The two male lions, which went mostly unseen, were named the Ghost and the Darkness. Maneless lions have never been so scary. The skins and skulls of the man-eating lions of Tsavo were sold in 1924 to the Field Museum in Chicago, Ill., where the skins were mounted into taxidermy that can still be seen today. 119 years ago, these two massive, maneless, man-eating lions hunted railway workers in the Tsavo region of Kenya. During a nine-month period in 1898, the lions killed at least 35 people and as many as 135, according to different accounts

I love this movie. They don't just have a picture of the Lions in the museum, they have the actual stuffed lions in Chicago. I saw them long ago on a trip in high school. I'm 6'5" tall and they could almost look me in the eyes when they were standing on all four feet. Truly sent a shiver down my spine when I came around a corner in the museum and was face to face with them. They looked unusual not only because of their size, but also because they were fully grown males but didn't have manes. The death toll between the two was estimated as high as 135 people on the railway site. Great reaction! Not many people react to this one, thank you.

I knew a lady who ran a sanctuary for wild carnivores. She took a group of us out there, one Saturday, to show us around, and help her feed them. I locked eyes with one of the lionesses, and she crept around to a shelter, (it was like an oversized doghouse), got up on top of it, and leapt at me, throwing herself against the chain link fence, which was the only thing separating us. She did this repeatedly. It was very unnerving.

@loribernardisunwell9663 Жыл бұрын

@@kimberlygabaldon3260 It was the locking eyes part. In the wild, or even with an unfamiliar dog, this means you straight up want a fight. You can look into the eyes of your own dog or cat, or an animal you know and are close with, because you've established a bond and understanding, but to a wild animal or even a domesticated animal that you dont know, this is or can be a direct challenge to fight. Apparently she was ready to throw down lol.

@kimberlygabaldon3260 Жыл бұрын

@@loribernardisunwell9663 I understand that, but it was unintentional. I was just standing there looking at her, and she suddenly turned her head and stared right into my eyes. It was only a second. I quickly looked away from her eyes, but she immediately locked on to me, visually, and crouched down low, climbed up onto her "doghouse, and launched herself, slamming into the fence. She never took her eyes off of me, nor did she roar or vocalize in any way. She was dead silent. I moved away with the rest of the group, (and avoided looking at her), but she kept doing it over and over, even after we had walked about 40 or 50 feet away. The animals in the sanctuary were accustomed to humans. They had all been born in captivity, then either surrendered when they got too big, or seized by authorities. The same sanctuary had had a Siberian tiger bite off the arm of one of their volunteers, a couple of years before. The woman who ran the sanctuary told us all about it. She was there when it happened. It had been all over the news. I never had any desire to work with big cats. Or bears. Or primates. I'd rather deal with almost anything else.

I just posted a similar experience but in my case it was a tiger. I was no more than 6ft from her when she roared and you can absolutely feel it resonate through your entire body! I could be holding a bazooka and there's still no way I'd go head to head with any big cat.

I remember seeing the movie and was terrified of the lions. Years later, I was in Chicago to see relatives and decided to go to the museum where the Tsavo Man-Eaters were housed. To this day, decades later, I still felt a sense of unease and dread looking into their eyes. I know the eyes were glass and all, but I felt like I was looking into the eyes of serial killers and only a thin piece of glass stood between them and me.

@kellykiewert5029 Жыл бұрын

There are some great documentaries on youtube about these lions. The actual death count is 130 or 140. Although some events here were dramatized the actual story was really worse. The lions are in the Field Museum in Chicago, but because the skins spent many years as rugs, there was heavy damage done to the hides. Large portions had to be cut off to be able to reshape them and stuff them. So in real life they were much bigger than how they appear today.

Some do, though. (Hunt together) Often brothers but sometimes just friends. They even form packs as partners, although often they have a falling-out over time. Don't know about weird infection - could be, though, of course. I remember reading they were old and had terrible teeth and weren't able to kill wildebeest and other quick animals, and humans are easy to kill. And would you look at that - a whole camp full of naked, slow snacks! If there hadn't been a bridge-building operation, the lions would have died of starvation.

