Ramapuram Tiger by Kenneth Anderson | Audio Story | Man-Eaters and Jungle Killers

Following a horrendous injury at the hands of the local peasantry, a cattle-lifting tiger turns into a man-eater in and around the village of Ramapura(m). One of the most legendary of Kenneth Anderson's stories, the tale of the Ramapuram Tiger is set in the picturesque north Coimbatore district of Southern India flanked by towering hills on all sides with expansive lush green valleys teeming with wildlife.

Being a great fan,I first read books of Anderson in British Council library in Bombay in 1982.I became an ardent admirer. In 2013 I purchased all his books by Rupa&Co and is my main collection.

Splendid! Thanks for sharing

Waking up at 6 am because of noisy neighbors = bad Waking up at 6am to find a new Selvalore story waiting for me = good Everything balances itself out in life. Thanks for a nice surprise this morning!

[@selvalore]

Ah yes, its all about balance! Thanks for an excellent comment!

[@kalyannnBH]

This is a very good story. The author has given good amount of detail too. The narrator adds a feel no one else would. I listen to this before sleep, i get transported to the place and lost in the imagination...

[@mrmocaccino-pg5ci]

Very well said and I have to agree!

[@dharmrajsinghchauhan4997]

Its good to see that others are also using these as sleep aid.

My pleasure and thank you for supporting my work!

[@mrmocaccino-pg5ci]

Thanks for another fantastic narration. A quick search reveals that this story is used as part of the curriculum for 6th grade children in some chools of India. I think more of Corbett's and Anderson's stories should be used. The kids will learn better English while learning to appreciate the natural world around them.

Sheer brilliance. 👍 This channel is the very definition of quality over quantity. Our host Mr A P Singh is blessed with a voice of the ages, from heaven in my humble opinion. He brings to life these wonderful stories like no other. I have absolutely nothing against a, say, American accent, but this man's dulcet tones and story telling abilities are like no other. And his accent is perfect. I am truly blessed. Thank you and best wishes for Oxford UK.

Can you please suggest any good works similar to Jim Corbett and Kenneth Anderson.

JH Patterson's 'Man-Eaters of Tsavo' is the closest. Peter Capstick's 'Death in the long grass' is also very good. Among Indian writers check out Hugh Allen's 'Lonely Tiger'.

Interesting to note despite several hunters describing tigers and lions slinging kills over their shoulders, this does not seem to have been filmed.

[@mguest8614]

If I get it correctly, Kenneth's impulse saved him for the tiger started following him down the bushes to the bait. Had Kenneth not acted on his impulse, the tiger would have ambushed him on his way back to bungalow. Providence!!!

Wants more and more videos please

Two unforgettable hair-raising incidents, the names I dont recall, were when in absence of any trees near the kill, a hole was dug near the kill and in he crept waiting till tiger commenced his meal. When creeping up from the hole slowly, to his horror, he saw there were two tigers!!!! Another when he found himself right in between two mating tiger couple!!! Horror of horrors!!!!

Tigers are so gay and boring🙄🥴😞 Im only joking my Indian brothers and trying to rib you. I respect tigers a lot Im one of the few black Africans to actually see tigers in real life. I woried in gane park in Eastern Cape and tigers have been introduced there. I was a big game veterinary surgeon desling with big game like lions, buffalo etc. I got married and my wife begged me daily to leave that job. Now i just lecture at Pretoria Those faniliar with me will immediately know who i am as many students have passed through me Long live India and its tigers

[@prabhakarkrishnaswami4148]

Some of the tigers turn into man-eaters due to human actions either injuring it by bullets or traps in this case. 38:53

[@ropeburnsrussell]

God, I hate traps. Shooting is one thing, trapping is evil.

[@selvalore]

Have to agree! I'd love to say this sort of stuff doesn't happen anymore but sadly it still goes on.

[@COHENMARC-y7l]

I visited Ramapuram, the forest has all but gone as compared to the past 30 years ago, very sad, poor forest management, especially flora and fauna

[@selvalore]

This is not great to hear! I'm hoping the protected areas and reserves from the region are atleast thriving.
