The movie was typical Hollywood nonsense-not even close to the book and reality. The real lions are preserved at the Field Museum in Chicago.

I believe those lions are in a museum in Chicago, in case anyone wants an excuse to go to Chi-town.

thats correct, ghost and the darkness. probably not a good choice to watch with young kids. some parts get pretty intense. My boy wanted to watch that movie every week when he was only 9 or 10. Its a great movie no doubt but he was bound and determined to wear it out.

Also all of Jim Corbett’s books. Especially “Man-Eaters of Kumaon” This man was a phenomenal hunter and naturalist. That guy had them made out of steal! India was some great reading, be neat to know how many Maneaters he killed in his day!

I saw those mounted lions in the Field Museum in Chicago, when I was in my teens. What amazed me was that the natives didn't immediately get together and hunt down and kill those lions, rather than let so many of their people be killed.
Keith They were employed by the railroad, building a bridge I think. Most likely unarmed. Some countries the lions are protected and the natives are basically a food base. That might have changed in the past years.

I can't even begin to imagine how alive you would feel going after man eating predictors- not predictors that had the potential to become man eaters- certified bad actors who might be hunting you at any moment of your day. Ppl have accused me of being an adrenaline junkie but wow.
