other attacks would've been caused by escaped zoo animals (asian lion and hyean, which explains a few other descriptions of the beast) and wild armored war dog (which explains a few other descriptions of the beast). So it was tough conditions in the french countryside that made packs of wolves more aggressive and bold.
Gevaudan is the king of the monsters: the only one who had a country worried and sending part of its military to hunt it. I am honestly disappointed to see how it's not commonly represented in popular media; should be as famous as Dracula
Welp, sounds an awful lot like a Maned Wolf to me, they grow to upwards of a meter in height and a meter and a half in length, reddish brown fur, sometimes spots on its side, tuffed tail, long legs that it uses to leap great distances
@@samrizzardi2213 They also eat fruits, yes, but from what i know they are actually omnivores, and i dunno, maybe one somehow got to france somehow and aquired a taste for human flesh, being omnivorous means they are opportunistic. Lets also not forget it's still a big, wild animal, it could probably still be able to hunt a human, or at least a woman/child especially young ones, it made sense in my mind, judging from the fact that those represented most of the victims. But you do make a good point, it had to be the "perfect storm" for it to have happened.
Hello, here to fill in some gaps. My understanding is that Chastel and two of his sons led Antione's men into a bog on purpose. It was a joke, one that Antione didn't appreciate. He had all three of them thrown in jail and they were released when he returned to the king. The chastel family is very interesting in that some in the village said john was a devout religious man, others refereed to him as "the son of a witch". Some even suspect that John and/or his son Antione chastel were the creators and masters of the beast. John allegedly had a large red mastiff dog and some say he could have cross bred it with a wolf and raised the pup to be a killer. After the attacks resumed, John melted down a silver coin of the virgin mary and crafted it into a bullet -- it's not that he thought silver would kill the beast but that shooting it with a blessed bullet would. Supposedly, John went out at night and sat in a tree and read the bible while waiting for the beast. Sure enough it walked into a clearing and looked at him, he then shot and killed it. He even tried to take the corpse to the king in order to receive a reward, but the body had decomposed by the time he reached the castle and the king ordered it to be buried. Chastel received no reward. Also, others question how john managed to kill the beast so easily and why didn't he just go out and do that before? This adds credence to the theory that he was somehow involved as perhaps the animal recognized him. Anyway, this is a fascinating story and you should all look into it. There are so many intricate details that go into this bout of mass hysteria.
It was either a serial killer who knew how to make it look like a monster did it or most probably the area had a huge number of wolves of certain unique size
Liliger/Liger or a Lion .. The tassel tail, tremendous size, red fur and roar clearly explains this, even the spots can match the hybrids I mentioned :^) Not a wolf or hyena
Can't be a liger/Lililger since ligers and Liligers didn't exist back then(The first liliger was born in 1943 and The first liger cub litter was born in 1799 in India whereas the first attacks from the beast were documented in 1765)
Alot of these theories are wierd. If there were so many giant wolves, surely their existence would have been revealed? Giant animals dont just appear out of nowhere to be that big they at least have a steady food source. Of course a farmer could know how to fashion a bullet. They are known for possessing firearms. And regarding the beast, as I said, whatcwas their food source?
This is such an interesting story & there's a fantastic film made about it that came out several years ago. One thing that stands out as odd is the reported human fatalities attributed to wolves. It seems more likely that wolves would attack livestock than actual people-those numbers seem high. I think the wolves were being blamed for things they didn't do just like wolves & coyotes are now.
Nice clip. There where so many victims in an so large aerea of land that this could not caused by a single animal/biest. 100 death and about 100 more woundet victims, no, there must be more than one. In that time every one knows a wolf. Wolfs hunts as a pack not alone. The most possible theorie to me ist a hybrid dog mayby camouflaged in fur and trained by men to kill people.
@@kamelleon9131 The Story is well known throughout Europe and many parts of the World. You only need a good map to see that there must be more than one creature. Some Attacks took place nerly at the same time many miles in between...
