According to legend, the infamous Tsavo man-eating lions dined on 135 people near a Kenyan labor camp prior to their capture in 1898.The results suggest that the lions hunted together but didn't always share food.

This is the basis of the movie, named after the lions, "The Ghost and the Darkness". The movie protrays the civil engineer dealing with the beasts, except there was no hired hunter brought in, the engineer killed the lions on his own.
