About this listen

 On this episode of Gotta Start Somewhere, we talk about Tsavo Maneaters. A pair of lions terrorized construction workers as they built a train bridge over the Tsavo River in Kenya in 1898. While no exact number can be pinpointed, we’ll talk about how modern scientists used isotopic signatures to confirm that these lions ate upwards of 70 people within a few short months.
