This is the final episode of Jim Corbett's adventure for the Man-Eater of Rudraprayag.  We follow Jim on his last few days hunting the leopard.  It seems that Jim has had non stop bad luck since he started his hunt... then on the last day he was set to be there, a little luck finally went his direction.  We have multiple more missed opportunities, and the final human kill the leopard made.  Jim waits in a mango tree for 11 days and on this 11th day he finally gets his shot in the dark that finally kills the "evil spirit" that haunted the villages for eight long years.   If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This episode is part 2 of Jim Corbett's hunt for the man-eating leopard of Rudrapryag. In this episode we look at many missed opportunities and failures from the hunt. This man-eating leopard proves to be an extremely difficult animal to kill as it escapes cyanide poison, bear traps and bullets. It's a real life Houdini leopard. At the end we learn exactly why so many villagers believed this leopard was an evil supernatural spirit out to get them. Leopards are amazingly cool animals... But in this case they can also be scary monsters.    If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

To celebrate our 100th episode we bring you one of Jim Corbett's most famous stories... The Man-Eating Leopard of Rudrapryag. This will be part 1 of 3 and is the set-up for Corbett's hunting story. We learn all about the leopard and how it became a man-eater as well as learn about some of the kills it made. This leopard brought terror to the local villagers for 8 long years. They almost killed it multiple times, but the leopard became an escape artist to continue it's taste for human flesh. With over 125 kills this leopard is a heavy hitting serial killing machine.    If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This episode we cover the largest snake on the planet... the anaconda.  Anacondas are native to South America in the Amazon Rainforest.  They are very large snakes with sharp teeth and tons of strength, enough to constrict and kill large mammals.  Their top size is heavily debated, some believe they've seen anacondas up to 60ft long.  Anacondas are subject to the most extreme size exaggerations of any living animal.  They are more likely to be at a max size of 20ft and 210lbs ish.  Large enough to be man-eaters though? We also talk about the cult classic movie Anaconda film from 1997.  Learn all about these snakes in this constrictor of an episode.    If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This episode we look at the longest sled dog race, the famous Iditarod. Every first Saturday in March mushers and sled dogs participate in a 1,000 mile race from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska. It is a race of endurance that can last 9-13 days through the treterous terrain and weather of Alaska. We go over the interesting history of how the race began and how it works now.

This week we will be covering an animal that you never knew you wanted to learn all about.  An animal synonymous with Thanksgiving and the holiday season... the turkey.  The turkey surprisingly has a deep history with American culture, and was almost our national bird.  We learn all about the wild turkeys and their history, then maybe the most interesting part is the domestic turkey and how they are farmed to feed the country.  Around 240 million turkeys are processed every year in the US to feed our fat faces.  We share information all about the turkey meat industry.  A very interesting episode where you will learn a lot.    Turkey documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udyRkz0tWZc  If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This week we look into the very strange and bizarre animal known as the Tasmanian devil.  This is the most iconic animal and thing to come out of the Australian state of Tasmania.  A lot of people don't know where Tasmania is, but definitely a part of Australia.  Some don't even know the devils are a real animal.  They certainly are.  The devils are actually the largest living carnivorous marsupials in the world.  But, they really aren't very big, only the size of a small dog.  They get their name from the loud devil like sounds they make when feeding and mating.  We dive into some of their history, facts about them and also go over the devils in pop-culture.    If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This week we have part two of the famous true crime like story, Night of the Grizzlies.  We jump right into where we left off with both of our attack stories.  We find out what goes down during the attack at Trout Lake on Michele Koons.  We also find out what happens at the Granite Park Chalet where the first bear attack took place.  We will meet a cast of characters from both stories.  Unfortunately, both stories do end in the gruesome deaths of two 19 year old women.  These are sad, but thrilling stories.  The aftermath of what happened on this night greatly changed the way grizzly bears are now managed.  After this night no longer were people allowed to feed bears.  Nowadays we try to keep away from bears as much as possible, a lot of the reason is from this night.  It still remains a mystery why on one night two bears attacked two different women.  Coincidence?... Seems like it.    If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This week, we have one of the best true crime stories involving animals... This is Night of the Grizzlies. We go back in time to 1967, to Glacier National Park. Back then rules for bears were pretty lax, to say the least. Tourists would come from all over to watch grizzlies battle for the best garbage. From when the park was founded in 1910 there had never been a fatal grizzly attack. But on one fateful night it all changes... There are two different grizzly bear attacks just hours apart and a few miles away, both from different bears, and both lead to the death of two 19 year old women. Its a crazy story.  We also learn a bit about Glacier National Park and 1967. This is only part one... There may be a cliffhanger.    If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This week we go to the ocean and cover attack stories from one of mans most fearful predators... sharks.  These are stories that have all happened in the last few months and most actually take place Down Under, in Australia.  For some reason there has been a surge of shark attacks there as well as 4 recent deaths, we cover them all.  We also are joined by a special guest Dayna Bodtcher, she is an avid shark lover and related to both hosts.  Dayna and Dave both provide their own stories.  And we end on the very first shark fatality in the state of Maine.    If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This week we celebrate our 2nd anniversary episode.  After two whole years doing the show we really love doing it and a big thank you to all the listeners who support us.  We have some new stupid idiots of Yellowstone stories that involve sneaking into the closed park and falling into a thermal pool and people who get too close to wild, dangerous bison.  Then we go over which insects have the most painful stings. Spoiler... it's the bullet ant.  There are four levels of pain with four being the worst.  Then we talk about a plant that if you get stung by it you may commit suicide because the pain is just too much.  Then we end the episode with a few listener stories.   If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This week we take a look at some species that do not belong. An invasive species is an organism that is not native to a particular area. They can cause great environmental and economic harm to the new area.  To be invasive, a species must adapt to the new area easily.  It must reproduce quickly.  It must harm property, the economy or native plants and animals of the region.  Many invasive species are introduced to a new region accidentally, while others are brought on purpose.     1st Story- Japanese Murder Hornets in North America 2nd Story- Pablo Escobar's Cocaine Hippos 3rd Story- Snakes Take Over Guam 4th Story- Pesky Rabbits in Australia 5th Story- Carpocalypse    Skarping video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqykDINEcGo&t=88s Vice documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnZp1jtOhR0&t=724s If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This week we look into one of the most terrifying animals to have ever lived... the terror birds.  Terror birds were giant flightless birds that lived for 60 million years in South America.  The largest species was the kelenken, which stood around 10 feet tall and around 400lbs.  The most famous terror bird species is named Titanus, this one stands out for being the only one found in North America.  Terror birds were apex predators with no competition on South America.  Until the Great American Interchange brought other predators to compete with the terror birds.     If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