The big bad wolf just wants to play. It will be quite fun the wolf will say. What kind of game shall we play YOU will say. A game of hide and seek YOU shall hide and EYE shall seek. 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10... Ready or not here EYE come. 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕
Bonjour : J'ai vu les émmissions sur la bête du Gévaudan. (3 hybrides). Lettre du comte de Tournon. « Mr Antoine et moi nous étant séparés pour tenir plus de pays, j’envoyais mon piqueur au bois avec mon limier, il détourna le vrai loup avec sa louve » (entendre par là la vrai bête avec sa compagne). « Je fis avertir Monsieur Antoine d’être sur ses gardes, ce qu’il fit, je fis donc attaquer le fusil de Bruasc, ce jeune homme que je voulais procurer à Dupond, lui rata dessus à quatre pas, c’est-à-dire sur le mâle, voyant qu’il avait passé l’enceinte, je lui donnais mes chiens à deux heures après midi, qui le suivirent jusqu’à cinq avec une chaleur qui nous fendait, enfin ils se rebutèrent, le quittèrent et nous rejoignirent à 6 heures, le loup vint pour attaquer des petits bergers qui gardaient des vaches ; il trouva en sentinelle un nommé Rainchard, allemand, garde de Monsieur le Duc d’Orléans, qui lui lâcha un coup de carabine qui entra par la cuisse gauche et s’arrêta à l’épaule droite entre cuir et chair ; le loup gagna le pays et alla mourir à deux mortelles lieues de là, on le chercha trois jours inutilement, enfin un paysan le trouva sentant déjà mauvais, le porta à Saint-Flour, reçut la rétribution du Subdélégué » (Monsieur de Montluc), « dépouille son corps à la diable, lui coupe la tête et les oreilles jette son corps dans l’eau et s’en va faire la quête de village en village nous le savons. On y envoie deux gardes, on rapporte la tête et les oreilles, on pêche son corps tout infecté, on oublie pas la peau » (sans doute obtenue par les perquisitions signalées par le rapport Magné de Marolles), « enfin tout nous parvient au Besset » (château du… où Antoine et ses hommes sont en résidence), « nous nous bouchons le nez, nous fouillons ce vilain corps, nous trouvons la balle, nous reconnaissons son pied, nous voyons que le gauche est usé en dedans (l’animal) ayant été blessé jadis à l’épaule ou à la jambe ; nous trouvons le côté du pied en dehors tout neuf. Nous l’avions reconnu pour être blessé en ce qu’il a appuyé à faux dans les endroits où nous pouvions en revoir, nous trouvons que son col est aussi gros que sa tête, que ses oreilles sont petites et larges, que son poitrail est prodigieux, que son poil est court et de la couleur d’un veau » (c’est-à-dire roux comme le confirme l’abbé Trocelier pour les vaches du pays), « qu’il a une raie noire sur le dos large d’un doigt » (10 à 11 cm environ), « que son pied est rond comme celui d’un mâtin » (chien mastiff, molosse, dogue) ; « enfin que c’est notre loup dévorant » (la vraie bête du Gévaudan), « nous ignorons si sa louve » (sa femelle aperçue par les piqueurs) « à des inclinaisons aussi meurtrières, c’est ce que le temps nous apprendra. » (Lettre du comte Hugues-François de Tournon-Meyre, veneur réputé du Vivarais étant venu au cours de l’été 1765 renforcer l’équipage de François Antoine pour ses chasses à la bête du Gévaudan. Transcription P.P.L. BERTHELOT 5/07/2021.) Nous pouvons voir sur son site Facebook : Amis qui aiment la Bête du Gévaudan de P.P.L. BERTHELOT, que le texte original écrit avec la plume, est bien scanné.Cette lettre se trouve bien aux archives nationales (Archives Nationales, Chartrier de Tournon, papiers personnels, 513AP/19, dossier 1).Les archives du comte de Tournon tout comme le rapport Magné de Marolles (BNF-Paris) confirment qu'il s'agissait bien de la vraie bête du Gévaudan et que ce n'était pas un pur loup puisqu'elle avait un pied de chien. Il y avait donc bien plusieurs Bêtes tueuses avec du gène d’un chien mâtin, car un pur loup ne peut pas avoir un pied de ce style. « Dans cette lettre-rapport du comte de Tournon, ce sont les louvetiers (valet de chiens et valet de limier de l'équipage de la Grande Louveterie Royale voire les gardes-louvetiers) qui parlent. Ils donnent leurs avis sur ce qu'ils connaissaient le mieux ; autrement dit la comparaison, non pas avec un chien de ferme (un matin), mais avec un chien mâtin de leurs équipages dont la race était bien fixée à cette époque. Ils chassent un loup, le porte-arquebuse François Antoine en a décidé ainsi, alors ils désignent logiquement cet animal ''loup'', mais son pied est comme celui de leurs mâtins d'équipage, celui d'un chien, pas un pied rond de loup » (Propos de Patrick Berthelot sur le site facebook : Amis qui aiment la bête du Gévaudan). Les propos qui suivent entre guillemets, sont également de Patrick Berthelot sur le même site : « Les autres témoignages provenant des chasseurs comme ceux de François Antoine, et qui étaient venus chasser des loups, n'y voyaient logiquement que des empreintes de loups. Quoi de plus normal que de trouver des empreintes de loups autour d'un cadavre dans un pays où il en existait autant ? Ensuite, il y a cette archive que j'ai retrouvée et décortiquée du rapport de l'équipage d'Antoine repris par le comte de Tournon, où les louvetiers (gardes et valets), évoquent la patte de la bête du Bois Noir (officiellement reconnue comme la Bête du Gévaudan) dotée d'un pied rond semblable à celui des mâtins qu'ils utilisaient à la vénerie. A l'ensemble, il faut ajouter un