Killer crocodiles

And great white sharks
that are out for blood.

(man screaming)
8
00:00:16,643 --> 00:00:20,483
Since the dawn of civilization,
mankind has known
9
00:00:20,651 --> 00:00:22,788
that wild animals are dangerous,
10
00:00:22,788 --> 00:00:22,856
that wild animals are dangerous,
and if provoked,
they might attack.
11
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:26,295
and if provoked,
they might attack.
12
00:00:26,362 --> 00:00:29,402
But what about when
a deadly predator kills people
13
00:00:29,534 --> 00:00:33,242
not just once
but time and time again?
14
00:00:33,309 --> 00:00:35,982
Is it possible that
some creatures hunt us down
15
00:00:36,115 --> 00:00:38,052
because they actually
have a taste
16
00:00:38,252 --> 00:00:40,658
for human flesh?
17
00:00:40,758 --> 00:00:44,699
Well, that is what
we'll try and find out.

♪ ♪
19
00:01:04,839 --> 00:01:06,509
Thousands of
workers have come to this
20
00:01:06,609 --> 00:01:08,680
remote patch
of the African savannah
21
00:01:08,747 --> 00:01:12,755
to build a new railroad line
for the British Empire.
22
00:01:14,692 --> 00:01:16,797
One night, as the men sleep,
23
00:01:16,896 --> 00:01:19,669
they're awakened by
the sound of screaming.
24
00:01:19,669 --> 00:01:20,972
(man screaming)
25
00:01:21,171 --> 00:01:23,209
They quickly realize
26
00:01:23,309 --> 00:01:25,380
that a fearsome lion
has crept into the camp
27
00:01:25,513 --> 00:01:28,252
and is attacking
a man in his tent.
28
00:01:29,521 --> 00:01:33,797
BRUCE PATTERSON:
A big male lion
entered the tent of a foreman,
29
00:01:33,864 --> 00:01:37,872
seized him by the head, dragged
him out screaming and kicking
30
00:01:37,905 --> 00:01:42,181
into the bush, where, uh, his
remains were found the next day.
31
00:01:42,313 --> 00:01:44,385
And there was
very little left of him.
32
00:01:45,420 --> 00:01:49,563
But his head was left
almost completely intact,
33
00:01:49,662 --> 00:01:52,735
pierced on the sides
by the lion's teeth,
34
00:01:52,768 --> 00:01:57,678
his eyes wide open, frozen
in a look of horror and fear.
35
00:01:59,615 --> 00:02:01,085
SHATNER:
The savage killing
of the foreman
36
00:02:01,185 --> 00:02:03,658
marked the beginning
of a vicious murder spree
37
00:02:03,757 --> 00:02:08,199
carried out by not one
but two vicious lions,
38
00:02:08,365 --> 00:02:10,437
who quickly earned the nickname,
39
00:02:10,637 --> 00:02:13,644
the Tsavo Man-Eaters.
40
00:02:13,677 --> 00:02:17,350
LARISSA DeSANTIS:
The two man-eaters
were particularly large.
41
00:02:17,450 --> 00:02:20,792
They were upwards
of nine feet in length.
42
00:02:20,891 --> 00:02:23,864
We know that these
two lions were both males.
43
00:02:23,964 --> 00:02:26,336
And they don't have
the large iconic manes
44
00:02:26,435 --> 00:02:28,472
that you would expect
of most African lions.
45
00:02:30,243 --> 00:02:32,682
So these lions were smart.
They were patient.
46
00:02:32,782 --> 00:02:36,656
They were able to
effectively hunt their prey,
47
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:39,161
and if you have
the element of surprise,
48
00:02:39,261 --> 00:02:41,498
humans really can't
do anything about that.
49
00:02:42,601 --> 00:02:46,810
There were 3,000 men camped
along the rail lines,
50
00:02:46,943 --> 00:02:49,115
and that left
the men in tents there
51
00:02:49,247 --> 00:02:51,518
vulnerable to attacks by lions.
52
00:02:52,588 --> 00:02:56,162
The two male lions
descended on railway crews,
53
00:02:56,261 --> 00:02:59,869
and began
systematically hunting, killing
54
00:02:59,936 --> 00:03:04,445
and consuming railway workers
on the edge of this camp.
55
00:03:04,511 --> 00:03:08,920
Of course, the crews became
completely dispirited,
56
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:08,954
Of course, the crews became
completely dispirited,
and this sparked panic,
57
00:03:08,954 --> 00:03:11,358
and this sparked panic,
58
00:03:11,425 --> 00:03:16,202
this sparked desperation,
this sparked mass desertion.
59
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:20,611
It was headline news
back in England at the time,
60
00:03:20,711 --> 00:03:23,483
where in Parliament,
delays in the construction
61
00:03:23,583 --> 00:03:26,422
of the railway
were discussed as being
62
00:03:26,556 --> 00:03:29,361
attributed to
these problematic lions.
63
00:03:30,429 --> 00:03:32,668
SHATNER:
News of the savage attacks
carried out
64
00:03:32,735 --> 00:03:36,710
by the Tsavo Man-Eaters
made headlines around the world.
65
00:03:36,810 --> 00:03:40,016
And many began to wonder
why these two lions
66
00:03:40,283 --> 00:03:44,357
were deliberately killing
and eating so many people.
67
00:03:45,526 --> 00:03:49,669
Incidents of man eating
among lions is very unusual.
68
00:03:50,704 --> 00:03:53,342
Lions typically eat zebra,
69
00:03:53,442 --> 00:03:57,284
wildebeest, buffalo,
things that eat grass.
70
00:03:57,517 --> 00:04:02,595
They know their prey very well,
but a man-eating lion must study
71
00:04:02,728 --> 00:04:06,335
the habits of humans
and learn to...
72
00:04:06,468 --> 00:04:09,275
adjust to them
in order to be successful
73
00:04:09,441 --> 00:04:11,345
in their food acquisition.
74
00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:17,725
DeSANTIS:
We don't see
lions attacking and hunting
75
00:04:17,791 --> 00:04:21,432
and trying to go after people
most of the time.
76
00:04:21,566 --> 00:04:24,071
But these
two lions in particular
77
00:04:24,337 --> 00:04:27,611
were sort of committed
to the practice of man eating.
78
00:04:27,745 --> 00:04:29,883
-(lion growling)
-It's possible
79
00:04:30,016 --> 00:04:32,821
that then
we became a preferred food.
80
00:04:34,692 --> 00:04:38,833
SHATNER:
On December 9, 1898,
nine months after their reign
81
00:04:38,900 --> 00:04:43,509
of terror began, the first
Tsavo lion was shot and killed.
82
00:04:45,513 --> 00:04:48,787
20 days later, the second lion
met the same fate.
83
00:04:50,389 --> 00:04:52,595
But by then,
the pair of man-eaters had
84
00:04:52,795 --> 00:04:54,498
already killed and eaten
85
00:04:54,665 --> 00:04:59,408
an astonishing 135 people.
86
00:04:59,541 --> 00:05:01,445
CORBIN MAXEY:
There's no evidence
87
00:05:01,511 --> 00:05:04,484
that shows that the
Tsavo Man-Eaters were starving.
88
00:05:04,552 --> 00:05:07,357
There was actually
plentiful prey in the area--
89
00:05:07,558 --> 00:05:09,395
wildebeests,
90
00:05:09,562 --> 00:05:13,369
zebra, gazelles, hippos.
91
00:05:13,502 --> 00:05:16,643
And yet they chose
to eat humans.
92
00:05:16,809 --> 00:05:19,514
It is a very unusual situation.
93
00:05:21,686 --> 00:05:23,657
SHATNER:
The Tsavo Man-Eaters are
perhaps the most
94
00:05:23,823 --> 00:05:26,461
infamous lions in history.
95
00:05:26,562 --> 00:05:29,602
Their seemingly insatiable
desire to kill humans
96
00:05:29,735 --> 00:05:32,575
taps into our most primal fears,
97
00:05:32,641 --> 00:05:35,747
and is a reminder that
our ancient ancestors lived
98
00:05:35,814 --> 00:05:39,989
in constant fear of being
attacked by dangerous predators.
99
00:05:41,091 --> 00:05:43,697
NATALIA REAGAN:
Early on,
our ancestors were often
100
00:05:43,797 --> 00:05:47,370
preyed upon
because we don't have giant
101
00:05:47,470 --> 00:05:50,477
claws and armor
and things of that sort.
102
00:05:50,544 --> 00:05:53,584
We've got this big brain
that can help us hopefully
103
00:05:53,683 --> 00:05:56,054
outthink and outcompete
these predators,
104
00:05:56,054 --> 00:05:56,121
outthink and outcompete
these predators,
but given
the right circumstances,
105
00:05:56,121 --> 00:05:59,528
but given
the right circumstances,
106
00:05:59,729 --> 00:06:01,966
we're very vulnerable.
107
00:06:02,835 --> 00:06:05,139
We humans like to think
that we're
108
00:06:05,139 --> 00:06:05,172
We humans like to think
that we're
at the top of the food chain.
109
00:06:05,172 --> 00:06:07,343
at the top of the food chain.
110
00:06:07,410 --> 00:06:09,481
But thousands
and thousands of years ago,
111
00:06:09,548 --> 00:06:13,455
we were eaten alive
by almost any and everything.
