Get Out Alive

Ep. 15: The Tsavo Man-Eaters


Listen Later

In the late 1890s, an area of Kenya called Tsavo was terrorized by two mane-less male lions. Depending on who you ask, they killed between 35-300 people. Join Nick and Ashley for this long tale of two cats, and how for many months they evaded over 8,000 men, one of which was John Henry Patterson (who wrote a book about his journey in The Man Eaters of Tsavo and Other East African Adventures), despite him staying up every night to try to stop their killing spree.

The taxidermized specimens of these lions can be found at the Field Museum in Chicago.
