A recent study reveals that the infamous Tsavo Man-Eaters fed upon various species, confirmed through DNA analysis of hairs found in the lions’ teeth, including humans.
Construction workers on the Kenya-Uganda railway disappeared or were killed at an alarming rate due to the attacks of two maneless male lions, leading to widespread terror and fear.
Patterson had to actively defend the workers as the lions became so bold that they dragged people from their tents at night, escalating the threat significantly.
The exact number of kills by the Tsavo lions remains debated, with estimates ranging from as low as 28 to potentially over 100 victims.
