Hence man becomes easy prey. Once a tiger tasted human flesh, it won’t eat any other flesh. Thus, a tiger turns into a man eater.

The British Government requested Jim Corbett to hunt down the man-eater. So, he camped in the Kumaon district and started tracking the tigress. Several attempts to kill the tiger had gone vain.
