A ravaging animal roamed the southern French countryside between 1763-1767. By the time it was finally caught, about 100 people had been killed. Many of the dead were women and children.
Some folks thought "The Beast of Gevaudan" was a wolf, although survivors swore it wasn't. King Louis XV sent his best hunter to track down the marauding animal, but even he wasn't successful. It was up to the Marquis d'Apcher, a young nobleman, to organize a party of skilled hunters. Jean Chastel, a member of that group, finally killed the beast - still known in France as "la Bete du Gevaudan."