112
00:06:13,556 --> 00:06:16,128
And what is very interesting
about that is
113
00:06:16,128 --> 00:06:16,195
And what is very interesting
about that is
scientists have actually
shown infants
114
00:06:16,195 --> 00:06:19,535
scientists have actually
shown infants
115
00:06:19,669 --> 00:06:23,711
images of snakes,
images of spiders,
116
00:06:23,777 --> 00:06:26,549
and infants who have never
seen these animals before
117
00:06:26,616 --> 00:06:28,887
will freak out,
they'll show a fear response.
118
00:06:29,020 --> 00:06:31,158
They'll cry.
That's an alarm call.
119
00:06:31,158 --> 00:06:31,191
They'll cry.
That's an alarm call.
That is innate. It's in our DNA.
120
00:06:31,191 --> 00:06:33,095
That is innate. It's in our DNA.
121
00:06:35,232 --> 00:06:37,170
SHATNER:
More than a hundred years
after the attacks
122
00:06:37,170 --> 00:06:39,240
by the Tsavo Man-Eaters,
123
00:06:39,507 --> 00:06:42,313
the mystery of what made
these two lions target people
124
00:06:42,447 --> 00:06:45,353
lingers in
the public consciousness.
125
00:06:45,486 --> 00:06:48,192
So much so that their skulls are
126
00:06:48,492 --> 00:06:51,298
on display at the Field Museum
of Natural History
127
00:06:51,498 --> 00:06:53,904
in Chicago, Illinois,
128
00:06:54,037 --> 00:06:56,542
where scientists
continue to study them
129
00:06:56,609 --> 00:07:00,985
in search of clues as to why
they became man-eaters.
130
00:07:01,084 --> 00:07:03,791
And according
to the latest research,
131
00:07:03,923 --> 00:07:06,261
it appears
the lions' murderous rampage
132
00:07:06,261 --> 00:07:06,362
it appears
the lions' murderous rampage
may have ironically
had something to do
133
00:07:06,362 --> 00:07:09,669
may have ironically
had something to do
134
00:07:09,869 --> 00:07:11,740
with their teeth.
135
00:07:12,808 --> 00:07:15,915
PATTERSON:
The teeth of lions,
they're used to crack bones
136
00:07:16,048 --> 00:07:18,820
and get the marrow
that's inside them,
137
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,661
and it's quite typical
in lion dentitions to find
138
00:07:22,728 --> 00:07:26,837
missing or broken teeth
associated with this heavy use.
139
00:07:27,838 --> 00:07:31,479
It's not typical, however,
to find dental disease.
140
00:07:31,612 --> 00:07:34,217
Yet, in the case
of the Tsavo lion,
141
00:07:34,217 --> 00:07:34,284
Yet, in the case
of the Tsavo lion,
we had a broken
lower right canine
142
00:07:34,284 --> 00:07:37,357
we had a broken
lower right canine
143
00:07:37,591 --> 00:07:42,669
whose pulp cavity was exposed
about a third of an inch across.
144
00:07:42,768 --> 00:07:46,609
That would have been
excruciatingly painful.
145
00:07:46,676 --> 00:07:50,182
This is a cast of the skull
of the first man-eater,
146
00:07:50,282 --> 00:07:54,726
and this is the broken
lower right canine tooth
147
00:07:54,825 --> 00:07:58,567
that ultimately became
diseased and impacted.
148
00:07:59,702 --> 00:08:02,641
This lion would have been unable
to administer the killing bite
149
00:08:02,708 --> 00:08:07,050
that lions use to take down
large, struggling prey.
150
00:08:07,116 --> 00:08:10,724
So we think that the arrival
of the railway workers in camp
151
00:08:10,857 --> 00:08:13,697
happened at exactly
the right time
152
00:08:13,863 --> 00:08:16,435
for this individual lion, that,
153
00:08:16,602 --> 00:08:19,676
as it had become incapable
154
00:08:19,742 --> 00:08:23,248
of taking down buffalo,
it looked on people
155
00:08:23,248 --> 00:08:23,316
of taking down buffalo,
it looked on people
with a new eye
and a new appetite.
156
00:08:23,316 --> 00:08:26,856
with a new eye
and a new appetite.
157
00:08:28,292 --> 00:08:30,430
SHATNER:
Did a debilitating
toothache turn the first
158
00:08:30,597 --> 00:08:32,467
Tsavo lion into a man-eater
159
00:08:32,734 --> 00:08:36,776
because humans are softer prey
that were easier to bite?
160
00:08:36,943 --> 00:08:39,582
It's a compelling theory.
161
00:08:39,682 --> 00:08:41,986
But scientists have
verified that the other
162
00:08:42,086 --> 00:08:44,959
Tsavo lion's teeth
were perfectly healthy.
163
00:08:45,092 --> 00:08:48,265
So why did it join
in the killing?
164
00:08:48,298 --> 00:08:52,174
MAXEY:
One of the Tsavo lions
had extreme dental issues.
165
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,914
The second lion did not have
those dental injuries.
166
00:08:56,014 --> 00:08:58,519
So why would this lion
go towards humans?
167
00:08:58,620 --> 00:09:00,023
It's because it learned
from the other lion
168
00:09:00,156 --> 00:09:03,897
that humans are an easy target.
169
00:09:04,030 --> 00:09:06,603
Constantly,
predators are-are learning
170
00:09:06,769 --> 00:09:08,172
from success, from failures.
171
00:09:08,172 --> 00:09:08,238
from success, from failures.
They're learning from others.
172
00:09:08,238 --> 00:09:09,643
They're learning from others.
173
00:09:09,775 --> 00:09:11,011
They're learning
how to take down prey.
174
00:09:11,178 --> 00:09:13,315
They're learning how to hunt.
175
00:09:13,315 --> 00:09:13,382
They're learning how to hunt.
And so
it's not surprising to see
176
00:09:13,382 --> 00:09:15,788
And so
it's not surprising to see
177
00:09:15,821 --> 00:09:19,494
that the second man-eater
started eating people as well.
178
00:09:19,628 --> 00:09:22,668
We probably were,
um, an easy meal.
179
00:09:24,905 --> 00:09:28,079
We oftentimes will see an animal
that has killed multiple humans
180
00:09:28,145 --> 00:09:30,717
and think, "Oh, wow,
they're gunning for us."
181
00:09:30,784 --> 00:09:33,188
But we have to really
remember and reframe it
182
00:09:33,222 --> 00:09:36,729
as these are animals that are
doing just what they have to do
183
00:09:36,796 --> 00:09:40,203
to make it into
the next week, the next year.
184
00:09:40,269 --> 00:09:43,309
Just like we would.
It's kind of eat or be eaten.
185
00:09:44,143 --> 00:09:48,553
The story of the Tsavo
man-eating lions
186
00:09:48,653 --> 00:09:51,693
is proof positive
that some animals enjoy
187
00:09:51,826 --> 00:09:54,398
having humans on the menu,
so to speak.
188
00:09:54,665 --> 00:09:57,738
But there's another creature
who reportedly killed
189
00:09:57,804 --> 00:10:02,247
over a hundred people
that is even more unsettling.
190
00:10:03,348 --> 00:10:06,354
A fearsome predator that roamed
the French countryside
191
00:10:06,354 --> 00:10:06,455
A fearsome predator that roamed
the French countryside
and was known
as the Beast of Gévaudan.
192
00:10:06,455 --> 00:10:09,862
and was known
as the Beast of Gévaudan.
193
00:10:17,109 --> 00:10:20,249
SHATNER:
On a warm summer morning
in this farming region
194
00:10:20,249 --> 00:10:22,722
of south central France,
195
00:10:22,854 --> 00:10:25,561
14-year-old Jeanne Boulet
leaves home
196
00:10:25,727 --> 00:10:27,463
to tend her flock of sheep.
197
00:10:29,835 --> 00:10:32,340
By sundown, she's dead.
198
00:10:34,277 --> 00:10:37,150
Murdered by a mysterious animal
199
00:10:37,250 --> 00:10:40,089
that reportedly
mutilated her body,
200
00:10:40,089 --> 00:10:42,260
severed her head
201
00:10:42,260 --> 00:10:42,293
severed her head
and ripped out her heart.
202
00:10:42,293 --> 00:10:44,531
and ripped out her heart.
203
00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:48,874
Jeanne Boulet was the first
documented casualty
204
00:10:49,007 --> 00:10:51,880
of a monster
that many people believed
205
00:10:51,979 --> 00:10:54,151
was roaming
around south central France
206
00:10:54,284 --> 00:10:58,091
beginning
in the late spring of 1764.
207
00:10:58,158 --> 00:11:01,633
By the end of September,
another ten or so casualties,
208
00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:03,603
however, had appeared.
209
00:11:03,736 --> 00:11:05,874
GERHARD:
Le Bête du Gévaudan,
210
00:11:06,007 --> 00:11:08,012
also known
as the Beast of Gévaudan,
211
00:11:08,111 --> 00:11:10,083
was a mysterious
wolflike creature
212
00:11:10,215 --> 00:11:13,088
which mounted
a murderous rampage
213
00:11:13,188 --> 00:11:16,494
over a three-year span
within the 18th century.
214
00:11:17,430 --> 00:11:20,236
The beast frequently attacked
women and young children
215
00:11:20,302 --> 00:11:23,810
who had been assigned the task
of herding sheep and cattle
216
00:11:23,943 --> 00:11:25,714
in remote mountainous meadows.
