This Simpson character is a bit of a joke! Dressed like a hunter but carries a shotgun, which definitely will not stop a charging Lion ,and his tracker is carrying a Martini Henry single shot black powder rifle? The simple reason why Lions are now attacking humans is because they have lost their fear of humans, when they were hunted regularly they would not go anywhere near a human. The bit about the lack of prey species is also ridiculous, if the bush Pigs are attacking the crops in large groups, then there are plenty of prey species to be had, this whole programme appears to have been made by amateurs.

Weird to hear a veteran lion tracker say something like he did......"It's very difficult to keep up with these animals because they're always on the move." I'm not even any kind of expert and even I know they're on the move for a maximum of maybe 4-6 hours in a day, they lay around sleeping in the same spot, not moving around, for the other 18-20 hours of each day. They move around less then most animals in Africa....are you sure this guys an expert
They'll travel for many miles after a kill, maneaters are well known for it. Not all are laying about waiting for Nat Geo animal experts. Or the sort of experts shown. These are not Bigfoots, they're lions. They've been infamous for eating the locals in Tanzania since written records began, and before that. Some districts in particular apparently, including 2 named here. For a period during British colonisation, they had an efficient game department that vigorously hunted them down, and were good at it. Some would have dug a hole or built a blind near the kill and hidden in it, but they weren't US experts. Or made a cage trap & baited it with themselves in a secure compartment. Few lions got to kill large numbers of the locals, Njombe prides being a very notable exception before the ranger sorted them out & converted them to floor mats. With modern population and poaching displacing their more usual food, humans are more likely on the menu. One ranger described some are professionals, others casual. So it seems that the normal lion behaviour of centuries, millenniums, is suddenly bizarre and abnormal just because a few humans choose to invent this fantasy that lions are nice and nature harmless. They're not gentlemen or noble, they are big cats. And cats are unpleasantly predatory if very hungry or bored. The fact excess human population provides alternative meals must be quite pleasant for lions so inclined in those parts where this behaviour seems hereditary. Inventing an excuse for the belief (& practice) of witchcraft serves to emphasise the delusions imported experts demonstrate. It's African religion. The issue of poisoning is very sound though. It's what killed off tigers too. Should be taken on board these rangers (impeded by a film crew and actors) are trying to limit killing lions to the problem ones, one incentive being to foster commercial trophy hunting of effectively surplus population.

I cannot believe they killed two leopards just because they could not find the man-eating lions. If they were experts, they would have had a vet with them who could have anesthetised the leopards and released them. This is madness and done just to justify the video.

How about the Tanzanian government builts some sort houses for the villages where the Lions can't reach? since they make lots of money from animal conservation? 😢😮