pelage roussâtre et court. Celui qui voit un simple loup là-dedans serait bien éveillé d'aller changer ses verres de lunettes de toute urgence ! » Après que Rainchard a tué ce chien mâtin croisé avec un loup, ou on peut éventuellement comprendre pourquoi Antoine a voulu par la suite tué également un loup, car c’était un loup entier et empaillé et non découpé en morceau qu’il devait ramener à Paris (pour être certain de toucher une prime). Mais ce loup des chazes empaillé en y regardant de plus près avait des côtes différentes des loups, ce qui permetté à l annimal de ce retourné sur lui même : seul les chiens du style Dog ont ce genre d'anomalie, donc c'etait encore une fois un chien croisé avec un loup, idem por la bête tué par Chastel. Et oui la science moderne répond à beaucoup de question. L'annimal de Chazes avait également provoqué quelques attaques car des blessures causé par l’homme sur l’animal étaient également présente et quelques personnes l’ont reconnu). Cette analyse MODERNE du rapport Marin qui suit, a permis d’établir la nature exacte d'une derniére bëte du Gévaudan. «Nous avions confiés ces notes au Museum d’histoire naturel de Paris, afin d’étudier la morphologie de la bête et de la comparé à celle du loup. Cette analyse complètement inédite, nous a permis d’établir la nature exacte de la bête du Gévaudan. La bête n’est ni une Hyène, ni un singe, ni tout autres animal exotique. » Sa formule dentaire montre que cette bête est un canidé : « C’est un mâle de 109 livres (le poids normal d’un loup adulte.) Mais son museau est plus court que celui d’un loup, et sa tête plus large. L’Arcade zygomatique surdimensionné laisse deviner une mâchoire particulièrement puissante, la crête du crâne et la taille des dents appartiennent au loup, mais la hauteur du profil et le stop du museau évoque incontestablement la morphologie du chien. De manière générale, l’avant du corps est proche de celui du chien, et l’arrière ressemble à celui du loup. Loin d’être une contradiction, la coexistence des deux morphotypes nous permet d’être affirmatifs. La bête du Gévaudan est donc un hybride entre un loup et un gros chien. Sans doute d’un chien Mâtin : ces conclusions sont confirmées par la tache blanche sur le poitrail de l’animal, et la grande longueur des griffes qui trahissent la domestication » (Fin des commentaires orales dans le grand documentaire de David Teyssandier : « La bête du Gévaudan autopsie d’un mythe - Idem pour d’autres vétérinaires (j'avais soumis rapport).
If they had Circus's there or close by it could have been an escaped lion. Mor maybe a Tasmanian Wolf got there somehow. This is a very intriguing story. Thank you. I'm going to try finding more on it from some books I have. It could have been a human male wearing a skin or something. I feel that could be the most likely to me. Blessings. Keep up the excellent research. It is very much appreciated. 🙂🇨🇦🌿🕊🌿
@The Gray Ghost Ok. I was never in Australia, or anywhere where there were tigers, or, tigers or wolves of those species. They were just uneducated theories as I don't know how Tasmanian Wolves or Tigers were or w/e. It just seemed the colours and markings that were explained seemed to fit what I'd seen on a film.
@The Gray Ghost I didn't think either of us were wanting to be nasty. Just commenting on possibilities. I really do not know much about Tasmanian Wolves, Tigers or anything Tasmanian. Just a few clips I saw and though possible maybe is all. Have a great day 🙂✌

Ah thank you for saying so. Glad you enjoy the content 👍
A lion really fits the description, the people back then knew what wolves looked like and many described the beast as looking very differently
A lion doesn't really fit though. Most French historians lean more toward a spotted hyena, it has a more canine appearence
@josephguillerey4391 they also said the beast killed by attacking the necks and crawling on its belly to attack which really sounds like a lion. I wish we can know this stuff dang.
Hyenas arent that big, and I doubt that aggressive being solo.
I heard a theory that it was a hyena that a nobleman bought and it escaped. This is backed up by witnesses hearing "maniacal laughter," before an attack, which is how they sound when they bark. Also the victims skulls were crushed, which is also how hyenas kill, having one of the strongest jaws in the mammillian kingdom.

One thing's for sure: the argument that a farmer wouldn't know how to fashion his own bullets/ammunition is ridiculous. Basically EVERYONE made their own bullets back then, especially the lower classes.

In fact, the super-rich were probably just about the only people who didn't have to make their own bullets.
I've heard theories that the beast may have been a hyena, but hearing the part about it being able to leap into trees and having a tassel at the end of its tail definitely makes it sound more like a lion.

Brotherhood of the Wolf is the Fictional movie of this. Came out in 2001 made in France so it's Dubbed or Subbed.
I saw it when it premiered state-side. Neat movie . . . .
One of my favorites. Vincent Cassel was great.
I too saw it in theaters. Was a fascinating and engrossing story. Much better on the big screen imo.
The movie is not very well-known outside Europe, but it's actually an international production with an international cast and it was filmed in English. You can still easily find the DVD on Amazon. :)
Been trying to find that movie...
