A seagull in Southeast Wales turned bright orange after falling into a vat of chicken tikka masala! A baby seahorses called a fry. The Tsavo man-eaters are on display at the Field Museum of natural history in Chicago. In 1898, a pair of lions ate as many as 135 men working on the British Kenya-Uganda Railway.

Of course, when one of the lionesses saw her oldest cub chase a worker up a tree, she told him not to play with his food!!

The lions were both male and brothers. There was a movie called the Ghost and the Darkness about these lions.

We are easy prey, smallish, with soft, thin skin and don’t run very fast.

You can see the two lions from Tsavo, at the Chicago Field Museum. Even after being made into rugs, and then mounted as specimens – they are huge and frightening.

The railway eventually evened the score by running over a bunch of them! (Hard to outrun a locomotive!)

@Bruno Zeigerts—Several years ago there WAS a week-long Garfield routine wherein he & Jon were watching a TV movie about a man-eating lion. It ended when my 2nd-favorite cartoon Kat remarked, “At the end it was Lion 42, Villlagers 1”!!

@Bruno Zeigerts—my favorite is Krazy Kat, the creation of George Herriman (1880-1944). That’s the K in RipleyKGarfield.
