CHICAGO ? The nightly attacks by two man-eating lions terrified railway workers and brought construction to a halt in one of east Africa's most notorious onslaughts more than a hundred years ago. But the death toll, scientists now say, wasn't as high as previously thought.
Over nine months the two voracious hunters known as the Tsavo lions claimed 35 lives ? no small figure, but much less than some accounts of as many as 135 victims.
