Stop destroying the lion's habitat! Oh, I wonder what is wrong with those majestic cats?
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
First, they destroy animals habitat and than they are all very suprised why animals attacking them...
You said it all....Corner a wild animal or corner a human being, the result will be the same.
Only the wild life has been there first....
So people shouldn’t survive. How are they to survive??? Ridiculous
The lions are killing to survive! So why the hell is everybody crying when people do the same?
@@arthurmcnallyzhou5349 We're not exactly endangered. Overpopulated is more like it.
@@arthurmcnallyzhou5349People should stop pumping kids like rabbits and should try to coexist with nature instead if destroying it
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.
were not human we view each by race
Who invaded who's territory !!!! Are humans going to kill all the wild animals ????
Apperently the lions have developed a particularly specific taste for human brains. And are coincidentally becoming more intelligent and clever.
You are what you eat
I don't understand why it always happens in East Africa. We rarely experience this in Southern Africa 😢
@@southernafricanboy4148 It happens mainly in Tanzania; it rarely happens in Kenya.
Oddly enough it should work the opposite, humans are retards
But that would make the lions turn stupid
Sad.....ultimately the lions will pay the price for humans invading their HOME
This is way scarier than Hollywood. Can't imagine that fear of being near such a powerful predator with nothing but a flimsy hut protecting you
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?
No-one told me this on safari in Tanzania!
This was in the past
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? 😢😮
incompetent ,uncaring ,and no foresight
right to the goverment
That was wrong! You went searching for man eating lions, not leopards. It is the lions engaging in this behavior, not every predator.
I don't know why Tanzania is so behind in technology and infrastructure, if it was in south Africa they would have fixed this problem a long time ago! What a shame! 🙀
Do you know when did this happen? Like the exact year?
I don't know what you mean by behind, especially hailing from racist South Africa.
@@zvaddie his heart aint in a bad place judging from his. words he said its a shame
@@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
@@southernafricanboy4148 would you say the sanctions has been the real cause behinde zimbabwe problems
If you live with large predators and live in grass houses thats what happens.
INDEED, SO WHY THE HELL DON'T THE VILLAGERS BUILD STURDIER STRUCTURES?

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.
@@johnmead8437 Nice book you wrote there but none of it disproved anything I just stated....they move around about 4 to 6 hours a day and sleep the rest....it's well known factual data look it up yourself. I also said they move around less then most animals in Africa is also true, they remain in their territories while hunting and sleeping with some limited exceptions. So my original statement still stands
A lions territory can reach to 40 km square area
@@jacksonmuteru Thats pretty small in comparison to any of the herd animals like Wildebeasts, Zebras, etc. which all have far larger ranging territories they roam in the hundreds of square kilometers. So again in comparison Lions have a relatively small area to have to search them out then a Zebra for example and how far they can roam in a single day compared to a lion pride
Agreed! You’re no expert!
-38:48 Donkey: "Lion, I will have the last laugh"
Lions are opportunists.. they see an awkward animal on two legs.. easy prey to them.
THE REAL WEAKNESS OF PEOPLE IS THAT THEY CANNOT RUN VERY FAST COMPARED TO A ZEBRA, FOR EXAMPLE. EVEN USAIN BOLT COULD NOT OUTRUN A LION!😮
leopards or lions,,,,we are putting ourselves above nature and look where it s got us!
may be the Lion didn't like the snoring 😊
They talk about lions but they keep killing leopards…
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. The video was useless as far as helping the people is concerned.
How about Tanzanian government built houses for the villages where the Lions can't reach? To protect the people? 😉😲
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!
Is there attacking because it's easy prey
I never knew they had lions in Fiji, cool
They're just hungry and they're only lions.
YOU SIMPLIFIED IT BEAUTIFULLY! SPIRIT LIONS, MY ASS!
This lions musst be smarter then the ordinary lion.
Poor leopard got sacrificed for nothing
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
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
There are only 15 thousand lions left in the wild..At this rate there will be no more lions in Africa after the next 10 years
How old is this documentary? It looks like it’s from 2010 to 2013
Why can't the villagers sort their problem out?
karen its easy to talk crap from the comfort from the west
go help them
Spoken like a true Karen
River is full of Crocs, too.
Iron like a lion 🦁 in zion .. "come on you lions "
Hunt man eating lions yet they kill a bunch of leopards. Perhaps that stupid snare doesn’t work.
Second one was a cage trap. But true, non-selective.
@@johnmead8437 As the hunter expressly noted.
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!
Another “Lions of Tsavo”
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. Chris B.
I thought the lionesses did most of the hunting.
Not always. When it comes to bigger prey like buffalo, giraffes, hippos, male lions size and great power is really needed.
@@jancyvargheese5351GOOD POINT! I HAVE HEARD THIS WRONG INFORMATION FOR HALF A CENTURY! MANY WOMEN ALWAYS LOVE THIS STORY, THAT FEMALE LIONS ARE THE REAL HUNTERS, AND MALE LIONS JUST STEAL THE FEMALES' CATCH!
I see a lot of....I dont know...mistakes. Shouldn't have killed the leopards. Seems like there could have been more scientific ways to find the lions.
Lions killing people are a protected species ? Protected my ... .
Hadas Kushnirs hair is beautiful 🥰 color too❤
*Looks at thumbnail...
*Looks at video title...
Yo, I'm fairly certain that's a leopard.
And a bit pissed me off they kill a leopard but they didn't kill a hyena wen they to can and will kill ppl like wtf
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.
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.
Money is worth more than human life. Damn shame
Dairen Simpson looks like a modern day Wyatt Earp 👍
Plays right into the book of revelation.
i live near singida and ive never heard of this, and somehow doubt a lot of this story
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
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.
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 moved into their habitat"? We homo-sapiens have been in Africa a loooong time mate.
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.
so?😢😮
Humans have lived with animals for a long time. Our ancestors have lived with them for a million years
@@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.
Lion experts should be there in Africa….
There is a book about the man eaters of Tsavo in East Africa . They killed and ate over 100 people !
A movie was made about the incident calked the ghost and the darkness.
❗️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!!
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They not allowed to have guns for protection it don't make sense
Ghosts in the Darkness was a true story, movie isn't bad.
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.
Doesn't make a difference that it was a lion
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!😢
We r so dam easy to catch and kill and the lions have fugued that out
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.
Everybody back. No one moves … laughing…
poor lepords😔😢
Poor humans
Yeah, that leopard was about to eat someone, what a joke.
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!

Save the Cows & Pigs 😢 🐖🐄🐖🐃🐖
900 attacks in Tanzania since 1990 and 600 dead/eaten. I wonder how many lions have been killed by human activity in the same period in that country. Over 100,000 people in the USA died of drug overdose in 2022. Unlike lions, drug use does not bring in much tourist money.
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.
The Africans should be experts but they bring in a foreigner?
The lions need there own ranges and dignity .

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.

It isn't a matter of not knowing. Quit dismissing your fellow mankind as stupid or inept.
These are people who have lived alongside lions always. It is a matter of living on the verge of existence. You can only build with what you have or can attain.

yea lions learn to eat people now because in the past when lions killed a person a bunch of the killed persons friends and hunters would hunt the lions down and kill them nowadays the people are prevented from that. so lions are not punished for eating humans. i hear in massai land the lions are afraid and avoid humans because the promptly get hunted hazed and killed for killing human.
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.

Tanzania hired a incompetent hunter. That guy was acting like he knew what he was doing, while he really did not! They shot that leopard like 4 times.