217
00:11:25,914 --> 00:11:27,217
And in many cases,
218
00:11:27,316 --> 00:11:29,288
they were rather
defenseless and vulnerable.
219
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,891
(growling)
220
00:11:31,024 --> 00:11:34,699
SHATNER:
Between 1764 and 1767,
221
00:11:34,832 --> 00:11:36,803
the so-called Beast of Gévaudan
222
00:11:36,902 --> 00:11:38,874
terrorized
the Margeride mountain region
223
00:11:39,073 --> 00:11:41,077
of southern France.
224
00:11:42,313 --> 00:11:44,752
According to historical records,
225
00:11:44,852 --> 00:11:49,027
more than 100 people
were brutally killed.
226
00:11:50,462 --> 00:11:52,433
SMITH:
The Beast of
the Gévaudan's ravages
227
00:11:52,433 --> 00:11:52,500
SMITH:
The Beast of
the Gévaudan's ravages
did incite panic
among the people.
228
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:55,072
did incite panic
among the people.
229
00:11:55,139 --> 00:11:58,045
And we know this largely
from evidence from journalists
230
00:11:58,178 --> 00:11:59,849
and others
who were commenting about
231
00:12:00,015 --> 00:12:01,819
the activities of the beast.
232
00:12:01,919 --> 00:12:05,827
By early 1765,
newspapers all across France
233
00:12:05,927 --> 00:12:08,399
and, indeed,
all across Europe and in America
234
00:12:08,498 --> 00:12:11,371
were reporting
on the Beast of the Gévaudan--
235
00:12:11,471 --> 00:12:14,278
his exploits,
the various hunts for the beast,
236
00:12:14,377 --> 00:12:16,448
the various
mysteries surrounding it--
237
00:12:16,481 --> 00:12:20,256
which is why so many people
were transfixed by this story.
238
00:12:21,358 --> 00:12:23,963
GERHARD:
There were many attempts
to hunt down the beast.
239
00:12:23,997 --> 00:12:26,936
People in the Gévaudan region
typically did not own guns,
240
00:12:27,103 --> 00:12:29,041
but there were posses formed.
241
00:12:29,107 --> 00:12:31,111
Groups that would go out
in the woods and literally
242
00:12:31,244 --> 00:12:33,950
beat the brush
with pitchforks, sticks,
243
00:12:34,017 --> 00:12:36,488
knives, whatever types
of weapons were available.
244
00:12:36,555 --> 00:12:39,527
However, the hunt
for the beast really ramped up
245
00:12:39,527 --> 00:12:39,595
However, the hunt
for the beast really ramped up
when King Louis XV
became involved.
246
00:12:39,595 --> 00:12:42,500
when King Louis XV
became involved.
247
00:12:42,533 --> 00:12:46,241
He brought in a professional
wolf hunter named d'Enneval,
248
00:12:46,341 --> 00:12:48,847
who allegedly killed
over a hundred wolves,
249
00:12:48,980 --> 00:12:51,184
but the killing still
did not end.
250
00:12:52,286 --> 00:12:55,761
SHATNER:
According to multiple reports,
the beast resembled a wolf
251
00:12:55,860 --> 00:12:59,334
but was unlike any canine
that was known to man.
252
00:13:00,570 --> 00:13:04,043
GERHARD:
Many of the local villagers
noted as saying it resembles
253
00:13:04,110 --> 00:13:07,516
a very large wolf, but
the Beast of Gévaudan attacked
254
00:13:07,551 --> 00:13:11,826
and killed people in a nature
that was very unlike a wolf.
255
00:13:12,026 --> 00:13:13,428
(growling)
256
00:13:13,428 --> 00:13:13,462
(growling)
The nature of these attacks,
257
00:13:13,462 --> 00:13:15,065
The nature of these attacks,
258
00:13:15,165 --> 00:13:16,569
-the way that this thing
-(wolf howling)
259
00:13:16,569 --> 00:13:19,107
was decapitating people,
260
00:13:19,307 --> 00:13:21,311
disemboweling people,
261
00:13:21,411 --> 00:13:23,015
this was something
completely different.
262
00:13:24,150 --> 00:13:27,591
SMITH:
One of the reasons this
becomes such a magnetic story
263
00:13:27,891 --> 00:13:30,731
is because there were
always new strange stories
264
00:13:30,897 --> 00:13:32,300
about the beast's behavior,
265
00:13:32,433 --> 00:13:34,772
its appearance,
its strange abilities.
266
00:13:35,874 --> 00:13:39,381
The peasants on the ground
were describing it
267
00:13:39,447 --> 00:13:43,556
as having the ability
to walk on its hind legs,
268
00:13:43,589 --> 00:13:49,200
glowing eyes, and having five
or six talons rather than four.
269
00:13:50,202 --> 00:13:53,341
They didn't use
the word "werewolf."
270
00:13:53,408 --> 00:13:56,649
They used descriptions of
this creature that made it easy
271
00:13:56,916 --> 00:13:59,420
to believe that this
could indeed be a werewolf.
272
00:14:01,324 --> 00:14:03,930
GERHARD:
The Beast of Gévaudan is
one of France's
273
00:14:04,063 --> 00:14:06,602
most enduring
and popular mysteries.
274
00:14:06,602 --> 00:14:08,271
There are museums.
275
00:14:09,273 --> 00:14:11,078
There are statues.
276
00:14:11,211 --> 00:14:13,482
There are songs.
There are stories.
277
00:14:13,616 --> 00:14:16,823
This was like
a real-life nightmare.
278
00:14:16,956 --> 00:14:18,793
To this day,
the Beast of Gévaudan
279
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,298
is celebrated in French culture,
280
00:14:21,364 --> 00:14:23,535
and it really has
a profound effect on people.
281
00:14:24,638 --> 00:14:28,012
SHATNER:
The descriptions of the beast
were so terrifying
282
00:14:28,078 --> 00:14:30,349
that it's not surprising
locals thought
283
00:14:30,482 --> 00:14:34,825
it was some kind
of supernatural monster.
284
00:14:34,958 --> 00:14:37,798
But there were
scientists at the time
285
00:14:37,964 --> 00:14:40,536
who proposed a different theory.
286
00:14:40,637 --> 00:14:43,275
SMITH:
Among the many hypotheses
that emerged
287
00:14:43,375 --> 00:14:45,848
was that the beast
might be an African hyena.
288
00:14:45,980 --> 00:14:49,988
The hyena was this
very mysterious creature
289
00:14:50,088 --> 00:14:52,928
that lots of naturalists
and others wrote about
290
00:14:53,128 --> 00:14:56,001
in the 1750s and '60s.
291
00:14:56,134 --> 00:14:58,305
GERHARD:
The general description of
292
00:14:58,405 --> 00:15:01,278
the Beast of Gévaudan
was a wolflike creature
293
00:15:01,344 --> 00:15:05,519
but bigger, the size
of a mule or a calf, perhaps.
294
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:05,520
but bigger, the size
of a mule or a calf, perhaps.
It had a large head.
295
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,691
It had a large head.
296
00:15:07,958 --> 00:15:11,498
It had a long muzzle,
lined with razor-sharp teeth.
297
00:15:11,531 --> 00:15:13,703
Pointy ears.
298
00:15:13,703 --> 00:15:13,804
Pointy ears.
A long tail with
a tuft of fur on the end.
299
00:15:13,804 --> 00:15:17,009
A long tail with
a tuft of fur on the end.
300
00:15:17,978 --> 00:15:20,115
The coat of fur was
typically described
301
00:15:20,182 --> 00:15:24,223
as a reddish brown or gray,
with a black stripe
302
00:15:24,323 --> 00:15:27,196
running down the back,
and a white breast.
303
00:15:28,064 --> 00:15:30,135
These are hyena-like
characteristics.
304
00:15:32,707 --> 00:15:35,380
MAXEY:
Back in the day,
kings and even people of status
305
00:15:35,445 --> 00:15:38,152
had exotic pets,
they had exotic zoos.
306
00:15:38,251 --> 00:15:40,690
Who's to say
that a hyena didn't escape?
307
00:15:40,690 --> 00:15:40,757
Who's to say
that a hyena didn't escape?
If you take a look
at the victims,
308
00:15:40,757 --> 00:15:43,328
If you take a look
at the victims,
309
00:15:43,428 --> 00:15:47,737
their chest cavities torn apart,
their limbs missing,
310
00:15:47,737 --> 00:15:47,771
their chest cavities torn apart,
their limbs missing,
their heads decapitated.
311
00:15:47,771 --> 00:15:50,176
their heads decapitated.
312
00:15:50,309 --> 00:15:53,783
This all resembles
attacks of a hyena.
313
00:15:55,352 --> 00:15:58,693
SHATNER:
Could the Beast of Gévaudan have
been an escaped African hyena?
314
00:15:58,726 --> 00:16:00,797
Perhaps.
315
00:16:00,797 --> 00:16:00,864
Perhaps.
But some researchers
have suggested
316
00:16:00,864 --> 00:16:03,068
But some researchers
have suggested
317
00:16:03,235 --> 00:16:05,774
a less exotic possibility.
318
00:16:06,074 --> 00:16:08,145
GERHARD:
There are a number
of arguments for
319
00:16:08,178 --> 00:16:11,284
the Beast of Gévaudan
actually being a killer wolf.
