The Mfuwe man-eating lion was one of the largest man-eating lions on record, perhaps the largest, at over 10 feet (3.0 m) in length and 500 pounds (230 kg) in mass. It was killed in 1991 in the Luangwa River valley, Zambia, by an American, Wayne Hosek. It had eaten six humans around Mfuwe, the valley's main settlement.