Patrica Brigg's book "Hunting Grounds" brought me here.
Even if it wasn't a gigantic canine, that young boy still deserved that reward for bravery, especially if it was a lion.
It was Fenrir starting the Ragnarok. Nah, just joking. For me it could be only one of those giant wolfdogs (a hybrid between a normal dog and a wolf)
If you’ve seen Teen Wolf, you have heard a bit about this before. It’s not explained the same way tho, but anyways😂😂
Or if you have any interest in werewolves at all... Or cryptids
ahah yepp
I love teen wolf
Teen Wolf explains it in an almost completely made-up way, to be precise. 😂
Really wish Deucalion would've fought the beast
It was ManBearPig. Obviously.
Duh.

Thank you for this interesting video, this is a fascinating subject, though the facts themselves were rather scary.
Oh puh-lease.! Bullet molds were part and parcel of a gun kit! If you couldn't fashion bullets, you didn't shoot your gun!
You melt the metal in a long handled spoon over the fire, pour it in the mold (that were like scissors w/ the mold at the end). Once poured- wait to harden then open the handles and drop out a hot bullet. When cooled fully you shave off the bump where you poured it and the shavings go back in the box that holds your lead.
IKR? It’s not like they trotted down to Walmart to get bullets. That would be just something everyone knew how to do.

Farmers (and other artisans) wouldn't have known how to make bullets because they didn't own guns or rifles in the first place - to defend their cattle and sheep from predators they used dogs.
I feel so sorry for animals back in those times even today in a lot of places humans can be so Very cruel. Love these videos
Hi mate, i really enjoy your vidios! Would you ever think of doing one on the book of enoch or nefflim? 😁
Nephilium? Oh there's some on here that are good! Happy TH-caming-
They mentioned The Beast of Gevaudan on MTV Teen Wolf, 1st time I've heard about it LOL
That's where my curiosity came from too lol.
"Mentioned" - It's a pretty huge plot in the fifth season.
Brotherhood of the wolf is much better than teenwolf
Either a large small subspecies or the escaped lion(s) theory make the most sense.
Great video, thank you!
Yeah, it was probably a lion. The idea of a serial killer (even using trained animals) seems little bit too crazy to me. The beast used its claws during the attack, so it couldn't be a canid.
blog.nationalgeographic.org/2016/09/27/solving-the-mystery-of-the-18th-century-killer-beast-of-gevaudan/
Didn’t they make this into a movie? “the Brotherhood of the Wolf” was its title, I believe. I remember there being a lion that was somebody’s pet, and it was dressed up as some nightmarish monster, and people believed it to be a Wolf.
Yeah I remember that movie, decent flick from what I remember.
The beast was later determined to have likely been a Hyena. It was said to have made a sound that sounded like a laugh.
Which Hyena?
Quite unlikely. Hyenas aren't the size of a donkey and don't have long tails.
@@rollothewalker5535 It's called stylized artwork.
@1957khartung No I'm not. The beast was described as making a sound akin to laughter. Not many animals make that kind of sound. It was in a documentary.
@1957khartung Not a mesonychid, lol. They were long dead even before the ice age started. Most probably a liger. Explains the large size, colour, claws so big that may look like hooves, long tail, and others.
There was a history Channel special back in 2009 "The Real Wolfman". Where the team went to the Natural History museum vault and examined the taxidermist remains of the Beast of Gevaudan. And the data came back it was a Hyena. Many people don't realize Hyenas are feline not cannid.
That is not true. The report established by French experts in the fifties reconstructed a hybrid between a lion and a wolf that the Roman soldiers used to breed.
Plus Hyenas do not climb trees or kill large victims
Anyone here cuz of PowerWolf?
well this was a good story, i always thought the beast was a hyena, due to people saying it had spots. yet, a lion would be just as dangerous, or it could have been a direwolf, really huge prehistoric wolves though i would have to do more research to see if direwolves actually existed. still this was a great story. really loved it
There was a documentary on this where it was a trained hyena. It's been a while since I have seen it, and if I remember correctly the animal was stuffed. There was a hyena that was stuffed, and I think the conclusion was that it could have been the beast. It does at lease seem a little plausible.
Send me a link
@@ronmaxwell2296 So far all I can find a copy of is in Italian th-cam.com/video/zcg5CKG8Gzo/w-d-xo.html
If you have a History Channel subscription it is here too www.historyvault.com/collections/unsolved-mysteries-and-legends/the-real-wolfman
Still surprised you didn't mention the theory that the beast was a hyena.
I think that this is another example of the single cause fallacy. Why not have multiple causes? An exotic animal, possibly with rabies, on the loose; a particularly large wolf pack; rabid dogs attacking people; and good old fashioned mass hysteria could turn isolated incidents into a nightmare.
