Beast of Gévaudan
The Beast of Gévaudan ((フランス語:La Bête du Gévaudan); , (オック語:La Bèstia de Gavaudan)) is the historical name associated with the man-eating wolf, dog or wolf-dog hybrid which terrorised the former province of Gévaudan (modern-day ''département'' of Lozère and part of Haute-Loire), in the Margeride Mountains in south-central France between 1764 and 1767.〔 The attacks, which covered an area stretching , were said to have been committed by a beast or beasts that had formidable teeth and immense tails according to contemporary eyewitnesses.
Victims were often killed by having their throats torn out. The French government used a considerable amount of manpower and money to hunt the animals; including the resources of several nobles, the army, civilians, and a number of royal huntsmen.〔
The number of victims differs according to sources. In 1987, one study estimated there had been 210 attacks; resulting in 113 deaths and 49 injuries; 98 of the victims killed were partly eaten. However, other sources claim it killed between 60 to 100 adults and children, as well as injuring more than 30.〔
==Description==
Descriptions of the time vary, but generally the beast was said to look like a wolf but about as big as a calf. It had a large dog-like head with small straight ears, a wide chest, and a large mouth which exposed very large teeth. The beast's fur was said to be red in colour but its back was streaked with black.〔Pourcher, Pierre (1889) Translated by Brockis, Derek ''The Beast of Gevaudan'' AuthorHouse, 2006, p.5 ISBN 9781467014632〕
