Corbett describes in one of his books, I think it was "My India" how he can move around the forests even at night when he knows there is a dangerous maneater present.

He mentions the "Jungle Folk". When I first read the book many years ago I did not know to whom he refered, but he refers to "Jungle Folk" as the numerous birds, monkeys and other animals that inhabit the forests and jungles. When a leopard or tiger moves through the forest he learned how to recognise the many different calls these "folk" made and so could judge if eg a tiger was moving awya and in what direction. Similarly when sitting in a machan the birds and beasts of the forest alerted him to its approach. Amazing stuff.

He may also have referred to a "sixth sense" type warning as well.

I am re-reading some of his books at the moment myself and if I find an example I will post it.
