There's a serial killer lurking around Chitwan National Park in Nepal and her name is Nangara Pothi. Nicknamed The Claw, this deadly tigress has killed at least 10 people since 2008. Gordon Buchanan, host of Man-Eater Manhunt on National Geographic Channel (NGC), travels to Nepal to investigate. He hopes tounlock the myths and mysteries of the man-eating tigress.
Buchanan's mission is to know and understand man-eaters—animals that have killed or even eaten humans. He wonders if the reasons for the attacks on humans are due to the predators' loss of natural space. Buchanan is determinedto put himself directly in the path to find out the answers. In Tanzania, Buchananhooks up with a local researcher to try and learn why lions that normally don't eat people now have a taste for human flesh. Buchanan finds out that most of the farmers that were killed by the lions had been sleeping in makeshift shelters while trying to protect their harvests. The only way to get to the bottom of the mystery, Buchanan thinks, is to spend a night in one of the shelters.
Lions and tigers are dangerous, but leopards are renowned as elusive andresourceful predators. In Mumbai, India, one of the most populous cities in the world, 57 people have been killed by leopards, and Buchanan wants to know why. He sets up thermal camera traps and visits the city's suburbs at night. By doing so, Buchanan feels he gets a handle on what the opportunistic predators known for their diverse diets do at night. Dig into the leopards' secrets and more on NGC's Man-Eater Manhunt.