@@chrisbennett6260But his language is very annoying But I get his point I must say Tanzania needs to do better. Even Zimbabwe which has been under sanctions for 23 years we don't have this problem. Out National Parks service takes care of these issues quickly
Are these lions the offspring of a few old and injured lions that hunted humans as their only option? Did they successfully pass on those new hunting skills to succeeding generations?
And the elephant in the room? Human population. research has shown that when infant mortality rates become very small, people have fewer children. By placing well trained midwives in communities, population growth will slow and therefore human encroachment into wildlife areas reduce and poaching subside. Deal with the problem at it's source and more constructive outcomes will follow.
THIS HAS BEEN THE STORY ALL OVER THE WORLD! HERE IN CANADA WHERE I LIVE, THE HABITAT OF GRIZZLY BEARS HAS BEEN DESTROYED, AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ATTACKED AND ALSO KILLED AS A RESULT!
If every couple has just one child or less, we can reduce the human population from 8 billion to 2 billion in just two generations. This is not about selective breeding but about fairness for all living creatures on the planet and therefore our own survival.
Totally agree with you. The villagers do not have 5 or 10 cattle to live off, they have a herd of 50 or 60 to make lots of profit but the cattle eat the grass the wild animals eat and so they are forced to move away. The natives are too ignorant to realise they are the root of the problem
I first saw this documentary some years ago, and it's good to see it back. I wish there had been an update or a "sequel" documentary on the situation, but whatever happened after this was made, it very probably was not good for the lions and I don't see how else it realistically could have been.
Well, humans invaded the animals natural habitat. What do they expect? Either do something to protect the villagers or move them elsewhere. Animals are not any crueler than humans killing each other.
I wonder how people would feel if they were living in one of those villages, or perhaps had lost one of their loved ones to a lion attack....no doubt they eould not be so judgemental..
Invent a smart snare that does work then! Conduct interviews with the lions and ask them whether or not they prefer the taste of humans. Put them on a loyalty program where they can redeem points for their favorite food! Yeah! That’ll work! 🙄🤪
@@sirtango1 I ACTUALLY THINK YOUR SUGGESTIONS MIGHT JUST WORK, BECAUSE AFTER ALL, THESE LIONS APPEAR TO BE VERY SMART, AND MIGHT BE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE WITH HUMANS IN SOME WAY!
It always fascinates me why this is usually in East Africa where you get man eating lions. Very very rarely happens in Zimbabwe where I am from. Regularly see lions in Kariba and Victoria Falls cities yet they maybe attack humans once every 5 years and I'm not aware of a group of lions consistently attacking and eating humans 😮 My East African brothers and sisters what are you doing wrong to cause this change in behaviour 🤔😕😒 I regularly also visit surrounding countries of Botswana, Mozambique and South Africa and this isn't common in Southern Africa
The people eattten by lion beasts are mostly from your country Zimbabwe. We all saw the documentary where your people were migrating on foot to South Africa and lions have learned beating bots and pans was a dinner bell of human being (Zimbabweans). It was only a documentary of westerners recorded ultra aggressssive mean lions. If it wasn’t for the westerners who were recording wild life documentaries no one would ever talk about it. It’s not how you put it it’s about transparency about man eating lions and admitting lions are eating people. Your country does not and will not admit how lions are devastating Zimbabweans. As far as what has gone wrong is, we used to hunt and eliminate many lions and lions used to fear man. However, we are embracing “conservation” and no one is allowed to shoosh a lion. In return, lions lost their fear of man and man is on the menu.
As if people living in Africa needed one more thing to worry about. Now they have to worry about lions digging through their roof in the middle of the night to drag them off into the darkness and eat them. That’s pretty terrifying.
I am also very surprised at the way these lions are now behaving in Tanzania. I mean, 2 lions killing 2 men "right in front of a police station" ( 6:02 ). I suspect it is only a matter of time before the lions break into an arms dump and get their paws on rifles and grenades - expect this crisis to get much, much worse.
Why on earth the tracking team won’t have tranquillisers with them??? Thoroughly sad to see those 2 amazingly beautiful leopards getting killed for nothing!!!
This so called American expert should be thrown out. He killed an innocent leopard. Leopard could have been tranqulized , rescued from snare and released.
It was the country’s policy that any big cat caught would have to be euthanised. They couldn’t risk more attacks, as both lions and even leopards in the area were known to be man eaters, but I agree the leopards weren’t really man eaters compared to lions
Either animals are finding hard to find food sources due to habitat loss or they're just getting tired of humans encroaching on their habits homelands , so they're taking them out and eating them.
we can't talk cos we do not live there and share people fears, if this works to stop the lions attacking humans then it will be great for the lions themselves as soon or later any peasant will get a weapon to defend their grannies and babies...you can say whatever you want from your 13th floor new York condo
LEPORDS are endarged!!!!!!! I can't believe they killed it. I am so mad. That lepoard did not do anything to them!! They moved into their habitat. They were there first. Ughhhhh I am enraged right now. That leopard was BEAUTIFUL
They needed some bleeding heart that beautiful creature would understand to release it. So it could kill off a few children (they do that), more likely due to having a sore paw. The caged one could have been released though, if anyone had the bottle to do that. They don't like their captors much except as scratching posts. Unless leopards were suspect maneaters (they can be, & very difficult to get). Unfortunately it's hard to identify which leopard, so all get killed until the maneating stops. And leopards can be intermittent killers, the uncertainty was always there in some cases, wondering if the problem was just having time off.
@@jancyvargheese5351 Some of the earliest hominid fossils carry the canine marks of leopards in their skulls. And today, leopards are still found in some cities if a little cover occurs, there is plenty of pets, rats etc for them to eat.

