The Lions of Tsavo

Exploring the Legacy of Africa's Notorious Man-Eaters

By Bruce D. Paterson

In 1898 the British began building a bridge over the Tsavo River in Africa; in nine months, two lions killed 135 workers. Bruce Patterson has conducted extensive fieldwork on these lions and presents new evidence on the killings and also explores man's interaction with the Kenyan environment, creating a comprehensive portrait of the lions of Tsavo.
