Summary
From cougars to crocodiles, and from killer bees to our fellow human beings—here are chilling true tales of humans falling prey to predators. Humans may have reached the top of the food chain, but the world is still teeming with apex predators who retain the advantage in their own environments, and sometimes venture into ours—especially when they have gained a taste for human blood. In Man-Eaters of the World, survivors, hunters, and witnesses recall first-hand accounts of hair-raising, fatal encounters with deadly beasts of the wild. Drawn from across the globe—from Bengal to the Bronx and beyond—these stories describe the often rapid and unstoppable series of events that result in devastation. Relentless wolves and rogue elephants, swarms of fire ants and vicious sharks, ruthless panthers, grizzly bears, crocodiles, and even human cannibals—all have taken their toll on unsuspecting travelers.
