The man-eaters. Tigers, lions, leopards, jaguars, wolves, crocodiles ...
Paris, MONTBEL 2012. in-8, 13.5 x 20 cm, paperback, 296 pages. Full text.

An incredible gallery of terrible damage the fiercest of beasts and other animals, from antiquity to the nineteenth century: lion, tigers, panthers, jaguars, wolves, crocodiles and snakes and sharks. Many accounts of hunts punctuate these pages. A chapter is devoted to even cannibals!
General Reginald George Burton (1864-1951), a specialist in wars of the Empire, spent part of his military career in India. There he chased the tiger and was interested in the most ferocious animals in the world with a meticulous historian way.

"Shortly after the beginning of the hunt, the beast announced his presence by a terrible roar. The roars approached the slope on top of which I was posted. The tiger was pushed by touts who gathered around him, so there was no way to escape. The men went into the bush with some difficulties. Suddenly this huge tiger came rushing in from the jungle below and rushed to me climbing the slope. I fired, hitting him in the body, but he continued his jumps and he still took me two or three shoot to finish him, it was a beautiful animal and of all those I have shot, it was he who had the most beautiful skin.