320
00:16:12,453 --> 00:16:16,361
Wolves typically are very
timid animals around humans.
321
00:16:16,461 --> 00:16:19,066
But there have been
some 9,000 wolf attacks
322
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,606
in France over the centuries.
323
00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:25,145
And there was also a theory
that the beast attacks may have
324
00:16:25,212 --> 00:16:28,853
been perpetrated by a wolf
that had come down with rabies.
325
00:16:29,788 --> 00:16:32,493
SHATNER:
According to experts,
rabid wolves often lose
326
00:16:32,526 --> 00:16:36,902
their innate fear of humans,
and walk with a strange gait.
327
00:16:37,771 --> 00:16:40,309
Which are behaviors described
in the eyewitness accounts
328
00:16:40,475 --> 00:16:42,547
of the Beast of Gévaudan.
329
00:16:44,551 --> 00:16:48,158
But while the rabid wolf theory
may make sense,
330
00:16:48,258 --> 00:16:50,363
the best clue
scientists have today
331
00:16:50,529 --> 00:16:52,533
about the beast's identity
332
00:16:52,634 --> 00:16:56,240
was obtained on the day
it was reportedly killed.
333
00:16:57,443 --> 00:16:59,480
The beast's
reign of terror ended
334
00:16:59,480 --> 00:16:59,481
The beast's
reign of terror ended
on June 19, 1767,
335
00:16:59,481 --> 00:17:03,122
on June 19, 1767,
336
00:17:03,254 --> 00:17:05,660
when a local hunter
named Jean Chastel
337
00:17:05,660 --> 00:17:07,797
felled the monster
338
00:17:07,797 --> 00:17:07,898
felled the monster
with one shot
of a silver bullet.
339
00:17:07,898 --> 00:17:10,102
with one shot
of a silver bullet.
340
00:17:14,443 --> 00:17:16,682
After Chastel shot
this strange creature,
341
00:17:16,782 --> 00:17:18,987
the killings actually stopped,
so everyone was
342
00:17:19,253 --> 00:17:21,725
in agreement that-that he had
actually killed the beast.
343
00:17:23,395 --> 00:17:26,501
A surgeon who conducted
an autopsy determined
344
00:17:26,568 --> 00:17:30,009
that while it resembled a wolf,
it was not a wolf.
345
00:17:30,142 --> 00:17:32,513
And in fact,
it possessed 40 teeth
346
00:17:32,681 --> 00:17:35,219
compared to a wolf's 42 teeth,
347
00:17:35,385 --> 00:17:37,724
which is quite strange.
348
00:17:39,695 --> 00:17:42,199
The beast's remains
were paraded around
349
00:17:42,299 --> 00:17:44,705
the Gévaudan region
for weeks thereafter.
350
00:17:44,838 --> 00:17:46,675
And by the time
the carcass was taken
351
00:17:46,775 --> 00:17:49,514
to the Palace of Versailles
and presented
352
00:17:49,648 --> 00:17:52,754
to King Louis XV,
it was so smelly
353
00:17:52,754 --> 00:17:52,788
to King Louis XV,
it was so smelly
that he immediately demanded
354
00:17:52,788 --> 00:17:54,424
that he immediately demanded
355
00:17:54,558 --> 00:17:56,160
that it be removed
from the palace.
356
00:17:56,260 --> 00:17:58,164
And to this day,
nobody knows what happened
357
00:17:58,298 --> 00:18:00,135
to those remains--
they vanished.
358
00:18:01,437 --> 00:18:03,508
Ultimately,
while some people feel
359
00:18:03,541 --> 00:18:07,516
the Beast of Gévaudan may have
been a supernatural phenomenon,
360
00:18:07,584 --> 00:18:11,759
the deaths, the occurrences
documented, they're real.
361
00:18:11,859 --> 00:18:16,467
And the Beast of Gévaudan
remains a great mystery.
362
00:18:17,871 --> 00:18:21,478
Was the Beast of Gévaudan
a common wolf
363
00:18:21,612 --> 00:18:23,682
or something
even more terrifying?
364
00:18:24,584 --> 00:18:27,658
Either way,
this deadly creature drove fear
365
00:18:27,757 --> 00:18:29,995
into the hearts of people
all over France.
366
00:18:30,262 --> 00:18:33,770
And that was also the case
more than a century later,
367
00:18:33,836 --> 00:18:37,611
in the United States,
when a wave of panic was caused
368
00:18:37,744 --> 00:18:41,785
by the attacks
of a great white shark.
369
00:18:49,433 --> 00:18:51,839
SHATNER:
25-year-old Charles Vansant
is swimming
370
00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:51,872
SHATNER:
25-year-old Charles Vansant
is swimming
in the brisk Atlantic waters
371
00:18:51,872 --> 00:18:53,743
in the brisk Atlantic waters
372
00:18:53,843 --> 00:18:56,081
off the coast
of this resort community...
373
00:18:57,182 --> 00:19:00,055
...when he's suddenly
attacked by a massive shark.
374
00:19:00,255 --> 00:19:02,695
(screaming)
375
00:19:02,794 --> 00:19:05,432
Lifeguards pull Vansant
from the water
376
00:19:05,499 --> 00:19:08,639
and see that his left thigh
has been stripped of its flesh
377
00:19:08,773 --> 00:19:12,312
by a massive set
of razor-sharp jaws.
378
00:19:12,981 --> 00:19:14,652
CAPUZZO:
The story is that they had to
379
00:19:14,751 --> 00:19:16,589
almost wrestle him away
from the shark.
380
00:19:16,622 --> 00:19:19,360
As they pulled him ashore with
the shark following him still,
381
00:19:19,427 --> 00:19:21,164
his father, who was a doctor,
operated on him
382
00:19:21,330 --> 00:19:22,668
or tried to save his life,
383
00:19:22,767 --> 00:19:24,738
but he died of...
of a flesh wound to...
384
00:19:24,838 --> 00:19:27,343
a bite on his...
his thigh, actually,
385
00:19:27,509 --> 00:19:29,714
and, uh, loss of blood.
386
00:19:31,517 --> 00:19:33,656
SHATNER:
The gory death
of Charles Vansant was
387
00:19:33,722 --> 00:19:37,797
the first recorded fatal
shark attack in U.S. history.
388
00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:41,606
And then on July 6th,
389
00:19:41,705 --> 00:19:44,978
a mere five days
after Vansant was killed,
390
00:19:45,278 --> 00:19:48,687
there was another attack
along the Jersey Shore.
391
00:19:48,819 --> 00:19:52,760
Charles Bruder,
who was a 27-year-old
392
00:19:52,894 --> 00:19:54,831
Swiss native
who was in the army,
393
00:19:54,831 --> 00:19:56,568
went for a swim,
394
00:19:56,668 --> 00:19:59,106
and 1,200 feet out,
in the middle of the day,
395
00:19:59,273 --> 00:20:01,378
was attacked and bitten
396
00:20:01,477 --> 00:20:02,947
by what appeared to be
about an eight-
397
00:20:02,947 --> 00:20:02,981
by what appeared to be
about an eight-
or nine-foot great white shark
398
00:20:02,981 --> 00:20:04,851
or nine-foot great white shark
399
00:20:04,951 --> 00:20:07,657
that severed his legs
and a part of his torso.
400
00:20:07,757 --> 00:20:10,731
By the time
the lifeguards got out there,
401
00:20:10,830 --> 00:20:12,967
there was hardly
anything to lift into the boat.
402
00:20:14,036 --> 00:20:18,411
SHATNER:
This second deadly attack was
widely reported in newspapers
403
00:20:18,478 --> 00:20:22,519
across the country,
and set off a nationwide panic.
404
00:20:22,620 --> 00:20:25,693
Many people believed
it was no longer safe
405
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,566
to swim in the ocean
off the coast of New Jersey.
406
00:20:28,632 --> 00:20:32,339
And several beaches
were closed by the authorities.
407
00:20:32,472 --> 00:20:34,978
The public reaction
was hysterical.
408
00:20:35,045 --> 00:20:37,718
There were calls all the way up
to President Wilson.
409
00:20:37,851 --> 00:20:40,422
Woodrow Wilson had
a cabinet meeting
410
00:20:40,455 --> 00:20:43,495
and talked to the early men
who founded the Coast Guard
411
00:20:43,596 --> 00:20:45,734
about eradicating all the sharks
on the East Coast.
412
00:20:45,833 --> 00:20:48,939
Bounties were given
by towns and cities,
413
00:20:49,006 --> 00:20:53,549
and anybody that could kill
any shark could get $100.
414
00:20:53,616 --> 00:20:57,557
You had fishermen going out,
catching and killing sharks.
415
00:20:57,690 --> 00:20:59,995
And it wasn't
just in New Jersey.
416
00:21:00,095 --> 00:21:02,634
It was all up and down
the Eastern Seaboard
417
00:21:02,734 --> 00:21:06,875
and even infiltrated
into the coastal states,
418
00:21:06,875 --> 00:21:06,876
and even infiltrated
into the coastal states,
Texas, Louisiana,
419
00:21:06,876 --> 00:21:09,013
Texas, Louisiana,
420
00:21:09,046 --> 00:21:13,421
and as far as the Pacific coast
of North America.
