Mfuwe man eating lion


The Mfuwe man-eating lion was one of the largest man-eating lions on record, perhaps the largest, at over in length and in mass. It was killed in 1991 in the Luangwa River valley, Zambia, by an individual from California. It had eaten six humans around Mfuwe, the valley's main settlement. The cat's body has been on display at the Field Museum in Chicago since 1998 -- its specimen joining a notorious pair of man-eating lions dubbed the Tsavo lions.