I can’t be the only person that saw that baby playing with a giant knife at 3:47 right. Fuck the lions. That’s crazy to let a baby use a knife like that. Life in Tanzania is wild.
Did anyone ever think these people have been cruel to these animals like the gorillas before their change of heart. They r hungry and have little terriritoy left.
Regards the leopard accidentally caught in the trap. They screwed up- it was supposed to be a lion, so they killed it anyway to make it look like a victory instead of a stupid mistake.
According to what they said in that scene, they killed the leopard because they've been known to kill humans at times, too. Plus there's the politics of it: Leaving another large predator that's similar to lions alive after it was caught would have been "unthinkable," as the narrator said. And it wasn't "a stupid mistake;" those kinds of traps always have the potential to ensnare animals other than the ones you're targeting.
It's possible that them lions targeting humans is easy for them Because other animals can run and possibly avoid lions because it's their nature However humans are different And easy target I cannot imagine living where these people are it's truly terrifying
If the lions are using the cover of brush by the road then the government should have people come out and cut all the brush by the road so the Lions don't have anywhere to hide and people can see them coming
❗️What are the poor Animals sposed to do their Land is over taken by Humans❗️ Lions probably just want the Humans to leave the area what was once there’s only…..
I suspect this lions are human beings transforming into Lions to destroy fellow humans, how can they ignore these plenty wild animals and livestock to focus on people
This is so sick. This is hype and hysteria created by game hunters. My brothers and sisters from TZ this is our common heritage find the courage and spirit to say no to profit at any price. That's what we, Kenyans, admire you for, ujamaa, utu.
Payback.lions are not even safe in some game reserves like the masai mara where they are hunted down for killing cattle.Cattle that are not supposed to be there but local officials look the other way cause these are multi million dollar operations not local families trying to survive.
How ridiculous- kill any animal that is trapped regardless? The leopard was not a man eater, nor a “ potential “ man eater…they just chose to do what was easier.
Try Night Vision Scopes and high powered rifles. By a known waterholes Set up on top of a tall truck , at night, and wait for your lion. Stop trapping indiscriminately !!
THEY CAN NOT FIND ENOUGH WILD GAME TO EAT , SO THEY SEE MAN AS FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN NOT BLAME THE LIONS, EVERYTHING WANTS TO EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That donkey looked a week old. If it were a tiger they would not be able to move the kill because it would notice and not come near, lions must be more dumb not to notice.
Poor poor people what a terrible possition they found themselfs in, their lives are hell, its all very well to talk about animal concervation buut how about these people who's children nd family been eaten alive?
What about Booma protection? I thought that the people who live close to wildlife in Africa for thousands of years know how to protect themselves? Is booma protection only found in Kenya or what? Pls, inform us about that.
I don't think that it is a matter of not knowing what is needed to build stronger. It is a manner of having. Bomas, as I understand, are built out of available thorny bushes stacked as high and deeply as possible. From what I have heard of this particular situation, the bomas didn't stop the lions They would jump onto the rooftops and break in through the roofs. Break down doors, even attack in broad daylight because they could. They were not as risk. The locals don't have weapons sufficient to protect themselves and the lions know that.
Wolves n Bears also rulled all over Europe too n people had to do whatever they could for their's n loved ones survival so stop blaming africans for retaliating after members of their families are eaaten alives
Dig through,what walls,man,those people because they dont know how to protect themselves,they endanger "ALL", of the Lions,as they encroach on their land,with cattle they dont eat.
I'm sorry but great video it's just I can't see the cats getting snagged...even though they've killed people...not there fault..it's there nature...their innocent

According to what they said in that scene, they killed the leopard because they've been known to kill humans at times, too. Plus there's the politics of it: Leaving another large predator that's similar to lions alive after it was caught would have been "unthinkable," as the narrator said. And it wasn't "a stupid mistake;" those kinds of traps always have the potential to ensnare animals other than the ones you're targeting.
I AGREE! THEY COULD HAVE TRANQUILIZED THE POOR LEOPARD, AND THEN RELEASED HIM!😢
The Maasai did their job very well, to put the fear of man into the psyche of lions from a very your age. Step aside and let the Maasai do their job.
It's possible that them lions targeting humans is easy for them
Because other animals can run and possibly avoid lions because it's their nature
However humans are different
And easy target I cannot imagine living where these people are it's truly terrifying
That was wrong! You went searching for man eating lions, not leopards. It is the lions engaging in this behavior, not every predator.
Be quiet

