Part 4 Monster or Murderer - Animal X Natural Mystery Unit

Animal X investigates the Beast of Gevaudan which killed more than 300 people.

Almost 250 years ago, a frightening creature lurking at the foot of the French Alps is said to have killed more than 300 people. The creature has become known as the Beast of Gevaudan.

Daniel and Natalie step back in time to 18th century France where they visit the killing ground of this mysterious historical monster. Countless theories hang over the Beast's identity. In a hunt for the truth, the Animal X - Natural Mystery Unit talks with descendants of the Beast's victims, local historians and animal experts. As they trace the myth through historical documents and official royal records dating back to the 1760s, they come across startling evidence about the true identity of this voracious killer.

Some say the beast was a wolf, others claim it was an exotic animal imported from a far away country. Was this really the work of a rogue animal with a taste for human blood or was a serial killer involved in this horrific killing spree?
The Animal X - Natural Mystery Unit piece together the evidence in this fascinating investigation. Will they solve the mystery that has puzzled generations?

In my opinion, the beast was either a bear or a large hyena, because bears are solitary hunters and they have fatally attacked people in the past (unlike wolves). But it could also have easily been a large hyena, because they have tufts on the end of their tails and that was one of the features of the beast. Also, both of these creatures would have been easily capable of causing the described damage to the victims' bodies. This is just my opinion though.

Ok, now that we know its not a wolf, can you tell us what it is, or are you going to further rule out possible animals as to highten our curiosity and anxiety as to what this animal is or if it even existed or still exists at all, sheesh.

[PBShootout]

Yes guys, there is no possible way for a wolf to attack a human because they are shy of them.... my butt. Just because an animal has grown shy to humans dosnt mean it wont attack, even deer for crying out loud will attack a human when defending their young, so im sure a wolf will.
