Panar Man-eating Leopard

The Leopard of Panar was a man-eating Male Leopard alleged to have been killed and eaten more than 400 people over a period of several years in Kumaon District of Northern India in the early 20th century, after wounding by a poacher had left to unable it unable to hunt normal pray.
The Panar Leopard was hunted down and killed in September 1910 by famed big cat hunter and author Jim Corbett.
This was the deadliest of all man-eating leopards but it gained much less reputation than Man -Eating leopard of Rudraprayag (also shot down by Jim Corbett in May, 1926). As in own words of Jim Corbett in his famous book ''The Temple Tiger and more Man-Eaters of Kumaon'' that as Panar Leopard had worked in very remote areas where more often the kills were not reported to local police stations and no bulletins were published by Government until very late.

Jim Corbett failed to hunt down the leopard in his first attempt but he came back after some months and was successful in his second attempt while facing a very unfavorable and dreadful situation.
The leopard was shot in pitch dark only with a guess shot and was wounded. Corbett tracked him at night under very unfavorable conditions and at last was successful in bring down this devil.

The Champawat Tiger was a female Bengal tiger responsible for an estimated 436 deaths in Nepal and the Kumaon area of India, mostly during the 19th century. Her attacks have been listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest number of fatalities from a tiger. She was shot in 1907 by Jim Corbett.

HISTORY

The tiger began her attacks in a region of Nepal close to the Himalayas during the late 19th century, with people being ambushed by the dozen as they walked through the jungle. Hunters were sent in to kill the tiger, but she managed to evade them. Eventually, the Nepalese Army was called in. Despite failing to capture or kill the tiger, soldiers managed to force the tiger to abandon her territory and drive her across the border (river Sarda) into India, where she continued her killing activities in the Kumaon District. She eventually grew bolder, and began killing people in broad daylight and prowling around villages. Life across the region grew paralyzed, with men often refusing to leave their huts for work after hearing the tiger's roars from the forest.

In 1907, the tiger was killed by British hunter Jim Corbett. The tiger had killed a 16-year-old girl in the town of Champawat, and left a trail of blood and limbs, which Corbett followed. Corbett found the tiger and shot her dead the next day, a dramatic feat confirmed by about 300 villagers. A postmortem on the tigress showed the upper and lower canine teeth on the right side of her mouth were broken, the upper one in half, the lower one right down to the bone. This injury, according to Corbett, probably prevented her from hunting her natural prey.
