Utterly fascinating story telling! I subscribed and this is my go to every night before going to sleep. As an American, predator attacks are extremely rare. And the presence of a true man-eater is unheard of. So hearing the tales of those brave select few that hunted the man-eater cats is fascinating. Well done sir.

I'm listening again thanks Mr Singh love your work as always best wishes from Wales

[@benwaddams]

Fantastic as ever Mr Singh, thank you. I'm sat in my studio, painting a leopard as I listen! I thought you might like to hear one of my few experiences with leopards, although this one was African, Tanzania - Lake Tanganyika. (I apologise if I've sent it before) ... I left the boat at midnight. There were few lights except those that came from the bleary orange and yellow glows pocking the decks at intervals of several meters, their casings half fill with hapless flies and moths, accumulated over the years. The ferry had not made port. She was impatiently idling in a relatively calm bay, where the headland could only be distinguished as such by the virtue that there were no stars visible in its presumed direction. The forest fires glowed in the gloom off to the West but there were no illuminations ahead of me on my side of the lake. No, there was no dock and instead I was aiming to leave this vessel and enter another, much smaller one. A dingy of not much more than British-holidaying size yet differentiated from the latter by being made of hard, unyielding wood. The properties of which I discovered to be just that as I jumped and tumbled into it via the stern of the ferry and 10 feet of sticky yet un-cushioning central African night air. Adding to my discomfort and befuddled state of affairs was a stomach and bowels aching with dysentery from the previous evening’s rank supper of lake fish. However I thought as I doubled over and clutched myself in vain attempt to halt the inevitable, Doctor David Livingstone coped with it perfectly well. I turned back to the ferry as my unseen boatman pushed off and revved the tinny outboard, shore-bound, to see my recently vacated cabin being ransacked of its remaining contents, the opportunistic passengers eager to see what I may have left in my bins. I returned to my self-pity and grimaced with a surge of nausea, putting my head between my knees and recollecting that oh yes, dysentery eventually killed the good Doctor. A puzzled ride at break-neck speed did not do much for my insides, however delirious I felt but soon enough we sidled into the pebbly beach and the little boat nuzzled up upon its hull. I stumbled out, still without illumination. The boatman, who seemed to speak no English (then again at the time I spoke no Swahilli, so could not complain) lead me with a newly discovered torch, along a jungle path to a little hut. ‘Keys’ he said. Or it might have been ‘please’, I wasn’t sure. He then turned and left along a different path and I was plunged into darkness again. Through the use of my obsolete phone screen, I found a bench and lay down to wait for the return of the man. He seemed to be doing some sawing as that’s all I could hear above the sound of a million night creatures. Soon I was up again and searching desperately for a toilet, or for something that passed for one in this part of the world. A tiny clearing lay behind the hut and across from that was a mud ‘cubicle’ about the size of a porta-loo with a decidedly short long-drop. I cautiously yet hurriedly scanned for snakes before I disgorged the fish ‘from both ends at once’ and returned. After a further few trips to repeat my performance, snakes be damned, I finally fell into a fitful sleep with that sawing behind me somewhere. A guide eventually turned up the following morning but there was no sign of the boatman ever again. ‘You slept here?!’ he said, alarmed. ‘Yes’ I managed to rasp. ‘But what about the leopards?’ ‘What Leopards? I replied. It was then that I remembered that the noise a leopard makes at night, is the same as that of a saw.

As a boy I knew a feeling that protecting women and children was instinctual. My thoughts and actions reflected this as years passed. As a man and educated I could articulate Darwinian based reasoning for this behavior. I feel alive when I hunt bears and satisfied on how many elk and deer I save from being eaten alive. Yes it's very true, bear prefer to eat fawns held down, while alive. To hear them cry makes me shake , not fear but something else. Great retelling, well done.

[@elcapitanvaliente4617]

Very true what he said in the last line. No wild animal today, or for more than a 100 years now, has any chance against a skilled hunter with modern big calibre guns.

[@selvalorestudios]

I wouldn't disagree with that either!

[@jerrydoss6149]

Not sure that I fully agree with that statement, an unlucky hunter can still fall victim to the big game that they’re hunting, you hear about it on occasion here in North America with grizzlies and in Africa with buffaloes and elephants etc.

[@lincs4life]

After reading so many excellent stories have you ever thought to write your own fictional stories around this subject ? Between Jim, Kenneth and all other hunters of the time it's alot of inspiration.

[@selvalorestudios]

There's quite a bit of material already available. I'd like to get through that first as its culturally and historically significant. I haven't even touched anything from Africa and North America yet and there's so much there as well! Glad to see a comment from you again!

[@selvalorestudios]

Haha, amazing and that's well put! Thanks for commenting!

[@philippinestroppoholic7996]

Panther is the wrong term I think. Anderson is referring to Leopards generally. Panthers are very dark colored leopards and I doubt that all the leopards that Anderson shot were black. Corbett correctly referred to them as leopards. And how easy would it be to make a secure leopard proof house with all the available timber there 🙄

[@selvalorestudios]

Leopards were commonly called panthers back in those days in India. Refer to the story of "man-eating panther of Belkhera". Its abundantly clear from many other stores by a variety of hunter turned authors that leopards really were called panthers.

[@jerrydoss6149]

Panther has been commonly used as a generic term form for several species of big cats, for instance here in the states some refer to mountain lions as panthers especially in the southern part of their range

[@matthewpulickottil6831]

I am subscriber and a fan. Also live in Whitefield, Bangalore where Mr. Anderson spent some years. One tiny gripe I have is the pronunciation of "Salem"... its pronounced like "Selam" in Tamil. Probably its origin can be traced to the Tamil and Sanskrit word "Shailam", which means mountain or hill.

[@selvalorestudios]

Thank you for the correction, I had no clue. Pronunciation of local towns and villages is always tricky to get right, if you are not from the area.

Does anybody understand how the panther was able to eat rabid animals without it becoming rabid itself?

[@selvalorestudios]

Great point!

[@jamess3241]

@@selvalorestudios I wasn't really trying to make a point, I'm just curious and was wondering if anybody knew. It could be something like maybe the rabies that dogs carry can be contracted by humans but cannot be contracted by cats, or something like that. I was just interested as to the reason why

[@selvalorestudios]

@@jamess3241 indeed that is a good question! I'd love to know myself. A cursory glance online reveals that leopards in india today consistently dine on urban stray and feral dogs as a significant portion of their diet and seem to be unaffected by rabid dogs. Refer to this article! blog.nature.org/2018/03/08/urban-leopards-can-save-lives-by-eating-feral-dogs/

[@jamess3241]

[@jerrydoss6149]

Rabies spreads through the saliva of the infected animal so it’s possible for the panther to eat infected animals without being infected itself.
