During 1898, two maneless male lions hunted, killed and ate over 130 Indian railway workers in Kenya. Read the stories and theories behind the legend. There has been much speculation about the man-eaters of Tsavo with a fair amount of sensationalizing and dramatizing especially in the movie based on the story. “The Ghost and the Darkness” was an entertaining film but definitely a spiced up version. “Tsavo” translates to “Place of Slaughter” which is aptly named if true. Between Lt. Col John Patterson, who was building a railway bridge over the Tsavo River (Kenya) during 1898, who hunted a wide variety of wildlife extensively, and the 2 Tsavo lions that allegedly killed and ate over 130 Indian workers the name certainly fits the bill. |
