Hello my curious. Be all...
Weeeeeeeeeelcome to a new video!
Although the direct attacks of animals on humans do not usually occur frequently...
In fact it is the other way around!
In the last decades there have been true massacres that deserve to be mentioned.
And if you do not believe me, now I have prepared a video for you
with 10 stories with murderous animals that ended the lives of hundreds of people.
From a lion that ate more than 400 people in a region of Nepal, near the Himalayas,
to the story of a gigantic crocodile that has eaten 300 victims in Africa, and has never managed to catch it.
This video is quite impressive, right?
What I want to make clear is that these stories do not share with you
so you feel hate or fear towards these animals.
Actually it is the opposite because you will discover that many of these cases
were caused by humans themselves, and not by animals.
So that said, to be clear… Let's move on to the question of this video!
Do you remember that in my last video I told you about a cup that supposedly has powers over natural?
It is said that Jesus Christ himself drank from it, and since then,
hundreds of people have searched for it to exhaustion but have never been able to find it.
Do you remember the name of that cup by chance?
To make it fun, here I leave these 4 options.
Choose the option that you think is correct and write it down below in the comments at this moment
because at the end of the video, I'll tell you the name of that powerful cup,
and we'll see if you guessed right, okay?
Now we are ready!
Make yourself comfortable! And enjoy it my friend!
I'm the Curious Ben. And… How curious are you?
Tsavo's Man-Eaters
The “Tsavo's Man-Eaters” were two hairless lions that developed an appetite for human flesh,
and that in just a few months, they ate 135 people in the year 1898.
Yes, those animals were hungry, right?
-I'm hungry! -Benny, stop biting my leg, it's not fun!
The story goes that during the construction of a railway bridge over the Tsavo River, in Kenya,
the two lions were given a feast of human flesh attacking the workers
who slept in the vicinity of the construction zone.
In the 10 months that this human slaughter lasted...
Because it has no other name!
Between March and December of that year, the workers tried to capture the lions
in an endless number of occasions, but it was almost impossible to stop their appetite
because they attacked at different times of the night while everyone was asleep.
Fortunately, when the number of deaths had already reached 135,
Colonel John Patterson, who was the leader of this group of workers,
managed to kill the two lions with several shots, ending the nightmare once and for all.
Today, the stuffed bodies of the “Tsavo's Man-Eaters”
are displayed in the Field Museum of Natural History located in Chicago.
A plaque has been placed where these lions are remembered
as the most feared couple of lions in all history.
Number 9
Sankebetsu's Killer Bear
In November 1915, in Sankebetsu, Japan,
a gigantic brown bear almost 3 meters high, ate 7 people in a span of 48 hours,
until finally an expert hunter managed to kill it.
The reports of this horrible attack tell that the bear has just awakened from his period of hibernation,
when a local farmer saw him and shot him because he considered it a threat
to the horses he had in his stable.
Although the objective of the farmer was to kill the bear,
what he achieved was the exact opposite because a few days ago,
the bear returned to the village to attack and eat as many people as he could.
In total there were 7 people, in just 48 hours.
Can you believe it?
Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Sankebetsu authorities
requested the help of a well-known bear hunter named Heikichi Yamamoto.
It was with their help and with the support of a good group of well-armed people
that on December 14, 1915, the Sankebetsu bear was cornered and shot down
with two fatal shots, one in the head and the other in the heart.
If you happen to visit Rokusen-sawa, which was the town where the bear attack took place,
you will see a shrine and a statue dedicated to this animal where it is remembered
as the worst attack of a bear on humans in all the History of Japan,
and as one of the most feared animals that ever existed.
Number 8
The Leopard Of Panar
In the early twentieth century, a male leopard that is now known as the 'Leopard of Panar',
became one of the most feared animals in history after eating 400 people in just a few months.
Can you imagine that?
The story goes that this 'man-eater' appeared in surprise on the lonely roads
of a region of India called Panar.
The attacks were so charged with violence and rapidity that the rate of attack effectiveness was 100%.
None of his victims managed to escape alive.
In all the time that slaughter lasted, dozens of people tried to capture him to kill him
but it was almost impossible to find this leopard because he hid very well
and because he never attacked twice in the same place.
That also gives you an idea of how smart this leopard was,
and that it is no coincidence that he devoured 400 people in such a short time.
The curious part of this story is that his appetite for human flesh began when he was just a puppy.