421
00:21:14,456 --> 00:21:16,595
SHATNER:
Less than one week
after Charles Bruder
422
00:21:16,762 --> 00:21:18,733
was killed, on July 12th,
423
00:21:18,766 --> 00:21:23,375
three more people were attacked
by what many witnesses claimed
424
00:21:23,508 --> 00:21:25,914
was an eight-
or nine-foot shark.
425
00:21:25,980 --> 00:21:29,420
Curiously, all five
of these incidents took place
426
00:21:29,486 --> 00:21:32,961
along a 50-mile stretch
off the coast of New Jersey.
427
00:21:33,061 --> 00:21:35,633
Because of their proximity
and the similarities
428
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,004
between eyewitness accounts,
429
00:21:38,071 --> 00:21:41,110
many began to wonder
whether the horrific attacks
430
00:21:41,410 --> 00:21:46,421
could have been the work
of a single killer shark.
431
00:21:46,487 --> 00:21:48,893
CAPUZZO:
The New Jersey attacks
are so strange,
432
00:21:48,926 --> 00:21:52,032
'cause sharks don't kill people
with any kind of regularity
433
00:21:52,032 --> 00:21:52,065
'cause sharks don't kill people
with any kind of regularity
and nobody witnesses it
434
00:21:52,065 --> 00:21:53,770
and nobody witnesses it
435
00:21:53,869 --> 00:21:55,773
with any kind of regularity
when it happens.
436
00:21:55,940 --> 00:21:57,777
But the concept of a rogue shark
437
00:21:57,911 --> 00:21:59,715
that kills or injuries
one person
438
00:21:59,814 --> 00:22:02,053
and that gets a taste
for human flesh
439
00:22:02,152 --> 00:22:04,791
and goes after another
like a serial killer,
440
00:22:04,891 --> 00:22:06,494
the Jersey Shore may be
the best evidence
441
00:22:06,628 --> 00:22:08,332
we have that
that's ever happened.
442
00:22:08,498 --> 00:22:10,837
SHATNER:
On July 14, 1916,
443
00:22:10,937 --> 00:22:13,843
two weeks after
the first fatal attack,
444
00:22:13,943 --> 00:22:16,815
a taxidermist named
Michael Schleisser caught
445
00:22:16,882 --> 00:22:20,990
a seven-and-a-half-foot,
325-pound great white shark
446
00:22:21,090 --> 00:22:24,865
off the northern end
of the Jersey Shore.
447
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,573
After cutting open its stomach,
authorities found what appeared
448
00:22:28,706 --> 00:22:32,045
to be partially digested
human remains.
449
00:22:33,448 --> 00:22:37,490
There are many who believe
that this great white shark was
450
00:22:37,557 --> 00:22:40,630
responsible for all
five attacks that took place,
451
00:22:40,796 --> 00:22:43,335
four of which were fatal.
452
00:22:43,434 --> 00:22:46,341
Fatal shark attacks
on humans are seldom
453
00:22:46,507 --> 00:22:48,478
predatory for feeding.
454
00:22:48,545 --> 00:22:51,485
So what was going on
that would cause a series
455
00:22:51,585 --> 00:22:55,560
of five attacks
over a 11-day period,
456
00:22:55,726 --> 00:22:57,563
what was behind all of this?
457
00:22:58,565 --> 00:23:00,402
People panicked.
458
00:23:00,535 --> 00:23:03,074
No one wanted
to go in the ocean.
459
00:23:03,141 --> 00:23:07,584
So its effect on individuals,
citizens, was enormous.
460
00:23:08,518 --> 00:23:11,157
And it was something that,
to this day,
461
00:23:11,157 --> 00:23:11,191
And it was something that,
to this day,
still has an effect on us.
462
00:23:11,191 --> 00:23:13,730
still has an effect on us.
463
00:23:14,831 --> 00:23:17,770
SHATNER:
The 1916 Jersey Shore attacks
helped to popularize
464
00:23:17,870 --> 00:23:21,778
the notion of sharks
as deadly man-eaters.
465
00:23:22,613 --> 00:23:24,752
More than 50 years later,
the killings inspired
466
00:23:24,884 --> 00:23:27,924
the 1974 novel Jaws
by Peter Benchley,
467
00:23:28,024 --> 00:23:30,630
which became the basis
of the blockbuster film
468
00:23:30,763 --> 00:23:33,302
made by Steven Spielberg
that terrorized
469
00:23:33,468 --> 00:23:36,007
generations of beachgoers.
470
00:23:37,509 --> 00:23:40,416
But despite
their bad reputation,
471
00:23:40,515 --> 00:23:44,356
the truth is that
sharks rarely kill humans.
472
00:23:44,523 --> 00:23:46,662
According to statistics gathered
473
00:23:46,795 --> 00:23:48,699
by the International
Shark Attack File,
474
00:23:48,766 --> 00:23:52,540
on average, there are
only five fatal shark attacks
475
00:23:52,707 --> 00:23:54,711
worldwide per year.
476
00:23:55,579 --> 00:23:57,951
So why does
the belief persist that
477
00:23:58,051 --> 00:24:01,558
some sharks are
a serious threat to humans?
478
00:24:03,662 --> 00:24:06,368
Over the years,
sharks, especially white sharks,
479
00:24:06,534 --> 00:24:08,238
have been portrayed as killers.
480
00:24:08,504 --> 00:24:11,477
Unfortunately, people
are killed from time to time.
481
00:24:11,678 --> 00:24:13,716
It has been postulated
482
00:24:13,849 --> 00:24:16,153
that white sharks' hunting has
483
00:24:16,220 --> 00:24:20,496
similarities into the tactics
utilized by serial killers.
484
00:24:21,698 --> 00:24:25,271
Serial killers use what is
referred to as an anchor point,
485
00:24:25,271 --> 00:24:25,372
Serial killers use what is
referred to as an anchor point,
which is where
they will sit and watch
486
00:24:25,372 --> 00:24:28,378
which is where
they will sit and watch
487
00:24:28,545 --> 00:24:30,683
and pick their victim.
488
00:24:30,816 --> 00:24:32,754
White sharks do the same thing.
489
00:24:32,887 --> 00:24:35,827
White sharks like
to hunt stealth,
490
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,932
where the intended victim
can't see them.
491
00:24:40,770 --> 00:24:42,874
MAXEY:
A lot of people often
look at sharks and think
492
00:24:43,007 --> 00:24:44,844
that there's nothing going on.
493
00:24:44,978 --> 00:24:47,584
But great whites
are intelligent animals.
494
00:24:47,683 --> 00:24:49,988
We've watched
great whites attack seals.
495
00:24:50,054 --> 00:24:53,962
And you'll find the older
great whites will pick out
496
00:24:54,062 --> 00:24:56,701
specific individuals,
usually young ones.
497
00:24:58,004 --> 00:24:59,741
It's very methodical.
498
00:24:59,908 --> 00:25:03,181
So it is 100% possible
499
00:25:03,247 --> 00:25:06,020
that some sharks
like the taste of people.
500
00:25:07,122 --> 00:25:09,961
SHATNER:
Are there certain sharks
that specifically
501
00:25:10,128 --> 00:25:13,168
and methodically hunt people?
502
00:25:13,234 --> 00:25:17,109
Some marine biologists
have suggested it's possible.
503
00:25:17,142 --> 00:25:20,883
But if this theory is true,
then what's even more disturbing
504
00:25:20,983 --> 00:25:24,658
is that a killer shark
may keep stalking people
505
00:25:24,824 --> 00:25:27,964
for a very long, long time.
506
00:25:28,999 --> 00:25:32,072
Great whites can live
to be 80-plus years old.
507
00:25:32,139 --> 00:25:35,045
There are some accounts
of specimens being over 100.
508
00:25:35,946 --> 00:25:38,886
They study their subjects
just like a serial killer.
509
00:25:38,919 --> 00:25:42,159
They learn from their mistakes
just like a serial killer.
510
00:25:42,159 --> 00:25:44,731
That's terrifying.
511
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,939
Is it possible that some sharks
512
00:25:49,072 --> 00:25:51,912
methodically stalk human beings?
513
00:25:51,945 --> 00:25:53,682
Perhaps.
514
00:25:53,782 --> 00:25:55,686
But there is one
man-eating creature
515
00:25:55,853 --> 00:25:57,724
that we know has definitely
516
00:25:57,857 --> 00:26:00,797
been targeting humans
for decades.
517
00:26:00,963 --> 00:26:03,636
A massive crocodile
518
00:26:03,802 --> 00:26:05,606
that doesn't eat its victims
519
00:26:05,739 --> 00:26:08,311
but rather appears
to kill people
520
00:26:08,311 --> 00:26:08,345
but rather appears
to kill people
just for the thrill of it.
521
00:26:08,345 --> 00:26:10,816
just for the thrill of it.
522
00:26:16,661 --> 00:26:19,233
SHATNER:
February 19, 1945.
523
00:26:20,068 --> 00:26:22,472
On this 500-square-mile island,
524
00:26:22,740 --> 00:26:26,615
Allied British forces
drive 1,000 Japanese soldiers
525
00:26:26,681 --> 00:26:31,056
deep into the murky waters
of a ten-mile swamp.
