I do the same; I love listening to these tales when relaxing in a chair or bed. Very cathartic.

Great to see your name again in the comments, Luke. Thank you!

Absolutely, and thank you for commenting, Jeffrey!

My pleasure and thanks for listening and commenting.

No doubt, even the smallest of tigers are more than capable of doing that to a human being. Mr. Anderson knew what he was writing about.

Cheers! That means so much to me. Thank you for taking the time to comment today.

I love all the narrators

I'm happy to hear that these recordings are proving valuable enough for a monthly premium membership. As a premium member myself, I think its money well spent considering the range and diversity of content on YT nowadays. Thank you for commenting.

Thanks for the comment!

@selvalore Your voice is amazing as is your storytelling genius!

You're welcome and thank you for the comment!

Thank you as always for commenting, Danish!

I bet you hunt in jungles of India all the time.

And you speak from a position of experience?

I kinda liked getting Anderson’s confirmation of Tabaqui to Shere Khan 😄

Thank you!

Thank you!

Hello Ben! Thanks for an excellent comment again. I'm no expert in this area and do not live in India anymore but I do keep up with it from time to time. The lower sections of Western Ghats (especially in the states of Karnataka, kerala and Tamil Nadu) along with the Nilgiri hills are still remarkably covered with forests. Although human encroachment keeps getting worse (another reason why tigers and leopards still kill many people in India), this region harbors quite a few National Parks and Tiger preserves such as Nagerhole, bandipur, Periyar and Kabini. So, yes there are still many tigers left in this exact area and I'm sure a few of them take to killing humans every year. It's all dealt with by the forest department nowadays and those days where an individual or a lone hunter would take care of them are long gone.

​@@selvalore Much appreciated, thank you. It's great to know there are still areas where these species exist, although yes, of course the human-wildlife confilct is a huge issue and a very sad one. I was surprised to hear of the leopard that is currently being trageted as a serial man-eater - terrible of course and yet nostalgic in the same breath. Please keep up the great work - you are unparralled. There is another content creator named Usman Ijaz who you may be aware of. I am thankful for their uploads, but it is a computer generated voice and almost un-listenable! However it demonstrates that there are many more Kenneth Anderson stories out there...dare I suggest..for you! Very best wishes, Ben

@@benwaddams Thank you for the response, Ben. Yes, I looked into that. There is indeed a bounty on a leopard's head in Kashmir. That is remarkably sad. Leopard's are rare in the Himalayas now and obviously this animal was driven to killing children due to some environmental pressure owing to human-wildlife conflict. The report said the wildlife department has deployed 50 men to hunt it down. A 100 years ago a certain Mr. Corbett dealt with a much more cunning animal all by himself and with limited resources.

@@selvalore Yes indeed he would have! And I expect his methods may well still be the most accurate, humane and effective. On a seperate note, I read somewhere that someone had fairly recently tracked down a person who, as a child, remebered Corbett and his efforts to rid them of a maneater. I suppose that person would be in their 80s at least now. If true, quite remarkable. Keep up the great work Sir. Ben

I don’t know how Anderson could distinguish between a kill from a leopard or tiger?

Thanks!

My pleasure Ed, and thank you for commennting again.

@@selvalore I truly appreciate your work always looking forward to the next

Much appreciated. Thanks for listening!

So true. Its one of nature's finest creations. Thank you for your comment!

Lovely to see your name in the comments again, Husayn saab. Thank you!

Thank you for commenting Mr. Portor!

Appreciate the comment!

@@selvalore I read all the Corbett books,but I was always curious what a cheetah hind and a sambur and the various monkeys sounded like. Good work,keep doing it.

@@selvalore Cheetal hind

Thanks for watching!

I have certainly thought about doing it. That is an excellent book and I will probably end up reading it at some point in the future. Thank you for such a thoughtful comment!

I love tsavo lions story

Happy to hear that. Thanks Bill!

Thank you for commenting!

You're very welcome Mr. O'Donnell and thank you for the comment again!

Sure Preetji, I will get to it. It's not just you, others have made the same request as well. This summer's gonna be busy and I'm a little burnt out right now but maybe later this year i'll give a serious thought to it. Thank you for your patience.

Thanks for commenting Richard! About that last point: many people mistakenly assume hynaes are not present in India but the striped hynae (which the author is referring to here) is native to the Indian subcontinent. KA has referred to hynaes in his stories on several occasions.

Haha yes he did

Khan is just a common last name in South Asia. I'm pretty positive it has nothing to do with profession but I have seen it used as a first name in some cases as well.

@@selvalore Thanks☺

​@selvalore Khan is a title when you reach certain level of status,its origin is not South Asia but central Asia! Among Tartars, Qashqais of Iran,Pashtuns be it from Afghan,Pakistanis or India.Baluchis also.It is not an ancestral name! Just like Rais and Malik or Sheikh in Arabic or Shah,Agha,Jenaab,Khudavand or Sardar in Persian!

@@sivaratnamasabaratnam8946 Thanks for your research time, and reply!☺

Its back🤗

@@ropeburnsrussell Thank you again for all your interest in these audio videos, Mr. Russell.

I enjoy these stories so much, I'd enjoy hearing anything you read.
