Just as the project was in full swing in Tsavo, a pair of man-eating lions appeared, severely hampering the progress of the project. Their skills are so cunning that they can escape even if they are trapped in a huge trap surrounded by sleepers and iron bars and faced with a group of well-equipped soldiers only a few feet away. This incredible behavior has earned them the nickname "Night Demons". This human tragedy caused by two man-eating lions lasted for several months, claiming the lives of about a hundred people, and finally ended with Patterson's wit and perseverance.
