Give a title: Richard Parker was so named because of a clerical error. A panther was
terrorizing the Khulna district of Bangladesh, just outside the Sundarbans. It
had recently carried off a little girl. She was the seventh person killed in
two months by the animal. And it was growing bolder. The previous victim
was a man who had been attacked in broad daylight in his field. The beast
dragged him off into the forest and his corpse was later found hanging from
a tree. The villagers kept a watch nearby that night, hoping to surprise the
panther and kill it, but it never appeared.
The Forest Department hired a professional hunter. He set up a small,
hidden platform in a tree near a river where two of the attacks had taken
place. A goat was tied to a stake on the river’s bank. The hunter waited
several nights. He assumed the panther would be an old, wasted male with
worn teeth, incapable of catching anything more difficult than a human.
But it was a sleek tiger that stepped into the open one night: a female with a
single cub. The goat bleated. Oddly, the cub, who looked to be about three
months old, paid little attention to the goat. It raced to the water’s edge,
where it drank eagerly. Its mother followed it. Of hunger and thirst, thirst is
the greater urge. Only once the tiger had quenched her thirst did she turn to
the goat to satisfy her hunger.
The hunter had two rifles with him: one with real bullets, the other with
immobilizing darts. This animal was not a man-eater but was so close to
human habitation that she might pose a threat to the villagers, especially as
she was with a cub. He picked up the gun with the darts. He fired as the
tiger was about to attack the goat. The tiger reared up and snarled and
raced away. But immobilizing darts don’t bring on sleep gently; they knock
the creature out without warning. A burst of activity on the animal’s part
makes it act all the faster.
The hunter, whose name was Richard Parker, picked it up and with his bare
hands and remembering how it has rushed to drink in the river, named it
Thirsty. But the shipping clerk at the Howrah train station was evidently a
man both confused and diligent. All the papers received with the cub clearly
stated that its name was None Given. Richard Parker’s name stuck. I don’t
know if the hunter was ever called Thirsty None Given!
