The Last Maneater: Killer Tigers of India

May 5, 2003

Sunderbans (Forest of Beauty) is in West Bengal, India, and is the only place on Earth that is the natural habitat of Royal Bengal Tigers that have never known to be fearful of humans. One tiger has been known to kill three fully grown men, leaving behind orphans and widows who belong to poor tribes, dependent on harvesting wild honey and fishing, in a swampy mangrove region. About 80 people are killed annually by these ferocious beasts with razor-sharp jaws, whose forepaws can shatter bones, and sharp teeth can pierce a skull in one bite. Amidst religious superstitions, the narrator attempts to explain the cause behind their taste for human meat in a region devoid of electricity, roadways, firearms and safe drinking water, and why the villagers continue to live there despite of being stalked and mauled on land and water alike.

Le Mans? Not gruelling enough. Indy 500? Too slow. Monaco? No glamour. Forget them all - here are the three greatest races ever filmed. Somebody made the mistake of telling Jeremy that the car isn't a fast enough way to cover distance anymore. He took serious exception. He also took a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, a McLaren SLR and a Bugatti Veyron on three legendary transcontinental blasts to prove his point. The competition? Richard and James driving planes, trains and boats. And not having as much fun...
