In the early 1900s, the Nepalese region close to the Himalayas was terrorized by the most famous and bloodthirsty man-eating animal. Men, women, and children disappeared into the jungle. The attacks were so frequent and violent that the locals started talking about demons and punishments from the gods. But the Bengal tigress was the culprit! Champawat tigress was forced to hunt humans, but I'll tell you about that later.
After people found out that people were disappearing because of the tigress. People started hunting for her, all attempts were in vain. The number of people killed has reached 200! I had to turn to the army. Hundreds of people with guns combed the region in search of her.

Fleeing from them, the Champawat Tigress crossed the border with India and stopped in the Kumaon region. 

Settled in the forests of India, Champawat Tigress went back to her old ways. People began to disappear in the Kumaon area. The tigress became bolder: She began to hunt people in broad daylight and prowl near settlements. Life in the region has been paralyzed. When people heard the roar of a tiger coming from the forest, they stopped leaving their homes and going to work. It's been like this for 4 years! Prizes were awarded for the capture of Champawat Tigress, hunters and even teams of Gurkhas (volunteer army) were sent from the garrison to Almora. Despite this, the number of victims was growing... Desperate, the commissariat turned to Jim Corbett. The famous ogre hunter. But Corbett agreed on 2 conditions:

1)To recall the Gurkhas, so as not to be accidentally shot.
2)Remove the barrier. He didn't want to be known as a money hunter. His terms were accepted immediately.

The year is 1907. A new victim. The animal grabbed a 16-year-old girl who was collecting firewood. Following the trail of her blood and bone fragments, the hunter tracked down the tigress. He shot her and killed her. The terror of Kumaon is finally killed. After the tigress was shot, Corbett examined her body. He discovered that the upper and lower canines on the right side of the mouth were broken: the upper one in half, the lower one to the base. It turned out that the cause of the fracture of her teeth was a bullet. In Nepal, she was shot by a hunter, and the bullet broke her fangs. 

This injury, according to Corbett, prevented her from hunting her natural prey and forced her to attack people. The tigress had to attack people to survive. After almost a decade, 436 confirmed and countless unreported deaths, the terror has finally come to an end...

Hunting dog survives 50-foot fall into well, rescued by Texas game wardens

Maria, a bird dog, was chasing an injured quail when she went missing.
Texas game wardens had to get a bit creative while rescuing a hunting dog name Maria who found herself lost at the bottom of a well in South Texas during a recent hunting trip. 

According to the game wardens blotter, during the course of the quail hunt on a property in Jim Hogg County, Maria had chased an injured bird through a thicket and didn't return, which worried her owners. They began an immediate search and eventually found her trapped about 50 feet down at the bottom of a well on the property. 

Game wardens in Jim Hogg County, typically tasked with enforcing the state's hunting and wildlife laws, were quick to arrive and used a makeshift pulley system to lower a kennel to the bottom. Inside the kennel, they placed hunted quail to entice Maria inside, wardens said. After some time, the pup eventually moved into the crate. 

Maria was hoisted up to safety and had quite the look of gratefulness. Miraculously, none of her bones were broken. She was checked out by a veterinarian as a precaution, game wardens said.
