What Beast Was Terrorizing France in 1700s?

In the 18th century, a mysterious and deadly creature known as the Beast of Gévaudan terrorized the rural region of Gévaudan in southern France. Between 1764 and 1767, over 100 people—mostly women and children—were reportedly attacked, with many losing their lives to this enigmatic beast. Descriptions of the creature were chilling: some said it looked like a massive wolf, others claimed it was a monstrous hybrid unlike anything they had ever seen.

As fear gripped the region, the King of France even sent royal hunters and soldiers to track down and kill the Beast, yet it seemed to evade capture, leaving death and mystery in its wake. Was it a wolf, a lion, or something altogether supernatural? And could it have been more than one animal?
