The Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag This book gives an absorbing account of Colonet Corbett's hard-won campaign against a single leopard, an animal which outdoes tigers in cunning and ferocity. Roaming over an area of five hundred square miles, the Rudraprayag leopard brought terror to the inhabitants of Garwhal for eight years, and year after year all efforts to kill it failed. On and off, Jim Corbett stalked it during the last two years of its career, finally destroying it at the end of an uninterrupted ten week pursuit. |
