3. Jimi HendrixBorn in Seattle, Washington, Hendrix began playing guitar at age 15. Hendrix acquired his first acoustic guitar, for $5. He played for hours daily, watching others and learning from more experienced guitarists, and listening to blues artists such as Robert Johnson. Before Hendrix was 19 years old, law authorities had twice caught him riding in stolen cars. Given a choice between prison or joining the Army, he chose the latter and enlisted on May 31, 1961. Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music. On September 17, 1970 Hendrix was found breathing but unconscious and unresponsive. His then girlfriend called for an ambulance, and it arrived nine minutes later. Paramedics transported Hendrix to St Mary Abbots Hospital where he was pronounced dead on September 18 at the age of 27.

2. Robert Leroy JohnsonRobert Johnson was born in Mississippi, possibly on May 1911. Edward James remembered Johnson as a "little boy" who was a competent harmonica player but an embarrassingly bad guitarist. Soon after, Johnson left Robinsonville for the area around Martinsville, close to his birthplace, possibly searching for his natural father. Here he perfected the guitar style of Edward James and learned other styles from Isaiah "Ike" Zimmerman.

Despite their large size, they are more closely related to smaller feline species than to lions or leopards. Adult males may be more than 8 feet long (from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail), and can weigh between 130 and 150 pounds. Adult females can be 7 feet long and weigh between 65 and 90 pounds. They are able to hunt at night just as effectively as they can during the day.

Don't let their looks fool you. They are relative excellent hunters as well. Here is an antelope being brought down and killed by cheetah after being stalked through long grass in Kenya - After stealthily approaching their prey the leader of the pack launched its attack, bringing down one of the topis in less than three seconds in an acrobatic fashion.Source: dailymail uk

MAN EATING INSTANCE. Champawat Tiger The tiger began her attacks in a Rupal village in western Nepal, Himalayas. Hunters were sent in to kill the tiger, but she managed to evade them. It was eventually killed by Jim CorbettSecond image (Artistic Impression)
|
HUNTING They take hunting to the next level. The tigers generally hunt alone and overpower prey from any angle, using their body size and strength to knock the prey off balance. Successful hunts usually require the tiger to almost simultaneously leap onto its quarry, knock it over, and grab the throat or nape with its teeth
|
It is territorial and generally a solitary but social predator, requiring large contiguous areas of habitat to support its requirements for prey and rearing of its offspring. It is a strong swimmer and often bathes in ponds, lakes and rivers, thus keeping cool in the heat of the day. Male tigers are generally less tolerant of other males within their territories than females are of other females

SKILLED AT HUNTING AS WELL The jaguar's powerful bite allows it to pierce the carapaces of turtles and tortoises, and to employ an unusual killing method: it bites directly through the skull of mammalian prey between the ears to deliver a fatal blow to the brain.
|
2. JAGUAR It is the biggest cat species in the Americas and the third largest in the world. The first official record of a jaguar killing a human in Brazil dates to June 2008. Two children were attacked by jaguars in Guyana. The jaguar is the least likely of all big cats to kill and eat humans, and the majority of attacks come when it has been cornered or wounded.

They are great hunters Their favourites are wildebeest, zebras, antelopes, gazelles and waterbuck. They do, though, also have a fondness for warthogs and have been known to lie in wait outside their burrows for hours on end. That said, if a lion is hungry enough and cannot find its preferred food, it’ll resort to eating whatever it can find, including fish.

1. The lion is a well-muscled cat with a long body, large head, and short legs. Size and appearance vary considerably between the sexes. Lions are unique among cats in that they live in a group, or pride. The members of a pride typically spend the day in several scattered groups that may unite to hunt or share a meal. A pride consists of several generations of lionesses, some of which are related, a smaller number of breeding males, and their cubs. The group may consist of as few as 4 or as many as 37 members, but about 15 is the average size.
