[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 3011344, member: 118038"] I saw the movie, The Ghost and the Darkness with Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas back in 1996. I've seen the actual lions at the Museum of Science in Chicago----but this Book Man Eaters of Tsavo by J.H. Patterson which is the actual man who killed both lions while building the railroad bridge across the Tsavo River in Uganda is dynamite. You won't put it down. Those lions carried off hundreds of people. They were brazen, coming right into the camps, tents, rail way sleeping cars, every place. No place was safe. J.H. Patterson was I believe a Lt. Col. in the British Army. His main weapon was a British Enfield .303. He also had a double bbl 12 gauge, but in my opinion he was woefully under gunned for this task. The results and post mortem bear this out as a fact. Get this book. You will enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
