One consumed at least 24; death toll not as high as previously thought

I guess africa could be called the Lion's version of Burger King take out. Their own branch of fresh native fast food. Fast food as in that these natives would be running at the time for their lives.

Wasn't there a movie about it?

And I am a Lion-eating man.

Those lions are amateurs, take a look at this

The Ghost and the Darkness, as someone already mentioned.
That is a pretty decent film. I own it and still put it in once in a while.

You can pay a visit to these two kitties. They are exposed in a museum in Chicago.

I have a book titled, 'African Game Trails. An Account of the African Wanderings of an American Hunter-Naturalist' by Theodore Roosevelt that was published in 1910. Roosevelt wrote that man eating lions were a not uncommon occurrence in Africa when he was visiting there. This book is very interesting in that it captures a contemporary commentary and point of view from back then. Also what is neat about the book is that it has a thin, Translucent page of vellum paper to separate each photograph page from the following text page.
