I remember seeing a native fall overboard from a dugout canoe in one of Frank Buck’s films. I must have been in the Amazon River area of South American because eh poor fellow rolled over in the water o reveal numerous Piranha fish clinging to him. The cameraman keep the camera on the poor guy until he disappeared under the water. It was this scene that convinced me that Piranha are capable of killing a human being.

Does anyone have archive film of this scene? Appreciate a reply because just returned from the Amazon where I caught a Piranha and cooked it. It was delicious. But locals said these fish do not attack humans. Yet, recent episode of “Rivr Monsters” details 3-year old child consumed by piranha after falling in the water. Anything???

Addition, it is a tiger that is still growing. If it were a tiger bigger, surely he would have exterimano the python in seconds.

If the tiger was well fed, he would have won easily.
On the Internet there are videos that show tigers and tiger killing pytonh:

I also remember watching “Bring ‘Um Back Alive” but I think it was in San Diego. Later, in about 1947 I think, I went to movies in Chattanooga, while we lived for a few months in Soddy Daisy! I too was enthralled by Frank Buck’s movies, which of course led to an appreciation of any and all of the animal channels and documentaries that have followed.

I have been back in San Diego for most of my adult life and several times a year visit and enjoy our wonderful zoo, and often wonder how many of our early collection of animals may have come from Frank Buck. I must remember to ask the next time I visit.

I really enjoyed this “behind the scenes” article!

I watched this movie of the python/tiger over 63 years ago with my Dad. I have always wondered how this action was captured on film. I was a small child then, but vividly remember the scene. My Dad and
I saw many Frank Buck movies I recall, on Saturdays at the Dixie Theater on Broad Street in Chattanooga, Tenn during the early 1940′s. His movies have created a lifelong appreciation of animal shows. Thank you Mr. Buck.
