Gonna guess that the actual kill count of the beast was much lower but because they were really panicked about it, they attributed basically every single instance of someone going missing or being attacked by a wild animal to the beast. There were other wolf attacks at the time, there were bears in the woods which might sometimes attack people and sometimes people would just go missing. When there was such a massive hysteria going on, I think odds are a lot of people in Gévaudan simply didn't consider all possible explanations for someone disappearing or dying in the woods and instead went "Sacre bleu, ze beast has struck again!"

Fun fact about wolfdogs, Bricky. They're a lot more wolf than dog. In fact, they can be so physically similar to wolves that the differences are minimal and nearly unrecognizable. The dog part comes from the wolfdog's behaviour and domesticity when in captivity. Wolfdogs are also a lot more common in the wild than you'd think. Every black pelted wolf is a wolfdog or wolfdog descendent, because the genetic mutation that results in canids having black pelts first originated in dogs, then it got passed on to wolves through inter-breeding. So a person training wolfdogs to attack on command without people realising they're dealing with domesticized wolfdogs and not wild wolves is plausible, especially if we consider the fact that some wolfdogs, when bred with dogs that have different physical characteristics from wolves, can take on traits from both progenitors and look pretty wild. It could explain why the beast or beasts were considered "like a wolf, but not quite". It could have had any number of traits depending on what dog was used for breeding, including the reddish stripe on its back.

A few extra fun things: 1. "A pikeman despatched from Normandy to join one of the hunting expeditions wrote to his patron in April 1765: ‘Snow, hail, thunderstorms, wind, wet feet ... I beg you, sir, if you have not already left for the Gévaudan yourself, forget about it. This is an abominable country, with terrible food." 2. Malnutrition before the harvest was a severe problem in the region, which would make tracking actual killings even harder, because death in general there was common. 3. Captain Duhamel used live children as bait for the wolf, so yeah, SUPER hated, and worthy of being led to a bog. 4. The famous wolf-hunter failed to kill even one wolf, which might explain why he ran away. 5. The boy who fought the wolf with his friends and got rewarded by the king became an artillery man, but I don't think he ever saw combat. His brother, who was the designated heir, might also have been a secret revolutionary, so Jacques Portefaix might have been one as well, though they apparently wanted a constitutional monarchy and not, you know...The Terror.

A bit of info on wolf-dog hybrids, they can get very large, depending on the breed, and such hybrids can be susceptible to recessive disorders like gigantism. Combine that with the often hyperspecialized jaws we've bred in some breeds, and you could have a particularly gnarly creature. They also tend to be super aggressive, like most feral dogs. I'm thinking something like a Wolf-Mastiff hybrid, if that's what it could be.

Actually the theory that it was a trained wolf or wolf-hybrid trained by Jean Chastel makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Where did he get it? He was notably a hunter and a loner, it’s possible he discovered as a pup or it was crossbred with one of his own hunting dogs. Why did it target women and children? That is what it had been trained to do. Why couldn’t so many people find it out in the woods and in patrol? Because it lived in the town. Likely hidden by the owner somewhere. Why was it such a tank? Because it’s owner would nurse it back to health. Maybe after the first time it was wounded he made some “armor” for it. Why did the killings stop? Because he put down his own pet realizing it was the perfect chance to be the “hero” of the story. That is also why it didn’t charge him.

Of course they went extinct like 20 MYA but they were large omnivorous animals that would have no issue taking down a person.

A wolf-dog hybrid would make a lot of sense, or potentially just an abnormally large feral dog. The thing about domestication is that it is a genetic quality. Mix that with something that isn't domesticated and/or take away the influence of selective breeding by humans and those domestic qualities fall away fast leaving you with a wild animal that isn't afraid of humans. An escaped menagerie animal would also help to explain its preference for attacking humans. Animals held in captivity can learn to associate humans with food and if it managed to escape might not know how to hunt for itself leading it to attack humans which its knows means food, once it figured out humans where easy prey, especially women and children, it probably won't have much reason to change tactics and kept preying on people.