Not a hyena, not a wolf, not a lion but a hybrid according to French experts
I’m going with the trained dog? Hyena? For a serial killer, which would be pretty brilliant, actually. I could be wrong, but I remember seeing something where some of the autopsies indicated sexual assault.🤔 send the dog in first, then come in later🤷♀️. The hysteria surrounding the beast would be perfect cover. I think the farmer is the guilty party.
sexual assault cases were not easy to tell back then the wolf could of attack the genitalia or injured it many creatures go for the genitalia of a person possible it could of been confused for sexual assault
It is possible that the creature was a hybrid between a lion and a Leopard. Menagerie's had to have both creatures, and they are known to interbreed with one another in captivity. And I'm sure that if a living cub was found from this union then the rare kitten would be worth quite a lot of coin. It was also a common thing for royals to have their own private zoos.
So if a big cat hybrid escaped during transport to a high ranking figure's personal menagerie and escaped within the thick woods and target rich environment of Gevaudan, with fallow, roe and red deer as well as wolves, boar, bear, livestock and the shepherds tending the herds. It would stay within the region, targeting livestock and human's more often b/c its not used to fighting wild animals for a meal, as well as being used to being fed by humans.
As far as animal attacks, those on livestock and humans have been done by inexperienced youngsters, or animals that are too old to catch normal prey. This has been the case on multiple occasions in Africa and India when people have been attacked and killed by lions, leopards and tigers.
Do a video about Zalmoxis
Concerning the supposed silver bullet, perhaps one needs to go back to medieval beliefs about the nature of minerals and such. For instance the alchemists' drive to make gold was less about creating wealth than it was to create a beautiful, incorruptible substance thought to have religious significance.
I do not know right now what beliefs may have existed about silver.
The source of both the name of the monster "tarasque" from D&D, AND the premise for "The Brotherhood of the Wolf" film . . . .
Radiyas 13 how did it inspire the Tarrasque? I’m confused...mind explaining?
leucrotta is like la bete du gevaudan you mean
Who is here from teen wolf
There was a movie about this beast. I cant remember the name but it was good. Brotherhood of The Wolf, I found it!
Yeah most people are talking about teenwolf lol
Thank you this is great!
13:45 - I read there were two n I also read skull measurements taken from (one or both I forgot) showed it was part dog.
I need a tribute to this beast with powerwolfs new song please someone
Probably a large cat. Maybe a lioness or a Tsavo lion, which would be huge, maneless, and with man-eating tendencies. It's a fascinating mystery.
Yes, that's what even National Geographic thinks - a lion.
I really adore your videos 💜🔮
These incidents followed the Seven Years' War. European battles in that war were fought in Saxony, Prussia and a number of other places.
I was born and raised in the wilderness and have a great deal of knowledge of animals. There are many aspects about The Beast that do not make sense according to known animal behaviour. For one thing, wild predators seldom target humans as prey, especially when there are sheep, goats, poultry , etc. in a rural farming area. We hear of the terrible attacks on humans yet a rogue animal of this nature would surely also attack herds yet we have no reports of that that I know of.
I wonder if there was more than one beast, perhaps the sub-adult male lion suggested as well as large wolves. Could they have escaped from a menagerie in one of the areas where battles were fought in the war? Unused to hunting wild prey, did they learn to scavenge corpses after the battles, thus making human flesh their preferred food?
So, as a writer and researcher, I would look at records from the war, if any estates containing menageries were damaged or abandoned. It also makes sense that the wolves, said to be extra large and perhaps not exactly like wild wolves, could have been specially bred or crossbred in a menagerie. It would not take a lot for such animals to travel from Germany to the south of France.
Some people say the Beast Emily is a striped hyena but we'll never know what is the actual creature is fastened a Cryptid
I still think it's a wolf dog hybrid
Realisitically, most of the attacks were caused by multiple wolves at once. That would explain why people viewed the beast as so damn big. And a few other attacks would've been caused by escaped zoo animals (asian lion and hyean, which explains a few other descriptions of the beast) and wild armored war dog (which explains a few other descriptions of the beast). So it was tough conditions in the french countryside that made packs of wolves more aggressive and bold.
Those are shapeshifters in form of a Wolf
Gevaudan is the king of the monsters: the only one who had a country worried and sending part of its military to hunt it. I am honestly disappointed to see how it's not commonly represented in popular media; should be as famous as Dracula
Please do a video on Saint George of Lydda.
There's a really cool movie about this story called The Brotherhood of the Wolf.
Welp, sounds an awful lot like a Maned Wolf to me, they grow to upwards of a meter in height and a meter and a half in length, reddish brown fur, sometimes spots on its side, tuffed tail, long legs that it uses to leap great distances
Except maned wolves are weak, spindly fruit eaters.
@@samrizzardi2213 They also eat fruits, yes, but from what i know they are actually omnivores, and i dunno, maybe one somehow got to france somehow and aquired a taste for human flesh, being omnivorous means they are opportunistic. Lets also not forget it's still a big, wild animal, it could probably still be able to hunt a human, or at least a woman/child especially young ones, it made sense in my mind, judging from the fact that those represented most of the victims. But you do make a good point, it had to be the "perfect storm" for it to have happened.
