The Tsavo Man-Eaters on display in the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois
The display of the two man eaters in the Field Museum is dramatic. The pair of male lions terrorized workers building the Uganda Railway in Kenya from March to December 1898. They killed and ate a large number of people. Lieutenant Colonel John Henry Patterson, the project's chief engineer, led the nine months hunt to eliminate the lions. Patterson used the lion skins as rugs for twenty five years before selling them to the Field Museum.