I love this story every time it's retold. I like to think the creature's motivations might have been driven by a very unique, rare or one-off mutation of the virus Toxoplasma Gondii. Or something akin to the nature of T-gondii. Certain predators find particular organs of particular species to be delicacies, and some of them will only eat the preferred organs. (Think orcas eating shark liver) ... add to that, most animals *don't* like eating humans. Their digestive tract isn't acclimated to it. A popular theory is that the beast became interested in human prey after scavenging corpses out of desperation. As for the species we'll never be able to confirm; an exotic/imported creature which grew up on a distantly foreign gut biome makes the most sense to me. The unfamiliar fauna of France might not have had an ecosystem that could properly support the beast's dietary needs, causing it to turn to more efficient prey/energy tradeoffs. And for my last add, a tiny simple theory, on the off-but-populad belief the beast was an escaped hyena... hyenas famously break and eat bones as a part of their diet. What if a hyena had devoured human teeth infused with dental filler? Dentistry of that time had no idea mercury fillings were highly toxic and could induce all kinds of psychological problems and even deterioration, and later, cancer. Such an un-picky hyena as this could have inadvertently swallowed toxic materials in human bones. It wasn't uncommon for surgeons to implant rudimentary metal 'devices' to help with broken bones and damaged muscles, so far as even adding hinges to the inside of an elbow or knee to prolong the usefulness of the limb. I love how open to theory this legend is.

Just a point about the "500 people killed" statistic for the Beast. The Wikipedia articles source for that claim comes from a PDF called "The Fear of Wolves: A Review of Wolf Attacks on Humans" by the Norsk Institutt for Naturforskning, that was deleted on December 7th 2022 (19 days ago) and now needs to be viewed on the Wayback Machine. The section on the Beast of Gevaudan, is a whole three paragraphs long and only says there were 210 attacks with 49 wounded and 113 killed according to a guy called "de Beaufort" from 1987.

Have you guys ever heard about the Hoia Baciu forest from Romania? It is considered to be the most haunted forest on Earth and has about a hundred things about it that make it a scene out of a nightmare. I really liked this videos and you will find no shortages of mysteries about this place that, as far as many seem to belive, is the closest thing we have to wh40k Warp in the real world. Hope you guys will cover this topic on a future Detective Ridiculous video. Love to you guys from Romania.

The French and wolves go way back. Earlier during the late middle ages, there were times when wolves literally laid siege to Paris. Like being eaten by a band of wolves roaming the streets was a legitimate concern. The leader of the wolf pack was actually named and he was defeated by the city's defenders. They literally fought a battle with the wolves, and even after still had to actively defend the city from encroaching packs of roving canines. England was devoid of this problem because they exterminated their wolf population, and the Germanic states were presumably too well-armed for this to really be a terrible issue there, or perhaps it simply wasn't as well-documented, but the French seemed to get it worst. But it doesn't stop there; during several engagements on the Eastern Front of the Great War, this problem grew so bad that the Tsar's and Kaiser's troops actually teamed up specifically to kill the wolves plaguing both sides' armies. Wolves have been pushed back from civilization for very good reason, but they haven't been nearly as much of a problem in the age of modern firearms. Still, their ambush tactics can be deadly if they get you alone out in the wild. Edit: tremendous fucking Powerwolf song btw. Truly a podcast of culture.

I find the Beast of Gevaudan to be a fascinating story and I've studied this one for a very long time. I have still not figured out what it was, and the best anyone can do is a guess. I believe that is what is so intriguing about the story. The best guess I can give would be (Maybe Spanish) War Dog. The Spanish mastiff had a weight of 240 to 270 pounds and stood 3 and a half to 4 feet tall, or at least the stories tell of this size. Ever seen the size of an Cane Corso? Celtic warriors used them, and they were larger than men. On Columbus 2nd trip he took to battle the natives with 20 Mastiff and a couple hundred conquistadors against thousands of natives. It is said that the sheer terror from just 20 dog's ripping men apart was what won them the battle. (I'm sure the black power rifles were a Boone also) Colombus said that ONE of the dogs was worth 15 of the soldiers and their bite was so powerful they could rip an arm from a man and crush a skull inside their massive jaw's. Those dogs were bread and trained for war, just imagine something so powerful, trained and smart in the countryside and the people have only been around average size dogs. The giant mastiff would have had rust colored fur, a black stripe down it's back, a bushy tail and if you look at the mouth it does look like a pig snout. It would have known what soldiers were and it would not have shown itself around soldiers. They would boil boar hide and wrap the war dogs in it, that boiled hide would have protected from the weaker black powder rounds fired at it and when the creature was taken down it was with a different type of rifle and a much more powerful bullet.

Wolves are usually 30-60 pounds in my area. If it's about 3 1/2-4ft at that weight; 100 lbs is about right, for a 6ft wolf.
