The park was renamed in 1957 as the Jim Corbett National Park to honour his role in establishing the protected area in 1930s.
C. Answer the following in one or two words:

According to Corbett’s theory, a tiger starts eating humans, when they grow old or got hurt. As they cannot run fast, they start killing humans. People cannot run as fast as animals. So they become easy prey. After eating human flesh once, a tiger will not eat any other flesh. These tigers are called man-eaters. Join Corbett’s first man-eating tiger hunt was the Champawat Tiger. It was a Bengal tigress. It was responsible for nearly 436 deaths in Nepal and the Kumaon area of India.

Jim Corbett camped in the Kumaon district, and started tracking the tigress. After several unsuccessful attempts, Corbett managed to kill, the tiger when it killed 16 years old girl. He followed a trail of blood left there. After a whole day of pursuit, Corbett had to abandon the hunt, decided to use villagers and to organize a bait the next day near the Champa river. The tigress got caught in the bait. With the help of the tahsildar of Champawat, the bait was organized with about 300 villagers. The next day, Corbett shot the tigress dead, near the Chataar Bridge, in Champawat.

A post-mortem was done on the Bengal Tigress. It showed that the upper and lower ’ canine teeth on the right side of her mouth were broken. The upper one was broken in half and the lower one broke right down to the bone. This injury was a result of an old gunshot from the game hunter who failed to track and kill it. According to Jim Corbett this injury prevented her from hunting her natural prey and so she started to hunt humans.