I feel like I've heard the music playing in the video before
The Brotherhood of the Wolf is a really cool movie based upon this legend.
Yes. A most satisfactory story indeed. Movie was good too.
Everyone in the comments is like "Teen wolf" as I think "RIP Ne0;lation".
That’s very interesting
Belongs in Bloodborne
anyone here from Teen Wolf ?
Lead would be misdiagnosed as silver back then. Such metals were easily mistaken way back then.
Has any of you seen "Le pact des loups" ? Amazing french movie about this creature.
Brotherhood of the Wolf w/Mark Decascos?
Yes. That one.
Hello, here to fill in some gaps.
My understanding is that Chastel and two of his sons led Antione's men into a bog on purpose. It was a joke, one that Antione didn't appreciate. He had all three of them thrown in jail and they were released when he returned to the king. The chastel family is very interesting in that some in the village said john was a devout religious man, others refereed to him as "the son of a witch". Some even suspect that John and/or his son Antione chastel were the creators and masters of the beast. John allegedly had a large red mastiff dog and some say he could have cross bred it with a wolf and raised the pup to be a killer.
After the attacks resumed, John melted down a silver coin of the virgin mary and crafted it into a bullet -- it's not that he thought silver would kill the beast but that shooting it with a blessed bullet would. Supposedly, John went out at night and sat in a tree and read the bible while waiting for the beast. Sure enough it walked into a clearing and looked at him, he then shot and killed it.
He even tried to take the corpse to the king in order to receive a reward, but the body had decomposed by the time he reached the castle and the king ordered it to be buried. Chastel received no reward. Also, others question how john managed to kill the beast so easily and why didn't he just go out and do that before? This adds credence to the theory that he was somehow involved as perhaps the animal recognized him.
Anyway, this is a fascinating story and you should all look into it. There are so many intricate details that go into this bout of mass hysteria.
0:50 - girl's cattle chased beast away she was tending.
1:25 - people's throats were torn, their heads gnawed or eaten.
It was either a serial killer who knew how to make it look like a monster did it or most probably the area had a huge number of wolves of certain unique size
Liliger/Liger or a Lion .. The tassel tail, tremendous size, red fur and roar clearly explains this, even the spots can match the hybrids I mentioned :^) Not a wolf or hyena
Can't be a liger/Lililger since ligers and Liligers didn't exist back then(The first liliger was born in 1943 and The first liger cub litter was born in 1799 in India whereas the first attacks from the beast were documented in 1765)
There's a French movie loosly based on this, *"Brotherhood of the Wolf"* _(Le Pacte des loups)_ from 2001
Alot of these theories are wierd.
If there were so many giant wolves, surely their existence would have been revealed? Giant animals dont just appear out of nowhere to be that big they at least have a steady food source.
Of course a farmer could know how to fashion a bullet. They are known for possessing firearms.
And regarding the beast, as I said, whatcwas their food source?
This is such an interesting story & there's a fantastic film made about it that came out several years ago. One thing that stands out as odd is the reported human fatalities attributed to wolves. It seems more likely that wolves would attack livestock than actual people-those numbers seem high. I think the wolves were being blamed for things they didn't do just like wolves & coyotes are now.
whats the name of the film
For some reason the movie Brotherhood of the Wolf comes to mind..
Nice clip. There where so many victims in an so large aerea of land that this could not caused by a single animal/biest. 100 death and about 100 more woundet victims, no, there must be more than one. In that time every one knows a wolf. Wolfs hunts as a pack not alone. The most possible theorie to me ist a hybrid dog mayby camouflaged in fur and trained by men to kill people.
How tf you know?? You not even from france
@@kamelleon9131 The Story is well known throughout Europe and many parts of the World. You only need a good map to see that there must be more than one creature. Some Attacks took place nerly at the same time many miles in between...
@@udorechner6846 okay can you tell me what happened there exacly?? And a wolf can hunt alone
To kill a werewolf you have to kick it in the nuts with a silver boot.
I think this legend was somehow an inspiration of the movie Brotherhood of the Wolves
If I'm not mistaken they made a move about it called Brotherhood of the Wolf
People have encountered giant wolves before. That would be intimidating.
Making the bullet back then was not as complicated. You only needed a fore, some lead and a mold( usually sold with the gun)
The big bad wolf just wants to play.
It will be quite fun the wolf will say.
What kind of game shall we play YOU will say.
A game of hide and seek YOU shall hide and EYE shall seek.

Eye?

At least this was a carnivore, not like Australia's military actions against Emus.
My understanding is chastel was given the silver from the church after being blessed by a priest
Bonjour : J'ai vu les émmissions sur la bête du Gévaudan. (3 hybrides). Lettre du comte de Tournon.
