summer sun descended on a mountain path in the jungle of the Nepalese Himalayas. A
group of men, women and children moved steadily through the dense forest, until
one of them suddenly heard a rustle in the bushes. A
few minutes later it was deafening silence in the jungle again. The trail was littered with
bodies. The
group had become the victim of the most dangerous serial killer of Mother
Nature: the Champawat tiger.
By the end of the 19th century there were disturbing stories from the Nepalese mountains. Local residents spoke of a huge Bengal tiger without any fear in broad daylight people came and devoured. Initially only individual travelers were victims, but soon became less cautious predator.