Apparently, when he was still only a few months old,
a hunter seriously injured him until he was almost dying.
That fueled his hatred of humans
to the point of attacking and eating people every time he was hungry.
Fortunately for the inhabitants of Panar, in the year 1910, an expert hunter named Jim Corbett
managed to kill him, giving him a couple of direct shots in the head that ended this whole nightmare.
Since then, the leopard of Panar is considered one of the most feared animals in all history,
for being one of the most devoted humans that has claimed more lives,
400 innocent in just a few months.
Number 7
Jersey Shore White Shark
Between July 1 and 12, 1916, a white shark planted fear on the shores of Jersey, in the United States,
after attacking and eating 4 people, including a 12-year-old boy.
The attacks began on July 1 in the bay of Beach Haven.
On that occasion, a boy named Charles Vansant swam near the coast
when he was attacked by the white shark in a violent manner.
Although a group of people tried to help him,
the boy died bleeding a few minutes later because the wounds were very deep.
Only five days later, another man was attacked in the same way,
and on July 12, it was the turn of two other victims, including the 12-year-old boy I told you about.
In total, it was assumed that there were 4 fatalities in less than 15 days.
And although maybe that number sounds little
if we compare it with the three previous cases that I mentioned...
This case is also macabre because it is a behavior never before seen in this species.
Fortunately, the shark was caught a few days later by a fisherman.
In his stomach he was found no less than 15 pounds of meat and human remains of his recent victims.
By the number of victims and deaths in less than two weeks...
The Jersey Shore White Shark has been responsible for one of the most feared episodes
in the history of the United States.
Hello!
Number 6
Champawat Tigress
This tigress is on the list of the most feared animals in history
because it has eaten 436 people throughout its life.
The macabre history of this tigress dates back to the 19th century
in a region of Nepal near the Himalayas.
There, the Champawat Tigress gave herself a feast of human flesh
attacking people crossing certain solitary roads in broad daylight.
The attacks of the tigress filled the people with so much fear that for a long time,
no one dared to leave their homes unless it was strictly necessary.
When the number of victims already counted by tens,
the villagers even decided to ask for help from the Nepalese army,
but not even they managed to capture it.
I mention this to give you an idea of how difficult it was to capture it,
and of the intelligence that this tigress had.
But like all these stories of animals eat-men...
A hunter entered the scene to end the nightmare once and for all.
In this case it was the famous Jim Corbett who managed to kill her in the year 1907.
Did you know that the Champawat tigress appears in the Guinness Book of Records
as the tiger responsible for the largest number of human deaths in all of history?
With that you get an idea of why the Champawat Tigress
it is one of the most feared animals that have ever met.
Number 5
The Beast Of Gévaudan
This is the name given to an unknown beast
that ate more than 100 people in the province of Gévaudan, in France.
The story goes that in the middle of the 18th century, a very rare beast that looked like a wolf,
attacked 210 people of which 113 ended up devoured.
All this in a span of 4 years, starting in 1764, and ending in 1767
when a hunter finally managed to kill him.
To give you an idea of the magnitude of his attacks and the famous thing that became in all France,
it is said that even the King of France sent professional hunters to catch her
but it was very complicated because she was very clever.
If it had not been for the hunter that killed her in the year 1767...
Who by the way was called Jean Chastel,
who knows how many more people this animal would have eaten.
But the curious part of this story is that it has never been clear what kind of animal it was.
It is only said that it resembled a wolf but in paintings of the time
it is represented as a very large and disproportionate animal with a gloomy appearance.
You saw it?
This has led to endless speculation about its real origin.
That if he was a real werewolf, if he was an unknown crypt, if it was Benny...
-What a stupid thing! -Forget it, Benny. I'm just kidding!
The point is that, no matter what the hell that thing was,
by the number of victims and by the difficult it was to catch it...
The Beast Of Gévaudan has been one of the most feared animals of all time.
Number 3
Battle of Ramree Island Operation Matador
On the night of February 19, 1945,
one of the worst killings of animals to humans took place on an island off the coast of Burma.
The story goes that this island was occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army
during the Second World War.
But since it was an island with a strategic location,
the British army also wanted to take it.
As the British were stronger and outnumbered the Japanese,
the Japanese had no choice but to retreat to an area of the island full of marshes
where there were dozens of saltwater crocodiles.