526
00:26:32,660 --> 00:26:35,432
But as night falls,
the Japanese soon realize
527
00:26:35,699 --> 00:26:39,273
that they're being hunted by
a very different kind of enemy,
528
00:26:39,273 --> 00:26:39,339
that they're being hunted by
a very different kind of enemy,
as one by one, they're killed
529
00:26:39,339 --> 00:26:42,546
as one by one, they're killed
530
00:26:42,647 --> 00:26:45,786
by a group
of massive crocodiles.
531
00:26:47,990 --> 00:26:51,898
These crocodiles were giant--
15, 16 feet long--
532
00:26:51,998 --> 00:26:55,271
and they went
on a killing rampage.
533
00:26:57,209 --> 00:27:01,317
There were accounts
of bloodcurdling screams
534
00:27:01,317 --> 00:27:01,384
There were accounts
of bloodcurdling screams
from men trying
to save other men
535
00:27:01,384 --> 00:27:04,256
from men trying
to save other men
536
00:27:04,389 --> 00:27:07,630
from the jaws
of hungry crocodiles.
537
00:27:07,730 --> 00:27:10,636
During the night,
those crocodiles killed
538
00:27:10,836 --> 00:27:13,742
over 500 people.
539
00:27:15,078 --> 00:27:19,319
LESLIE:
It's the classic example
of a crocodile feeding frenzy.
540
00:27:20,188 --> 00:27:22,293
The men who were forced
into the swamp
541
00:27:22,392 --> 00:27:25,398
had wounds,
they were bleeding anyway.
542
00:27:25,398 --> 00:27:25,465
had wounds,
they were bleeding anyway.
That's a sure sign
for a crocodile
543
00:27:25,465 --> 00:27:27,102
That's a sure sign
for a crocodile
544
00:27:27,202 --> 00:27:29,006
to start attacking,
the smell of blood.
545
00:27:30,008 --> 00:27:33,147
It must have been something
unbelievable to go through.
546
00:27:33,281 --> 00:27:35,218
REAGAN:
I think the situation was
547
00:27:35,285 --> 00:27:38,458
an encroachment of the humans
into the crocodiles' territory.
548
00:27:38,725 --> 00:27:42,132
And the crocodiles were
just seizing an opportunity.
549
00:27:42,299 --> 00:27:44,136
It's like getting a free meal.
550
00:27:44,303 --> 00:27:46,474
You're not gonna turn it down.
551
00:27:46,741 --> 00:27:49,046
SHATNER:
By morning,
less than half of the 1,000
552
00:27:49,046 --> 00:27:53,287
Japanese soldiers who entered
the swamp came out alive.
553
00:27:53,421 --> 00:27:55,458
Because of
the incredible death toll,
554
00:27:55,458 --> 00:27:55,525
Because of
the incredible death toll,
the incident at Ramree Island
555
00:27:55,525 --> 00:27:57,296
the incident at Ramree Island
556
00:27:57,429 --> 00:27:59,668
is considered by some
to be the worst
557
00:27:59,801 --> 00:28:03,175
crocodile attack ever recorded.
558
00:28:03,307 --> 00:28:07,717
It's also a grim reminder
that crocodiles
559
00:28:07,850 --> 00:28:10,623
are one of the deadliest
and oldest
560
00:28:10,789 --> 00:28:13,027
species on the planet.
561
00:28:13,060 --> 00:28:17,469
Crocodiles have been around
for over 240 million years.
562
00:28:19,072 --> 00:28:22,747
Way before birds, mammals
and modern-day reptiles.
563
00:28:22,813 --> 00:28:26,120
Crocodiles appeared
25 million years
564
00:28:26,186 --> 00:28:29,126
before the dinosaurs and are
their closest living relatives.
565
00:28:29,192 --> 00:28:33,134
They share a lot of
the same features as dinosaurs,
566
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,176
including hip-like arrangements
that you can see in birds,
567
00:28:37,342 --> 00:28:39,379
and they have teeth in sockets,
568
00:28:39,479 --> 00:28:43,020
unlike teeth
that are fused to the jawbone.
569
00:28:44,857 --> 00:28:47,831
Since the very beginning
of our evolution,
570
00:28:47,963 --> 00:28:50,101
we have lived
alongside crocodiles
571
00:28:50,201 --> 00:28:52,573
and have been eaten
by crocodiles throughout.
572
00:28:53,507 --> 00:28:57,048
They're known for their strength
or their ferocity.
573
00:28:58,284 --> 00:29:01,523
And we're really a snack to
some of the larger crocodiles.
574
00:29:03,194 --> 00:29:04,998
SHATNER:
East Africa.
575
00:29:05,098 --> 00:29:08,705
At 410 miles long
and nearly 5,000 feet deep,
576
00:29:08,972 --> 00:29:13,215
Lake Tanganyika on the border
of Tanzania and the Congo is
577
00:29:13,247 --> 00:29:16,622
the longest and second deepest
freshwater lake in the world.
578
00:29:17,522 --> 00:29:19,995
Thousands of people
rely on it to survive,
579
00:29:20,128 --> 00:29:23,401
even though
they are aware of a terror
580
00:29:23,401 --> 00:29:23,434
even though
they are aware of a terror
lurking beneath its surface.
581
00:29:23,434 --> 00:29:26,107
lurking beneath its surface.
582
00:29:27,275 --> 00:29:32,953
A massive crocodile that the
locals have nicknamed Gustave.
583
00:29:33,020 --> 00:29:36,862
MAXEY:
Gustave is an infamous
Nile crocodile.
584
00:29:36,995 --> 00:29:39,099
He's supposedly over 18 feet
585
00:29:39,266 --> 00:29:42,272
and weighs over 2,000 pounds.
586
00:29:42,405 --> 00:29:43,943
And experts also believe
he's anywhere
587
00:29:44,142 --> 00:29:46,848
from 80 to 90 years old.
588
00:29:47,015 --> 00:29:49,854
He is a prolific man-eater.
589
00:29:51,056 --> 00:29:53,194
These victims were women,
590
00:29:53,327 --> 00:29:55,498
were children, were fishermen.
591
00:29:57,168 --> 00:29:59,273
LESLIE:
Gustave is a killing machine.
592
00:29:59,372 --> 00:30:02,346
Accounts of people
being taken by Gustave
593
00:30:02,445 --> 00:30:04,684
are pretty rife out there
in the villages.
594
00:30:04,951 --> 00:30:07,389
The locals want him dead
because they believed he was
595
00:30:07,489 --> 00:30:10,128
the monster crocodile
that was habituating
596
00:30:10,294 --> 00:30:12,032
that lower section of river
597
00:30:12,132 --> 00:30:14,069
and was responsible
for all those deaths.
598
00:30:14,169 --> 00:30:17,042
He's definitely been
shot at a couple of times.
599
00:30:17,108 --> 00:30:18,846
There's a scar on his head,
and there's another one
600
00:30:19,045 --> 00:30:20,315
between his shoulders.
601
00:30:20,415 --> 00:30:22,352
But what also made
killing him difficult
602
00:30:22,419 --> 00:30:25,458
is that Gustave often
disappeared for months on end.
603
00:30:25,525 --> 00:30:28,531
At one point in time,
nobody saw him for 18 months.
604
00:30:28,598 --> 00:30:32,305
SHATNER:
So far, no one has been able
to capture
605
00:30:32,472 --> 00:30:35,579
or kill this deadly crocodile.
606
00:30:35,679 --> 00:30:38,351
It is estimated that
Gustave is responsible
607
00:30:38,417 --> 00:30:43,461
for killing at least 300 people
between 1987 and 2015.
608
00:30:43,595 --> 00:30:46,835
But, curiously,
it seems that Gustave
609
00:30:46,968 --> 00:30:50,242
doesn't always eat his victims.
610
00:30:50,341 --> 00:30:53,916
According to the locals,
he may hunt humans
611
00:30:54,082 --> 00:30:57,055
simply because he enjoys it.
612
00:30:57,155 --> 00:31:00,094
Gustave has claimed
many, many victims.
613
00:31:00,194 --> 00:31:03,100
More than any other
crocodile in history.
614
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,405
If you look
at the sheer number of people
615
00:31:05,471 --> 00:31:08,011
that Gustave has killed,
and the fact that he doesn't
616
00:31:08,110 --> 00:31:11,150
always eat his victims,
it's puzzling.
617
00:31:11,250 --> 00:31:13,454
It's almost as if
he's doing it for sport.
618
00:31:14,489 --> 00:31:16,628
LESLIE:
Most villagers think
that Gustave picks on
619
00:31:16,628 --> 00:31:16,661
LESLIE:
Most villagers think
that Gustave picks on
human beings in particular.
620
00:31:16,661 --> 00:31:18,164
human beings in particular.
621
00:31:18,364 --> 00:31:19,835
There's rumors about how
622
00:31:19,967 --> 00:31:22,573
he follows
and he stalks his-his prey.
623
00:31:22,573 --> 00:31:22,574
he follows
and he stalks his-his prey.
He watches you.
624
00:31:22,574 --> 00:31:25,111
He watches you.
625
00:31:25,211 --> 00:31:28,117
He has a memory--
he knows who's where,
626
00:31:28,250 --> 00:31:30,054
he knows where
the boat ramps are.
627
00:31:30,121 --> 00:31:32,994
We don't hear about many
serial man-eating crocodiles,
628
00:31:33,127 --> 00:31:34,864
so from a scientific
point of view,
629
00:31:34,997 --> 00:31:37,468
it's also a bit of an enigma.
