The Man-eating Lions of Mozambique

[Ben Lamb]

I guess this would be considered "other" big game.

Into this vacuum of lawlessness, lions have moved in from southern Tanzania and the interior of Mozambique. Increasingly these cats are adding humans to their menu. One explanation for the increase in man-eaters is that bushpigs have become a dietary mainstay for lions living near settlements. The pigs invariably feed at night in cornfields, which are often guarded by crop-protecting villagers. When the lions come hunting, they come into close proximity to people, and the cats develop a sense of familiarity that breeds lethal contempt. Sleeping sentries become collateral targets, and once the lions appreciate the ease of the kill, they add human flesh to their diet.

That's nothing we have wolves that do the same right here in the Root.

Better turn Pigman & Uncle Teddy loose with the helicopters and full auto's...

That's how a wuss hunts man-eating lions.

A man walks into the lion's den and rips the lion's heart out.

Can you place your mouth around the anus of a lion without getting a tapeworm?

As a kid on safari in Kenya, I was always more concerned with hyenas than lions. Several stories a month about a hyena coming into a village and grabbing up a kid like a rag doll.

Now that the lions are making a comeback, and the ungulates are not doing as well as they had done in the past......a lion is going do what it takes to get his next grub-on. Goats and sheep are generally more well protected than a kid living in a thatched hut with a cloth door.

I believe so! Just don't suck at the same time. You might ask Toby what he thinks.

Plant some Coca or Coffea.

As a kid growing up in Lander, Wyoming, my imaginary friend was a lioness named Elsa who eventually returned to Sinks Canyon when we moved.

Apparently Born Free was a heavy influence on my imagination back in the day.
