Tsavo Man-Eaters: The Lions Who Hunted Humans

Tsavo Man-Eaters: The Lions Who Hunted Humans is a historical account that explores one of Africa's most notorious animal attacks. The project delves into the true story of two lions that killed over a hundred workers during the construction of the Kenya-Uganda Railway in the late 1800s, examining the psychology behind human-hunting behavior and the environmental factors that may have driven these apex predators to view people as prey. Tony Woods brought this fascinating intersection of history, crime, and wildlife to JRE 2011, where he and Joe discussed the hunting dynamics, survival psychology, and ecological lessons from this compelling case that challenges our understanding of predator-prey relationships.