« Mr Antoine et moi nous étant séparés pour tenir plus de pays, j’envoyais mon piqueur au bois avec mon limier, il détourna le vrai loup avec sa louve » (entendre par là la vrai bête avec sa compagne).
« Je fis avertir Monsieur Antoine d’être sur ses gardes, ce qu’il fit, je fis donc attaquer le fusil de Bruasc, ce jeune homme que je voulais procurer à Dupond, lui rata dessus à quatre pas, c’est-à-dire sur le mâle, voyant qu’il avait passé l’enceinte, je lui donnais mes chiens à deux heures après midi, qui le suivirent jusqu’à cinq avec une chaleur qui nous fendait, enfin ils se rebutèrent, le quittèrent et nous rejoignirent à 6 heures, le loup vint pour attaquer des petits bergers qui gardaient des vaches ; il trouva en sentinelle un nommé Rainchard, allemand, garde de Monsieur le Duc d’Orléans, qui lui lâcha un coup de carabine qui entra par la cuisse gauche et s’arrêta à l’épaule droite entre cuir et chair ; le loup gagna le pays et alla mourir à deux mortelles lieues de là, on le chercha trois jours inutilement, enfin un paysan le trouva sentant déjà mauvais, le porta à Saint-Flour, reçut la rétribution du Subdélégué » (Monsieur de Montluc), « dépouille son corps à la diable, lui coupe la tête et les oreilles jette son corps dans l’eau et s’en va faire la quête de village en village nous le savons.
On y envoie deux gardes, on rapporte la tête et les oreilles, on pêche son corps tout infecté, on oublie pas la peau » (sans doute obtenue par les perquisitions signalées par le rapport Magné de Marolles), « enfin tout nous parvient au Besset » (château du… où Antoine et ses hommes sont en résidence), « nous nous bouchons le nez, nous fouillons ce vilain corps, nous trouvons la balle, nous reconnaissons son pied, nous voyons que le gauche est usé en dedans (l’animal) ayant été blessé jadis à l’épaule ou à la jambe ; nous trouvons le côté du pied en dehors tout neuf. Nous l’avions reconnu pour être blessé en ce qu’il a appuyé à faux dans les endroits où nous pouvions en revoir, nous trouvons que son col est aussi gros que sa tête, que ses oreilles sont petites et larges, que son poitrail est prodigieux, que son poil est court et de la couleur d’un veau » (c’est-à-dire roux comme le confirme l’abbé Trocelier pour les vaches du pays), « qu’il a une raie noire sur le dos large d’un doigt » (10 à 11 cm environ), « que son pied est rond comme celui d’un mâtin » (chien mastiff, molosse, dogue) ; « enfin que c’est notre loup dévorant » (la vraie bête du Gévaudan), « nous ignorons si sa louve » (sa femelle aperçue par les piqueurs) « à des inclinaisons aussi meurtrières, c’est ce que le temps nous apprendra. » (Lettre du comte Hugues-François de Tournon-Meyre, veneur réputé du Vivarais étant venu au cours de l’été 1765 renforcer l’équipage de François Antoine pour ses chasses à la bête du Gévaudan. Transcription P.P.L. BERTHELOT 5/07/2021.) Nous pouvons voir sur son site Facebook : Amis qui aiment la Bête du Gévaudan de P.P.L. BERTHELOT, que le texte original écrit avec la plume, est bien scanné.Cette lettre se trouve bien aux archives nationales (Archives Nationales, Chartrier de Tournon, papiers personnels, 513AP/19, dossier 1).Les archives du comte de Tournon tout comme le rapport Magné de Marolles (BNF-Paris) confirment qu'il s'agissait bien de la vraie bête du Gévaudan et que ce n'était pas un pur loup puisqu'elle avait un pied de chien.
Il y avait donc bien plusieurs Bêtes tueuses avec du gène d’un chien mâtin, car un pur loup ne peut pas avoir un pied de ce style. « Dans cette lettre-rapport du comte de Tournon, ce sont les louvetiers (valet de chiens et valet de limier de l'équipage de la Grande Louveterie Royale voire les gardes-louvetiers) qui parlent. Ils donnent leurs avis sur ce qu'ils connaissaient le mieux ; autrement dit la comparaison, non pas avec un chien de ferme (un matin), mais avec un chien mâtin de leurs équipages dont la race était bien fixée à cette époque.
