It had killed 126 Himalayan villagers - until a lone Briton came stalking it
One of the most remarkable confrontations ever between man and beast is the subject of the first television drama from the BBC's natural history unit.
The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudraprayag, on air next month, is set in the summer of 1926, when the hunter Jim Corbett set out to track and kill a rogue leopard that was to eat 126 people. His legendary jungle guile and ultimate success made him a hero in India to this day.

Environment Canada is trying to determine whether a tornado was responsible for ripping the roof off an elementary school in Hamilton, Ont., on Wednesday, slightly injuring two students.
The children were among a group practising volleyball in the gym of the Lawfield Public School at about 4 p.m. when a bout of severe weather hit.
"I just heard a big gust of wind and the roof just collapsed," said Matt Theoret, one of the students in the gym. "The windows blew in... We all ran."

Quote of the Day
Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.
- Frantz Fanon
