It seems the "king of beasts" is developing a preference for tender human flesh over the horns and hoofs of its everyday prey. Still, maneating lions are considered the exception rather than the rule... which must be a great comfort to the humans who share their domain. |
Elephants, rhinos, buffalos and hippos may appear to be gentle, mild-mannered vegetarians, but they kill more people in Africa than the better-known maneaters. |