In part one we will go over some more well known and lesser known giant herbivore animals.  We also get to know what an ice age really is.  All of these giant creatures went extinct about 10,000 years ago, and we really don't know why exactly.  It was a very different earth back then.   Animals being covered this week. 1.

This week we tell the story of Jim Corbett and his 72 hour hunt for the Muktesar tigress that has killed at least 24 people.  This is a story from earlier in Jim's hunting career.  He has an exciting hunt, spending one night in a tree in pitch black darkness with the tiger 15 feet away.  We learn about how other sportsmen previously failed hunting this tiger and how Jim eventually succeeds.  The ending is especially crazy, with his most insane tiger kill to date.  And once again we learn that porcupines may actually be behind the reason this tiger has turned to man eating.    If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This wee we look at the amazing Bengal tigers.  Bengal tigers are the most notable tiger species and one of the most iconic animals on the planet.  They are native to India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan and make up over half of all tigers in the world.  At the beginning of the 1900's there were supposedly over 100,000 in the wild, nowadays only around 2,500 live in the wild.  There may be more in zoos than in the wild.  The reasons are all because of humans... poaching and habitat loss make up for most of it.  Tigers are awesome animals that deserve our protection.  But sometimes tigers can be scary monsters... tigers have killed more people than any other predatory mammal.  There are around 100 tiger attacks a year in some areas.  We also go through a list of well known man eating tigers.     Indian tiger movie. This movie is so bad it's hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7okNuj1CD4A If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This week we have a special guest to join us, Dayna Bodtcher.  And the theme for this episode is the relationship between orcas and humans.  In Australia during the 1920's a pod of orcas worked with a whaling team to hunt baleen whales.  We also look into some legends of orcas indigenous people used to have.  We look into whale watching around the globe and Dayna gives us information on how orcas have been killing great white sharks off the coast of South Africa.  Then finally we look into orcas in pop-culture, including the 1977 film "Orca" and of course "Free Willy."      If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This week we look into the most badass predators on the planet. They go by many names the bullies of the sea, the wolves of the sea, killers of whales, killer whales and orcas.  We learn all about orcas in the wild to start off our three part series on them.  There are two main types of orcas, resident and transient, each type has their own ways of doing things and different hunting techniques.  Orcas have some of the most complex social structures of the entire animal kingdom, second only to humans.  We also go over six different hunting techniques including beaching themselves to catch seals, making waves to knock seals off ice, drowning large baleen whales and many more.  Learn all about these awesome animals here!   Orca punts seal 80ft https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7WGIH35JBE Orcas beach themselves for sea lions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk1VdQxeTn4&t=103s If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This week we look into the giants of the sea... whales.  We go over three specific badass whale species; the beluga whale, the narwhal and the poorly named sperm whale.  All of these whales are one of two types of whales, these are members of the toothed whales.  The other type are baleen whales, which we will go over next week.  Did you know that killer whales (orcas) are actually dolphins not whales.  The sperm whale has a reason for its odd name and it involves something you would never have thought of.  The sperm whale is also the same type of whale as Moby Dick.  Lots to learn on this whale of a tale.    Narwhal song credits https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/484667 Dave's voice on Nantucket video game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofc1cpaY9OA Beluga whale plays fetch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ3sAIEg6OY If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This week we look into the American black bear.  A lot of interesting things about them, and they actually don't even have to be black.  Some black bears are brown, blonde or even white.  We learn about bear hibernation and some bear safety tips.  Black bears are more predatory than brown bears and have been known to stalk and eat humans.  That is why if ever attacked by a black bear you must fight back, if you don't it might eat you.  And bears are known to eat while there prey is still alive.  Be sure to go watch the movie Backcountry to see a realistic and frightening attack.      If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.

This week we look into the slithery serpents known as rattlesnakes.  Rattlesnakes are very cool iconic animals of the old west.  They live all over the Americas but are most known to live in the Southwest United States and Mexico.  But the largest of them, the eastern diamondback, lives in the south.  They can be as far north as Canada or as far south as Argentina.  Rattlesnakes have highly developed hemotoxic venom that can kill you.  We then learn about rattlesnakes in pop culture and finish on a few attack stories.     King snake literally eats a rattlesnake alive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCfw841tK8Q If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either Forceofnaturepod@gmail.com or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.
