The Tiger Queen

Tiger Queen Guest: Leslie Zemeckis, writer, producer, director of "Mabel, Mabel, Tiger Trainer" Step aside, Tiger King, we have the story of Mabel Stark, the world’s first female tiger trainer, a woman who revolutionized animal training and entertainment, in addition to surviving over a dozen maulings.  The Man-Eating Tiger of Champawat Guest: Dane Huckelbridge, author, “No Beast So Fierce: The Terrifying True Story of the Champawat Tiger, the Deadliest Animal in History” The Champawat tiger killed approximately 436 people, and was eventually killed by Jim Corbett, who went on to become a legendary slayer of man-killers. But the tiger was a man-made monster, and this is really a story about what our relationship with our world should be.
