Think true crime - but instead of serial killers, it’s bears, sharks, hippos, and the occasional murderous goose. From legendary predators to unexpected killers, we explore the science, history, culture, and chaos behind nature’s most shocking encounters. Man Eaters dives into real stories of animal attacks through history with healthy dose of laughter.