Everybody back. No one moves … laughing…
Money is worth more than human life. Damn shame
Thats the law of nature
If the lions are using the cover of brush by the road then the government should have people come out and cut all the brush by the road so the Lions don't have anywhere to hide and people can see them coming
❗️What are the poor Animals sposed to do their Land is over taken by Humans❗️ Lions probably just want the Humans to leave the area what was once there’s only…..
if your from the west forget it ,unless your living in that situation forget it
Don't be silly, if the people left the lions miss their meals!!
Wonder what you would say if your family lived there… clown
The Lions are simply getting revenge for all of the Lions who have been killed by humans.
this looks like a very old documentary maybe it's not the real truth and the situation may be completely different as of today.
Sounds like we need more lions.
I suspect this lions are human beings transforming into Lions to destroy fellow humans, how can they ignore these plenty wild animals and livestock to focus on people
🙄🙄🤔🤔😖
lions are human beings transforming into lions... sorry but are you mad😮
OH COME ON JOBE! THIS IS WHY PEOPLE QUESTON THE INTELLIGENCE OF BLACK AFRICANS! STOP BELIEVING IN SUCH NONSENSE!
This is so sick. This is hype and hysteria created by game hunters. My brothers and sisters from TZ this is our common heritage find the courage and spirit to say no to profit at any price. That's what we, Kenyans, admire you for, ujamaa, utu.
Payback.lions are not even safe in some game reserves like the masai mara where they are hunted down for killing cattle.Cattle that are not supposed to be there but local officials look the other way cause these are multi million dollar operations not local families trying to survive.
How ridiculous- kill any animal that is trapped regardless? The leopard was not a man eater, nor a “ potential “ man eater…they just chose to do what was easier.
Try Night Vision Scopes and high powered rifles. By a known waterholes Set up on top of a tall truck , at night, and wait for your lion.
Stop trapping indiscriminately !!
Ghosts in the Darkness was a true story, movie isn't bad.
THEY CAN NOT FIND ENOUGH WILD GAME TO EAT , SO THEY SEE MAN AS FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN NOT BLAME THE LIONS, EVERYTHING WANTS TO EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was into this until the narrator lied and said global warming😂💩🤡

That donkey looked a week old. If it were a tiger they would not be able to move the kill because it would notice and not come near, lions must be more dumb not to notice.
Save the Cows & Pigs 😢 🐖🐄🐖🐃🐖
Africa is on the move the world needs Africa we have the handle they have the opasit and the world is watching
Poor poor people what a terrible possition they found themselfs in, their lives are hell, its all very well to talk about animal concervation buut how about these people who's children nd family been eaten alive?
What about Booma protection? I thought that the people who live close to wildlife in Africa for thousands of years know how to protect themselves? Is booma protection only found in Kenya or what? Pls, inform us about that.
I don't think that it is a matter of not knowing what is needed to build stronger. It is a manner of having.
Bomas, as I understand, are built out of available thorny bushes stacked as high and deeply as possible.
From what I have heard of this particular situation, the bomas didn't stop the lions
They would jump onto the rooftops and break in through the roofs. Break down doors, even attack in broad daylight because they could. They were not as risk. The locals don't have weapons sufficient to protect themselves and the lions know that.
@@cwavt8849 Thanks for reply and better understanding of the problems they have.
This is happening probably because humans are venturing on the lions territory, god gave everything their space
Leopards weren't killing humans doesn't make sense. LION'S WHERE. Fucking hell
Yeah, that leopard was about to eat someone, what a joke.
Man they killed more 🐆s then lions wtf
Wolves n Bears also rulled all over Europe too n people had to do whatever they could for their's n loved ones survival so stop blaming africans for retaliating after members of their families are eaaten alives
The Africans should be experts but they bring in a foreigner?
The lions need there own ranges and dignity .
Dig through,what walls,man,those people because they dont know how to protect themselves,they endanger "ALL", of the Lions,as they encroach on their land,with cattle they dont eat.

Did the lion murder say he’s a conservationist? It looking like it here. Looks like a lion hunter to me.
Why aren't these people armed for home defense?
I'm sorry but great video it's just I can't see the cats getting snagged...even though they've killed people...not there fault..it's there nature...their innocent