Another, more likely theory, is that the very unusual behavior of the lions in the Tsavo region were a late symptom of the East African (Arab/Muslim) Slave Trade. For hundreds of years columns of captured slaves were marched right through this area by Islamic slavers, on the way to slave dhows in Zanzibar, to be taken to Oman, India, and other ports in the Islamic world. When some of these slaves died, which they did in enormous numbers, the slavers simply left their bodies by the side of the trail. The lions in that region likely acclimated to the taste of human flesh over time (when otherwise and elsewhere lions normally do not eat humans) simply through the sheer abundance of scavengeable corpses. Additionally, one of the lions had an abscess in the jaw which would have made hunting more difficult, and game was reduced in the region at that time due to a disease outbreak. It was probably a combination of these factors.

Lions in that region don't really have manes because of all the scrub brush and thickets. I believe that is unique to that region only.

From his chapped lips watching this movie, to not being able to swallow his own spit from The Exorcist! I love watching your reactions and can't wait to watch another classic film with you two. Thanks again! 🍿📽️👍🦁

Love this movie! This is what I immediately thought of when I saw the trailer for Idris Elba’s movie Beast. Hope you guys enjoy it as well! Lions might resort to hunting humans when they’re sick or injured because we’re easier prey than their normal preferences & I believe is said might’ve been the case for these lions.

Val Kilmer played Doc Holiday in "Tombstone". Check him out in the film "Real Genius". I hate that guy already and I've not even left the room. The sound track is so good on this film. It is the Ghost and the Darkness. This is one of Michael Douglas' greatest roles. Great reaction, kids. It is a cat. It climbs. The Ghost and The Darkness are at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. They have no manes like the lions in the film. Beaumont wanted to beat the Germans and the French building this bridge. He wanted his knighthood.

You two are so funny when reacting to movies 🤣🤣 After the last two very intense movies you saw this week I highly suggest reacting to another comedy. I would love it if you could react to more John Candy movies. You would absolutely love "Uncle Buck" (my favorite John Candy film) and "The Great Outdoors" with Dan Aykroyd. Both are hilarious movies that really show off Candy's comedic chops. I also highly recommend reacting to "The Naked Gun" film series with Leslie Nielson. At least react to the first one. Leslie Nielson is downright awesomely funny and you will be on the floor dying of laughter. As always keep up the good work!!!!

I saw these lions in the Field Museum, the only difference is that they were maneless lions. What they have in Chicago is smaller than they actually were too because they were REALLY shot up, and much of their hide was missing. But the most terrifying thing about the trip was the Dan Ryan freeway, and the parking bill.

May years ago, I was in a hide (a trench covered with reeds and such) at the Mt. Etjo reserve in Namibia. Lions are very active at night. A carcass was provided and very soon a couple of male lions came and began to tear into it. I and those with me were about fifteen feet away (it felt a lot closer). After starting in on the carcass, the two males started to engage in a test of strength, each one trying to pull the meat away from the other. While doing this, they were almost silent. Then one let out a snarl I will never forget and struck at the other. The speed of the strike was unreal. Between the snarl and the speed, I was momentarily paralyzed. Fortunately, my videocamera was already running. And I will never forget those eyes.

Went to the zoo with my kids and nephews and visited the lion habitat. The children were small and squirrely, and their running around and excited squealing caught the undivided attention of one of the lionesses. She stood on a fallen log as close as she could get and stared, unblinking and unmoving, while the children played. All I could think was, "all that is between her and my children is a dry moat and a tiny wire fence." We left right away to go look at the zebras. Even though we were safe, it was quite unnerving. I can't even imagine being in Africa, where there is nothing between your children and the lions except flimsy little you. I'll watch them on my tv, thanks.

The guys with the spears that were drinking cows blood are Maasai, a tribe from East Africa. I don't know what their customs are now, but back in the day they would drink blood from their cattle. They were also considered to be legendary hunters and they trained to kill lions with those spears.

@yepimheretoo2270 Жыл бұрын

I loved that they had the real tribe members in this movie, instead of a 'Hollywood' version of who they are using actors.

The man who said he killed a lion with his bare hands is Masi, they are known lion hunters and have trained instincts to pick up lions. It's part of their rites to kill a lion. The two Tsavo lions were thought to be reincarnated witch doctors who intended to return to get rid of the colonists and those who would help them from their lands. They were unusual, strangely developed, and are now in a museum stuffed.