630
00:31:38,738 --> 00:31:42,580
SHATNER:
The last known sighting
of Gustave was in 2015,
631
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,385
but the fear that he will
reemerge from the waters
632
00:31:45,418 --> 00:31:49,994
of Lake Tanganyika has kept
authorities on constant alert,
633
00:31:50,127 --> 00:31:52,532
in the hope that
they can capture Gustave
634
00:31:52,532 --> 00:31:52,567
in the hope that
they can capture Gustave
before he kills again.
635
00:31:52,567 --> 00:31:56,240
before he kills again.
636
00:31:57,275 --> 00:32:00,415
LESLIE:
None of us know if
Gustave is actually still alive.
637
00:32:00,481 --> 00:32:04,089
He's so famous that if
he had died or been killed,
638
00:32:04,155 --> 00:32:07,262
somebody would have had
that skin or had that skeleton
639
00:32:07,395 --> 00:32:09,466
or taken
some photos or something.
640
00:32:09,533 --> 00:32:13,441
So I wouldn't be surprised
if he's still out there.
641
00:32:13,575 --> 00:32:17,215
The idea that
a 2,000-pound crocodile
642
00:32:17,382 --> 00:32:19,353
enjoys attacking humans
643
00:32:19,486 --> 00:32:21,490
is frightening,
to say the least.
644
00:32:21,558 --> 00:32:25,198
But in Russia, many believe
it was a darker motivation
645
00:32:25,264 --> 00:32:28,605
that caused a fearsome tiger
to take a human life.
646
00:32:28,705 --> 00:32:31,845
Because this predator
may have killed its victim
647
00:32:32,045 --> 00:32:34,684
as an act of revenge.
648
00:32:42,265 --> 00:32:45,438
SHATNER:
In the cold, unforgiving
forests of eastern Siberia,
649
00:32:45,538 --> 00:32:48,510
a local hunter named
Vladimir Markov discovers
650
00:32:48,645 --> 00:32:50,314
the bloody carcass
of a wild boar
651
00:32:50,448 --> 00:32:52,553
lying half-eaten in the snow.
652
00:32:53,588 --> 00:32:56,695
He instantly realizes
he's in great danger,
653
00:32:56,761 --> 00:32:59,499
because he has just stumbled
upon a fresh kill
654
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,073
made by one of Russia's
most dangerous predators.
655
00:33:04,075 --> 00:33:06,581
The Siberian tiger.
656
00:33:06,614 --> 00:33:09,419
McCANN:
At the point
where Vladimir Markov realized
657
00:33:09,486 --> 00:33:12,458
that he was coming upon
a tiger's kill, he knew that
658
00:33:12,492 --> 00:33:14,697
the tiger will still be there,
because it'll still feed
659
00:33:14,764 --> 00:33:17,068
upon that kill until
there's nothing left to feed on.
660
00:33:17,168 --> 00:33:19,774
So if he doesn't shoot
that tiger first,
661
00:33:19,774 --> 00:33:21,611
the tiger will kill him.
662
00:33:21,678 --> 00:33:24,684
So it was a case for him
of "kill or be killed."
663
00:33:25,619 --> 00:33:28,157
SHATNER:
As the tiger approached Markov
to defend its kill,
664
00:33:28,290 --> 00:33:30,362
-he fired his rifle.
-(gunshot)
665
00:33:30,494 --> 00:33:32,800
But only wounded the angry cat.
666
00:33:33,067 --> 00:33:36,039
Injured, the tiger retreated
back into the forest.
667
00:33:36,139 --> 00:33:40,382
But that's not
the end of the story.
668
00:33:41,383 --> 00:33:43,655
Because two days later, the
local authorities were informed
669
00:33:43,755 --> 00:33:46,360
that Markov had been
attacked and killed
670
00:33:46,526 --> 00:33:49,399
at his home by a vicious tiger.
671
00:33:50,334 --> 00:33:53,374
When investigators arrived
at Markov's log cabin,
672
00:33:53,540 --> 00:33:57,348
they found a disturbing scene.
673
00:33:58,384 --> 00:33:59,654
(man speaking Russian)
674
00:33:59,754 --> 00:34:02,158
It's pretty remarkable
seeing the images.
675
00:34:02,258 --> 00:34:05,364
There was obviously
quite a lot of blood.
676
00:34:05,498 --> 00:34:07,670
The clothes
are tattered everywhere.
677
00:34:08,672 --> 00:34:12,780
Often, when tigers kill people,
it's not necessarily for food.
678
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,953
But in Markov's case,
the tiger ate everything
679
00:34:16,119 --> 00:34:17,422
it possibly could of him.
680
00:34:17,556 --> 00:34:19,661
It wanted to leave
no trace of the man.
681
00:34:19,727 --> 00:34:23,067
The strangest part
of the Vladimir Markov story
682
00:34:23,167 --> 00:34:25,906
is the fact that the tiger
actively destroyed
683
00:34:26,173 --> 00:34:29,379
everything around that lodge
that had Vladimir's scent on it.
684
00:34:29,412 --> 00:34:33,521
Just destroyed it
in seemingly a fit of anger.
685
00:34:34,724 --> 00:34:37,529
SHATNER:
But even more unsettling than
the gruesome killing itself
686
00:34:37,629 --> 00:34:40,569
was the fact that investigators
later determined
687
00:34:40,669 --> 00:34:43,074
that Markov was eaten
by the same tiger
688
00:34:43,240 --> 00:34:46,213
he had shot with his rifle.
689
00:34:48,250 --> 00:34:50,488
McCANN:
The tiger tracked Vladimir
back to his hunting lodge,
690
00:34:50,655 --> 00:34:53,862
a distance of 11 kilometers.
691
00:34:53,862 --> 00:34:53,896
a distance of 11 kilometers.
And then it waited.
692
00:34:53,896 --> 00:34:55,866
And then it waited.
693
00:34:55,866 --> 00:34:55,933
And then it waited.
That is what is remarkable.
694
00:34:55,933 --> 00:34:57,269
That is what is remarkable.
695
00:34:57,468 --> 00:34:59,641
It waited, we think,
696
00:34:59,740 --> 00:35:02,579
around 48 hours
for him to return to that lodge.
697
00:35:02,746 --> 00:35:05,719
And then when Vladimir returned,
698
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,790
it killed him.
699
00:35:08,925 --> 00:35:12,031
SHATNER:
The story of Vladimir Markov's
death at the hands
700
00:35:12,165 --> 00:35:14,169
of a deadly tiger
is frightening,
701
00:35:14,335 --> 00:35:17,509
but it's also mysterious.
702
00:35:17,576 --> 00:35:20,115
Because while animals
will naturally defend themselves
703
00:35:20,214 --> 00:35:24,322
when attacked,
this tiger tracked Markov down
704
00:35:24,489 --> 00:35:26,794
over an unusually long distance.
705
00:35:27,730 --> 00:35:29,800
But why?
706
00:35:29,900 --> 00:35:32,673
Big predators will kill
smaller predators
707
00:35:32,740 --> 00:35:35,579
with which they compete,
and there's a long history
708
00:35:35,679 --> 00:35:37,817
of human competition
with predators.
709
00:35:38,718 --> 00:35:40,923
So it's possible
the tiger was viewing this
710
00:35:41,189 --> 00:35:43,360
as competition, and I want
to get rid of a competitor
711
00:35:43,460 --> 00:35:45,799
because this is
a threat to my livelihood.
712
00:35:45,799 --> 00:35:45,866
because this is
a threat to my livelihood.
So don't steal food from tigers,
713
00:35:45,866 --> 00:35:48,705
So don't steal food from tigers,
714
00:35:48,772 --> 00:35:51,744
is the lesson that stands out
from Markov's story.
715
00:35:52,813 --> 00:35:55,552
SHATNER:
Did the tiger kill Markov
because it viewed him
716
00:35:55,652 --> 00:35:58,659
as a threat to its survival?
Perhaps.
717
00:35:58,725 --> 00:36:01,831
But there are those who believe
that it was motivated
718
00:36:01,831 --> 00:36:01,865
But there are those who believe
that it was motivated
not by self-preservation
719
00:36:01,865 --> 00:36:04,671
not by self-preservation
720
00:36:04,770 --> 00:36:08,544
but rather by a desire
to exact revenge.
721
00:36:09,379 --> 00:36:11,884
MAXEY:
You can't look
at this story of Vladimir
722
00:36:11,951 --> 00:36:14,590
and not think that
this is a story of vengeance.
723
00:36:14,723 --> 00:36:17,796
The tiger stalked
Vladimir's cabin.
724
00:36:17,863 --> 00:36:22,272
It waited for Vladimir
to return home for the attack.
725
00:36:22,405 --> 00:36:24,710
Everything here
points to premeditation.
726
00:36:26,614 --> 00:36:29,687
You look at other instances,
you see attacks
727
00:36:29,820 --> 00:36:31,791
with tigers
who will seek vengeance
728
00:36:31,791 --> 00:36:31,825
with tigers
who will seek vengeance
on people they don't like.
729
00:36:31,825 --> 00:36:33,562
on people they don't like.
730
00:36:33,695 --> 00:36:36,299
These animals can feel
these emotions.
