The nightly attacks by two man-eating lions terrified railway workers and brought construction to a halt in one of east Africa's most notorious onslaughts more than a hundred years ago. But the death toll, scientists now say, wasn't as high as previously thought.

Delay of the railroad was even subject to debate in Britain's House of Commons.

Global warming or Bush’s fault?

That was a good movie, even if Michael Douglas is a Commie POS.

Good movie. Just thinking two male lions could just go off together and kill people for the “fun” of it made quite frightening.

Story is nicely told by Lt. Col. J.H. Patterson in “THE MAN-EATERS OF TSAVO”

Michael Douglas did a great job in that movie. I was very surprised to see him in such a role. Usually he’s playing these tight-ass characters.
