So click on the like button, subscribe to the channel and let's watch the video. France: 1764 to 1767. Gévaudan province, located in the Margeride mountains. Margeride is a place surrounded by mountains and forests located in the center of France. In the 1700s, the place was surrounded by small villages and undeveloped cities. However, the mountains served as a route to reach more populated areas. With an almost untouched fauna, wolf attacks were common for travelers who spent the night in the forests. And many of these travelers believed that these mountains were home to other, even more ferocious creatures. More developed wolves and even species of hyenas that were still unknown. Bizarre situations that lasted for around three years contributed even more to these legends. However, behind the misfortune that swept the region, there could only be a wild, hungry animal that realized at some point that humans are easy prey to kill. Attacks on humans triggered a series of events surrounded by terror and controversy. In these events, there is only one certainty: the jaws of this predator were truly powerful, as their attack area was directly on the throat. Some victims were even found without this part of their body, and with their limbs completely chewed off. The attacks covered a large area, approximately 80 by 90 kilometers, but even with the distance between the attacks, the reports were very similar, both in terms of the bodies found and the survivors. The story begins in 1764, when flocks of sheep began to be massacred. Many sheep were killed in the same way, a fatal attack on the throat, and were partially devoured. A few months after the first attacks on the flocks, a young woman was attacked in a forest near the rural area when she was traveling from the farm where she lived to the city. The young woman was badly injured, but survived by avoiding the bites on her neck with her arms, which were severely mutilated. According to the girl, the creature was the size of a calf, with a furry neck and tail of a reddish color, but its chest was lighter, with black ears, a black mouth and wide, sharp teeth. It moved by jumping and running, and it also had a white stripe from its head to the tip of its tail. On June 30, 1764, the first deadly attack occurred. The victim, a young girl of only 14 years of age, was found near the same forest. The wounds were very similar to those of sheep, including part of the throat. The terror began, one attack after another, kilometers apart, but in exactly the same way. A mortal wound in the neck, and organs devoured. We are talking about the 1700s, when communication was done by letters and travel was on horseback. With all the limitations of the time in determining the facts, it was possible to catalog 113 deaths and 49 injuries after almost 3 years. But the numbers could be much higher than these. The survivors reported a creature that looked very much like a wolf, but the description of its furry, fringed tail and the damage caused by the bites indicated that the person responsible for the attacks was probably a hyena. The animal's appearance changed slightly from victim to victim who survived, but the black mouth full of teeth and an unbearable odor were present in all the stories. The truth is that the testimonies of people who survived the attacks confused investigators even more at the time. A lone wolf could indeed attack humans because they are easy prey, since a wolf without its pack will have to choose easier victims to hunt, but a single wolf would not have the behavior to kill several sheep in a single night, for example. It would kill only one and feed on it. Another fact is that wolves do not usually attack directly in the throat; they usually bite the lower limbs first, to weaken the prey, and then finish it off.
