<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" >9, Charger</h1>
Charger is the king of the Bandhawa Tiger Reserve, a name derived from its habit of attacking elephants and tourists. The Raider is a dangerous tiger that never hesitates when attacking an elephant. Between 1995 and 1998, it had several altercations with other male tigers, but none of them had the ability to match it. However, it is worth mentioning that the later raiders were seriously injured in a battle with another tiger named B1.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="36" >8, Matkasur</h1>
Matkasur, the male ruler of India's Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, has been infamous since after killing a man crouching in a forest during TATR's 2017 annual tiger population census. However, it was not dubbed the "cannibal" and was allowed to continue living in the forest. In 2018, it was photographed wrestling with a sloth bear protecting its cubs.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="37" >7, Rajah</h1>
In May 1914, at the Bronx Zoo in New York, the fence between the cage of an 8-year-old Bengal tiger Rajah and a Nubian lion Huerte, who was 2-3 years old and had been ill for some time, opened in an "inexplicable way." In the first few minutes, as the more nimble Huerte kept attacking Raja, the victory scales seemed to tip in favor of the lions. But Raja never gave up, and about an hour later, Raja aimed at Heurt's neck. In the end, Raja not only bit the back of Hurth's neck, but also broke Helt's back and killed him.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="38" >6, Boris</h1>
I hope you know the famous Siberian tiger king Boris. Boris was born in the Ussuri region in 1993, and the famous tiger killed many brown bears during his lifetime. One of the most brutal was that it killed first a baby brown bear and then the mother of the baby brown bear, a female Russian brown bear weighing 298 kilograms. But in 2012, the 19-year-old was bitten to death by a male brown bear.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="39" >5, T1/Affoni (T1/Avni).</h1>
In 2016-2018, a tigress named T1 (Avni) allegedly killed 13 people in the Yawatmar region of the western Indian state of Maharashtra. In November 2018, the tigress was killed after another large-scale hunt. It is reported that the people tried to inject it with an anesthesia gun at that time, but it rushed to the crowd in anger, and eventually the people shot it in self-defense and killed it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" >4, Tara</h1>
Nestled between India and Bangladesh, Sundarbans is known as a "beautiful forest" but is known for tiger attacks, while Dudhwa National Park saw several tiger cannibalism incidents in the late 1970s. The first death occurred on March 2, 1978, followed by three more deaths. The killings continue, making headlines every time. Forest managers soon began to believe that the culprit might be a tigress named Tara. Tara was reportedly born in the UK and was later adopted by environmentalist Billy Arjan Singh from the Twycross Zoo and raised in India with the aim of returning it to the wild. Experts believe that Tara does not have the skills and correct hunting skills needed to survive in the wild, which is why Tara has become more susceptible to predation and become a man-eating beast. Before the tigress was shot, a total of 24 people had been killed by it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="42" >3, Gunga</h1>
In 1859, a newspaper called Harper's Weekly mentioned the tiger, Gunga, which previously belonged to King Ude, and was said to have killed nearly 30 lions. After it arrived in England, its keepers watched a fight in which a Barbary lion was killed by it in 10 minutes. In 1857, another newspaper in London spoke of the same incident, reporting that "the lion was 6-7 years old". The newspaper mentioned that Ganga had another name called "Nina Shahib", who attacked his own keeper before clashing with the lion, so the breeder angrily stabbed one of Ganga's eyes with a crowbar, which meant that Ganga was a one-eyed long when fighting with the lion. When two big cats wrestled together, the breeder tried to separate them, but without success. Towards the end of the battle, the lion had a brief advantage, when Ganga suddenly climbed onto the lion's back and attacked quickly with its hind legs, tearing open the lion's stomach, after which the lion died. Although Gunga was also thought to have suffered fatal injuries during the battle, it didn't take long for it to recover and become one of the agency's greatest attractions.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" >2, Champawat</h1>
Champawat is one of the scariest and most dangerous tigers in history. It can be described as an authentic man-eating tigress, probably killing about 200 men and women before being driven out of Nepal. After that, it moved to the Chang pa special district of the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, where it remained unconventional and continued to take pleasure in killing. According to the final statistics, the total number of humans it killed reached 436, and it was eventually found and killed in 1907. It is well known that Champawat would often enter the village and even roar around the village during the day, causing the locals to have to flee to their homes in panic to take shelter. By the way, it was a man named Jim Corbett who killed Champawat who shot him.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="44" >1, Machli</h1>
Maybe there's no need to introduce the great Indian tigress queen, Machli, because it's really so famous. She roamed Ranthambore National Park for 19 years and protected its cubs for generations. In a legendary battle, Marjorie defeated a crocodile that was 4.3 meters long. It is believed to have killed 3-4 giant crocodiles in its lifetime and earned the title of "Crocodile Killer". The name of The Marchioli comes from the fish-shaped mark on its face, and its popularity among tourists has earned the Indian government nearly $100 million and awarded it the Tiger Tour Operator (TOFT) Lifetime Achievement Award. On August 18, 2016, the 20-year-old Margery was in life insurance, and after learning of the death of the Tiger King Margery, the local people were very sad and spontaneously came to see her off and helped her hold a grand funeral.
