A Bengal tiger killed 436 people over 4 years

From 1904 until 1907, a Bengal tiger who became known as the Champawat Tiger went on a tremendous killing rampage. 436 people were killed by this animal when it was on the loose, often multiple at once.

Until it was chased away, this beast killed roughly 200 people in Nepal. Sadly, the animal simply relocated and went to India. There, it shut down the Kumaron District and began to hunt humans, occasionally during the day. People were reluctant to leave their homes, especially after a series of attacks that covered a distance of 20 kilometers in one night.

The menace was eventually neutralized by a hunter who was hired, despite the fact that he nearly perished in the process. The tiger's fractured canine tooth was recovered afterwards. According to some theories, the animal chose humans as its prey because they were simpler to hunt than its usual prey.
