When lions become man-eaters,
these inert and treacherous brutes
take no unnecessary trouble to catch
men, and while human beings are
plentiful, none Of them undertake
perilous enterprises or proceed on
any haphazard expeditions. They
know what to do and where to 60 in
order that prey may be procured with
the least amount Of risk or exertion.
Such a lion is well aware Of who tills
this cornheld or that mealie patch.
He has informed himself Of how many
men accompany the vii age herds,
where any outlying camps are stu
ated, and how they are guarded. There
is no route by which travellers pro-
ceed or traffic is carried on, that such
animals have not studied with refer
ence to the facilities Of attack they
afford and their own bodily powers.
If otherwise good strategic positions
present natural difficulties, the lion
not only considers how there can be
overcome, but, perhaps, practices his
part beforehand. At all events, he
has been watched willie engaged in
exercises that can only be explained
in this way.
SO puny a creature as man IS, when
unproyided with effective implements
for offence, stands little chance
against such foe-an assailant hay-
ing forty times his own strength,
backed by marvellous activity and an
intense passion for carnage. Under
these circumstances savages can only
shut themselves up, or assault their
enemy in large masses. On the
other hand. those precautions taken
by a murderous lion might not seem
to comport with that bold and often
reckless temper attributed TO this
species. But such a discrepancy has
no real existence; it only appears
when Judgment is made without tax
ing al the facts into consideration
This animals intelligence, developed
in man eaters to its highest point, to-
gether with an organic stealthiness Of
nature and procliyity toward unex-
pected attacks and strategems, fully
account for everything a lion does in
the way Of guarding against failure.