Apparently the Japanese did not know anything about the presence of these crocodiles,
because on the night of February 19, 1945,
of the 1000 Japanese soldiers that made up the group...
Only 20 survived!
You guessed!
All others were devoured by swamp crocodiles.
This bloody event is also recorded in the Guinness Book of Records
as 'The Greatest Disaster in All History Caused by Animals'.
What fear, right?
Number 3
Gustave, The Crocodile
Gustave is the name of a male of the species Crocodylus niloticus, or 'Nile crocodile',
which has gained worldwide fame for having eaten more than 300 people in recent years in Africa.
Although this one that appears in the photo is not Gustave...
I'm not going to lie to you! But a crocodile that was caught in Zimbabwe a few months ago,
it helps you to have an idea of the size of Gustave, and why they are so afraid of him.
Unlike the other animals that you have seen in this video, Gustave is the only one who is still alive,
and in Burundi it is considered a true legend.
The story goes that on the shores of Lake Tanganyika and the Ruzizi River,
the natives of the area have observed the huge crocodile of 6 or 7 meters long
surrounding the territory for years.
In all this time, many hunters have tried to kill him or capture him but it has been useless.
His skin is a witness to those attempts to catch him because he has it full of bullet and knife scars.
Although it is estimated that he is already 70 years old...
If not, it has more!
And is not as fast as in his youth...
What he has gained is cunning because he rarely appears and when he does,
he calculates coldly all his movements.
Gustave's latest report goes back to June 2015,
since then he has not been seen but he is likely to stay alive
because of the traces that have been found near the area where he usually lives.
So, for having eaten 300 people, although some say that the number is much greater than that,
and for being a very astute crocodile, Gustave is one of the most disturbing animals in all history.
Number 2
The Leopard Of The Central Provinces
With that name it is reminded a leopard eat-men that in the course of a couple of years,
killed more than 150 people in the central provinces of India,
at the beginning of the 20th century.
Reports indicate that the appetite of this leopard and its thirst for human blood was so great,
that it attacked and devoured people every 2 or 3 days on average.
Capturing him was especially complicated because his attacks were at different times,
in places where he had never attacked before.
As the death toll increased, the people of the central provinces of India
did not leave their homes for fear of being attacked.
Who would want to leave, right?
Fortunately for them, one day the leopard was careless because he was eating the goats of a farmer...
That carelessness cost him his life because giving the farmer time to give him several shots to die.
So for having claimed the lives of 150 people in a few months,
the Leopard of the Central Provinces of India has been one of the most feared animals known.
Number 1
The Man-Eaters of Njombe
The Man-Eaters of Njombe is the name given to a whole herd of lions
that ate more than 1,500 people in a matter of months.
Everything happened in the year 1932 in the country of Tanzania,
specifically in the vicinity of the village of Njombe.
The case is quite interesting and disturbing
because it is the only time in history that a herd of lions has stopped hunting other animals
to focus on eating exclusively humans.
And the worst of all is that the exact reason for that disturbing behavior was never known.
The villagers theory says that the lions were being controlled
by a witch doctor called Matamula Mangera.
According to the story, this supposed witch had sent the lions as revenge against the people of the village,
but as you can imagine that could never be proven although it does not sound so outlandish.
What is important here is that this event marked so much the lives of the people of the village of Njombe,
that even today they dare not mention the matter
because there is a belief that the lions could return if they talk about them.
Fortunately, the lions never attacked these people again
when a famous hunter killed 15 members of this herd,
ending with one of the most tragic events between animals and humans
from all over Africa and the whole world.
Today, The Man-Eaters of Njombe is considered the most feared herd of all time.
And that's all for today!
This video was really interesting, right?
Well if you liked it as much as I did, you should leave a thumbs up at this moment
because that helps me a lot to know if you really enjoyed it...
Or if it seemed very boring!
So if you want another video about animals and data similar to this...
You know what to do!
The answer to the riddle, by the way, is option B.
The Holy Grail is the name by which a cup is known with supposed supernatural powers,
which has been sought by dozens of people but has never been able to find it.
Although it sounds like something crazy!
Throughout history there have been powerful objects like the Holy Grail that you probably do not know.
If you want to watch a video with 10 of the most powerful objects that have been mentioned in the story,
I'll leave a link here above so you can see a video I did on the subject.
And as I always tell you at the end...
