## Resource

The fear of being eaten by an animal is so visceral that a mass psychosis, featuring a monkey man, once swept across Delhi. But in the event of an actual attack, investigators look for specific forensic clues to identify which predator was responsible. Was the perpetrator human or animal? Or in one infamous case in the US, was it human … or owl? Featuring: Phoebe Judge, host of the podcast Criminal Euan Ritchie, Professor of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at Deakin University Mary Roach, author of Animal Vegetable Criminal Professor Sindhu Radhakrishna, National Institute of Advanced studies in Bengaluru, India Professor Satish Kr. Verma, Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, Amrita University in Faridabad, India With extra sounds from bird enthusiasts: Barry Edmonston, XC1001471.
