Summary

Description
English: A rare surviving photograph of the Champawat Tiger, which claimed a reported 436 lives in the early twentieth century in Nepal and India, before being shot by the legendary hunter Jim Corbett. Clearly visible are the broken upper and lower right canine teeth - the reason she became unable to hunt her natural prey of wild animals, and began hunting comparatively-weaker human beings.
