The Champawat Tiger was a man-eating tigress which purportedly killed some 200 men and women before being driven out of Nepal. She moved to Champawat district in the state of Uttarakhand in North India, and continued to kill, bringing her total human kills up to 436. She was finally tracked down and killed in 1907. [14]
The first designated man-eating tiger he killed, the Champawat Tiger, was responsible for an estimated 436 documented deaths. [28] Though most of his kills were tigers, Corbett successfully killed at least two man-eating leopards. The first was the Panar Leopard in 1910, which allegedly killed 400 people.
Tigers driven from their home ranges are also at risk of turning to man-eating. [229] At the beginning of the 20th century, the Champawat Tiger was responsible for over 430 human deaths in Nepal and India before she was shot by Jim Corbett. [230] This tigress suffered from broken teeth and was unable to kill normal prey.