731
00:36:37,435 --> 00:36:40,174
BLUMSTEIN:
All animals have
neurochemical responses
732
00:36:40,441 --> 00:36:43,781
which are remarkably similar
across all sorts of species.
733
00:36:43,815 --> 00:36:48,925
They feel emotions or feelings
that influence behavior
734
00:36:48,925 --> 00:36:48,959
They feel emotions or feelings
that influence behavior
exactly the same as we do.
735
00:36:48,959 --> 00:36:50,762
exactly the same as we do.
736
00:36:51,731 --> 00:36:54,169
McCANN:
You do not mess with a tiger.
737
00:36:54,269 --> 00:36:57,342
If you do that,
it's gonna come after you.
738
00:36:57,408 --> 00:37:00,649
Markov will have known
that when he shot that tiger
739
00:37:00,715 --> 00:37:04,456
and it didn't die,
he knew that his time was up.
740
00:37:04,557 --> 00:37:07,896
This tiger had the ability
to hold a grudge
741
00:37:07,896 --> 00:37:07,930
This tiger had the ability
to hold a grudge
with a single individual
742
00:37:07,930 --> 00:37:10,235
with a single individual
743
00:37:10,334 --> 00:37:12,974
for over 48 hours
and then take its revenge.
744
00:37:13,875 --> 00:37:16,748
We have taken dominion
over nature in many ways
745
00:37:16,848 --> 00:37:20,154
because of
our technological developments,
746
00:37:20,287 --> 00:37:22,325
but we are still
a part of nature,
747
00:37:22,458 --> 00:37:25,365
and we are still
occasionally on the menu
748
00:37:25,464 --> 00:37:27,870
of bigger and stronger animals,
such as tigers.
749
00:37:29,038 --> 00:37:31,944
It's chilling to think
that a tiger could actually
750
00:37:32,011 --> 00:37:36,654
have a vendetta, a score
to settle, with human beings.
751
00:37:36,754 --> 00:37:40,027
But not all animals
see humans as adversaries.
752
00:37:40,027 --> 00:37:40,094
But not all animals
see humans as adversaries.
For example,
there's a region in India
753
00:37:40,094 --> 00:37:43,200
For example,
there's a region in India
754
00:37:43,333 --> 00:37:46,240
where people
and man-eating lions
755
00:37:46,406 --> 00:37:49,045
have joined forces.
756
00:37:56,026 --> 00:37:59,801
SHATNER:
These lush woodlands
are home to the Asiatic lion,
757
00:37:59,900 --> 00:38:02,005
one of the rarest predators
on Earth.
758
00:38:02,973 --> 00:38:05,779
Though less than 700
of these majestic cats
759
00:38:05,879 --> 00:38:08,585
remain in the wild,
they often cross paths
760
00:38:08,651 --> 00:38:12,425
with the local residents,
whose farms border the forest.
761
00:38:13,493 --> 00:38:15,966
But, curiously, instead
of coming into conflict
762
00:38:15,966 --> 00:38:16,033
But, curiously, instead
of coming into conflict
with these dangerous predators,
763
00:38:16,033 --> 00:38:18,037
with these dangerous predators,
764
00:38:18,070 --> 00:38:22,445
the farmers appear to have
formed an alliance with them.
765
00:38:23,648 --> 00:38:25,652
MAXEY:
There is
an overabundance of deer
766
00:38:25,752 --> 00:38:27,690
in India, and the deer
at night will come
767
00:38:27,856 --> 00:38:29,960
and eat the farmers' crops.
768
00:38:31,396 --> 00:38:35,639
So the farmers have teamed up
with the local Asiatic lions.
769
00:38:35,672 --> 00:38:40,314
The farmers, trying to scare
the deer off, make a noise.
770
00:38:40,514 --> 00:38:42,719
(farmer calling)
771
00:38:44,155 --> 00:38:46,526
And the lions quickly
have learned
772
00:38:46,594 --> 00:38:49,767
that that noise means
that deer are in the area.
773
00:38:52,572 --> 00:38:54,977
So the lions end up
killing the deer.
774
00:38:58,083 --> 00:39:01,992
This is something that has
never really been documented
775
00:39:02,091 --> 00:39:06,133
where lions and humans
are working together.
776
00:39:07,168 --> 00:39:09,841
SHATNER:
Asiatic lions are
notorious man-eaters
777
00:39:09,974 --> 00:39:12,345
and have even been known
to drag people
778
00:39:12,478 --> 00:39:14,684
from their homes and kill them.
779
00:39:15,585 --> 00:39:19,292
So how is this
mutually beneficial arrangement
780
00:39:19,459 --> 00:39:21,330
between man and lion possible?
781
00:39:22,198 --> 00:39:26,072
Well, as it turns out,
these lions behave
782
00:39:26,139 --> 00:39:30,214
the same way any household cat
would when it's dinnertime.
783
00:39:30,414 --> 00:39:32,252
(farmer calling)
784
00:39:32,451 --> 00:39:34,590
DeSANTIS:
Lions are very clever,
and in this sort of symbiotic
785
00:39:34,723 --> 00:39:37,730
relationship with them
and humans,
786
00:39:37,829 --> 00:39:39,800
they're essentially able
to learn that humans
787
00:39:39,833 --> 00:39:43,642
are providing them notification
that there are prey available.
788
00:39:43,741 --> 00:39:45,579
It's essentially
like ringing a dinner bell,
789
00:39:45,745 --> 00:39:47,949
um, for these lions.
790
00:39:48,016 --> 00:39:51,557
And so they've learned not
to attack humans in most cases.
791
00:39:51,624 --> 00:39:56,032
And there's amazing footage
of people sitting down,
792
00:39:56,166 --> 00:40:00,776
relaxing just
a few feet from lions.
793
00:40:01,777 --> 00:40:04,984
SHATNER:
The cooperation between
Indian farmers and Asiatic lions
794
00:40:05,084 --> 00:40:08,157
is proof that,
in the right circumstances,
795
00:40:08,190 --> 00:40:13,166
humans and deadly predators
can be friends instead of foes.
796
00:40:14,035 --> 00:40:17,175
But experts warn
that we shouldn't
797
00:40:17,208 --> 00:40:21,617
let down our guard when in
the presence of wild animals.
798
00:40:22,485 --> 00:40:25,090
Seeing these farmers
walking and living
799
00:40:25,190 --> 00:40:28,965
amongst these lions,
it completely blows my mind.
800
00:40:29,065 --> 00:40:31,571
Now, could the tables turn
at any moment?
801
00:40:31,804 --> 00:40:33,709
Absolutely.
802
00:40:33,808 --> 00:40:38,050
These are still wild animals
with instincts.
803
00:40:38,183 --> 00:40:39,887
I would say these
animals still need to be
804
00:40:40,054 --> 00:40:41,557
treated with a lot of respect.
805
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,264
McCANN:
Human beings like
to think of themselves
806
00:40:45,264 --> 00:40:45,364
McCANN:
Human beings like
to think of themselves
as above the rest
of the animal kingdom
807
00:40:45,364 --> 00:40:47,937
as above the rest
of the animal kingdom
808
00:40:48,070 --> 00:40:50,274
because we've
innovated ourselves
809
00:40:50,274 --> 00:40:50,341
because we've
innovated ourselves
out of nature
in many, many ways.
810
00:40:50,341 --> 00:40:52,913
out of nature
in many, many ways.
811
00:40:53,748 --> 00:40:56,620
But when faced with a predator,
812
00:40:56,687 --> 00:41:00,729
without the benefit
of technology such as weaponry,
813
00:41:00,829 --> 00:41:03,568
the predator
just sees us as food.
814
00:41:03,701 --> 00:41:05,739
Essentially,
our pecking order is not
815
00:41:05,839 --> 00:41:07,374
necessarily
the top of the food chain.
816
00:41:07,576 --> 00:41:09,580
And, you know,
817
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:11,984
we are a part
of the natural community.
818
00:41:12,853 --> 00:41:15,090
We can be prey.
We can be predators.
819
00:41:15,090 --> 00:41:15,124
We can be prey.
We can be predators.
It depends on the situation.
820
00:41:15,124 --> 00:41:17,261
It depends on the situation.
821
00:41:17,562 --> 00:41:20,936
But ultimately,
we can succumb to a crocodile,
822
00:41:20,969 --> 00:41:22,639
to a lion,
823
00:41:22,806 --> 00:41:24,676
to a tiger at any moment.
824
00:41:26,714 --> 00:41:30,254
Is it possible for humans
and dangerous animals
825
00:41:30,254 --> 00:41:30,288
Is it possible for humans
and dangerous animals
to peacefully coexist?
826
00:41:30,288 --> 00:41:32,726
to peacefully coexist?
827
00:41:32,859 --> 00:41:34,997
It's certainly
an optimistic thought.
828
00:41:35,932 --> 00:41:38,170
But let's not forget,
animals are driven by the same
829
00:41:38,236 --> 00:41:42,411
instincts that we are:
hunger, fear, even revenge.
830
00:41:42,679 --> 00:41:45,919
And if a deadly predator
decides that it's out for blood,
831
00:41:46,019 --> 00:41:48,024
there's not much
that we can do to stop it.
832
00:41:48,123 --> 00:41:51,397
Which is why
some creatures will remain
833
00:41:51,564 --> 00:41:53,568
wild, unpredictable and...
834
00:41:53,768 --> 00:41:55,606
unexplained.
