The Tsavo Man-Eaters were a pair of man-eating lions in the Tsavo region, which were responsible for the deaths of a number of construction workers on the Kenya-Uganda Railway between March and December 1898. The significance of this lion pair was their unusual behavior of killing men and the manner of their attacks.
Tsavo male lions generally do not have a mane, though colouration and thickness vary. Tsavo males may have heightened levels of testosterone, which could also explain their reputation for aggression.
