	Tsavo Maneater Pictures (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Maneater #2 has a patch of long hair on both cheeks, and two patches of dark hair on the fronts of the shoulders.
		The canine injury on maneater was an old injury, and the skull had 'remodeled' itself to accomodate the injury.
		Other factors that led to the specific instance of the Tsavo maneaters were a lack of normal prey, unusually thick thornbush at that time, and a legacy of man-eating brought on by the easy availability of dying/dead slaves and railroad workers.

		The Tsavo maneaters are on display at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and have been the subject of several books, movies, and scientific studies.
		With the exception of one old female that had killed and partially consumed a child, and two others euthanised for injuries caused by buffaloes, the majority of Tsavo's troublemakers were healthy males under five years of age caught on farms and ranches bordering the park.
		Patterson, who is conducting several research projects on Tsavo's lions, says that young males expelled from their natural prides are leaving the park's boundaries in search of a territory and encountering a growing population of humans and livestock.

	Maneater Lions of Tsavo

		Incidentally, the real Tsavo lions lived and died in present-day Kenya, but the political instability of Kenya in 1996 made the film crews decide to film in South Africa.

	★ Reviews of books about kenya
		What sets the lions of Tsavo apart from the more familiar ones we know from nature documentaries, is that they are much bigger, and the males are either maneless of have very short manes, in either case nothing like the regal mountains of fur on their cousins from the Serengeti.
		It is possible that since Tsavo is much warmer than the Serengeti, manes are too expensive in terms of internal resources to grow.
		Caputo encounters several scientists who argue that the lions of Tsavo are genetically distinct from the lions on the Serengeti.

		However I visited Tsavo, Samburu, Amboseli, The highlands, Mara a number of times, and then we stopped at some smaller camps as we drove what seemed to be all over Kenya from park to park.
		When I went to Tsavo, I think it was Tsavo West and the grass was quite high because it was in May. Don't know what you want to know but I don't remember all of the camps by name.
		I will not be returning to Tsavo and probably this next trip to Tanzania will be the last to East Africa.