Ils chassent un loup, le porte-arquebuse François Antoine en a décidé ainsi, alors ils désignent logiquement cet animal ''loup'', mais son pied est comme celui de leurs mâtins d'équipage, celui d'un chien, pas un pied rond de loup » (Propos de Patrick Berthelot sur le site facebook : Amis qui aiment la bête du Gévaudan). Les propos qui suivent entre guillemets, sont également de Patrick Berthelot sur le même site : « Les autres témoignages provenant des chasseurs comme ceux de François Antoine, et qui étaient venus chasser des loups, n'y voyaient logiquement que des empreintes de loups. Quoi de plus normal que de trouver des empreintes de loups autour d'un cadavre dans un pays où il en existait autant ? Ensuite, il y a cette archive que j'ai retrouvée et décortiquée du rapport de l'équipage d'Antoine repris par le comte de Tournon, où les louvetiers (gardes et valets), évoquent la patte de la bête du Bois Noir (officiellement reconnue comme la Bête du Gévaudan) dotée d'un pied rond semblable à celui des mâtins qu'ils utilisaient à la vénerie. A l'ensemble, il faut ajouter un pelage roussâtre et court. Celui qui voit un simple loup là-dedans serait bien éveillé d'aller changer ses verres de lunettes de toute urgence ! » Après que Rainchard a tué ce chien mâtin croisé avec un loup, ou on peut éventuellement comprendre pourquoi Antoine a voulu par la suite tué également un loup, car c’était un loup entier et empaillé et non découpé en morceau qu’il devait ramener à Paris (pour être certain de toucher une prime). Mais ce loup des chazes empaillé en y regardant de plus près avait des côtes différentes des loups, ce qui permetté à l annimal de ce retourné sur lui même : seul les chiens du style Dog ont ce genre d'anomalie, donc c'etait encore une fois un chien croisé avec un loup, idem por la bête tué par Chastel. Et oui la science moderne répond à beaucoup de question. L'annimal de Chazes avait également provoqué quelques attaques car des blessures causé par l’homme sur l’animal étaient également présente et quelques personnes l’ont reconnu). Cette analyse MODERNE du rapport Marin qui suit, a permis d’établir la nature exacte d'une derniére bëte du Gévaudan. «Nous avions confiés ces notes au Museum d’histoire naturel de Paris, afin d’étudier la morphologie de la bête et de la comparé à celle du loup. Cette analyse complètement inédite, nous a permis d’établir la nature exacte de la bête du Gévaudan. La bête n’est ni une Hyène, ni un singe, ni tout autres animal exotique. »
Sa formule dentaire montre que cette bête est un canidé : « C’est un mâle de 109 livres (le poids normal d’un loup adulte.) Mais son museau est plus court que celui d’un loup, et sa tête plus large.
L’Arcade zygomatique surdimensionné laisse deviner une mâchoire particulièrement puissante, la crête du crâne et la taille des dents appartiennent au loup, mais la hauteur du profil et le stop du museau évoque incontestablement la morphologie du chien. De manière générale, l’avant du corps est proche de celui du chien, et l’arrière ressemble à celui du loup. Loin d’être une contradiction, la coexistence des deux morphotypes nous permet d’être affirmatifs. La bête du Gévaudan est donc un hybride entre un loup et un gros chien. Sans doute d’un chien Mâtin : ces conclusions sont confirmées par la tache blanche sur le poitrail de l’animal, et la grande longueur des griffes qui trahissent la domestication » (Fin des commentaires orales dans le grand documentaire de David Teyssandier : « La bête du Gévaudan autopsie d’un mythe -
Idem pour d’autres vétérinaires (j'avais soumis rapport).
I love your voice 😥😥💙💙
Always thought it would have made a cool movie
I like the narrator voice.
Reminds me of Ralph from Rampage (the movie).
Better yet....Deucalion with Ballasko's talons.he could've stole the power
If they had Circus's there or close by it could have been an escaped lion. Mor maybe a Tasmanian Wolf got there somehow. This is a very intriguing story. Thank you. I'm going to try finding more on it from some books I have. It could have been a human male wearing a skin or something. I feel that could be the most likely to me. Blessings. Keep up the excellent research. It is very much appreciated. 🙂🇨🇦🌿🕊🌿
That gnawed people's heads off???
@@dravenocklost4253 Possibly. Who knows? Any better ideas?
@The Gray Ghost Ok. I was never in Australia, or anywhere where there were tigers, or, tigers or wolves of those species. They were just uneducated theories as I don't know how Tasmanian Wolves or Tigers were or w/e. It just seemed the colours and markings that were explained seemed to fit what I'd seen on a film.
@The Gray Ghost Possibly and it could be a Liger or Tigon.
@The Gray Ghost I didn't think either of us were wanting to be nasty. Just commenting on possibilities. I really do not know much about Tasmanian Wolves, Tigers or anything Tasmanian. Just a few clips I saw and though possible maybe is all. Have a great day 🙂✌
Teen wolf anyone?
Teenwolfers assemble please
Anyone thinks that it was a Tasmanian Tiger it kind of fits the description (wolf,red fur ,flat head, large, stripes)
Why was this re-uploaded?

You forgot the girl who fended it off with a pitchfork on a bridge! There was a statue made of her in honor.
So this is brotherhood of the wolf.
The captain's name was Duhamel, not Dumal.
Yeah I'm fin to be sad Gerald on was a large wolf sounds like more feline and canine just being honest
Was thinking tiger what do you think?
