Every method which the skill of man could think of failed. This terrible man-eater was at last shot-dead by a European man, who sat up mightly for ten weeks till he got his chance.1. Why are the lions the most foolish of creatures?2. Why do they return to their victim again and again?3. What is the most effective weapon to get rid of a lion?4. How many persons did the panther of Garhwal kill?5. Explain the italicized words in the passage.6. Give a suitable title to the above passage.
