  • I read that usually man-eater lions were bolder than man-eater tigers. Lion can attack men in villages while tigers do that rather rarely. However, among man-eater big cats tigers rule.

  • Im watching this and showed this to my friend because she doesn't believe that lions eat humans.

  • -They're beautiful, and already endangered so one day when there's none left people will think "woops!" then it will be too late to bring them back. People are more stupid then the animals themself, of course if you dont pack up and migrate the people to non-lion territory, you'll become prey & the numbers will increase of people getting eaten. People are overpopulating too. Why? Stupidity =.= and selfishness. Thats why more and more amazing animals are becoming extinct.

  • Well, if you choose to risk your life by remaining to live in a lion's habitat, that's your problem if you get eaten.. it's nature. You don't see people going out saving the zebras or the antelope they eat, do you? The lions dont think the humans are anymore special than their other prey. People need to move, or instead of killing the poor creatures they should ship them to madagascar to a place where no one lives or something-

  • do you like dramatizations?

  • human lion conflict expert ??? WTF??

    I am mouse human conflict expert then.

  • he just ran away :/ nice friend

  • Lions have been eating humans for eons! Lol! That shit aint new!

  • why do people need to tell everyone who sent them to a video?

  • I thought this was HOT MAN EATER CHICK

  • haha justin beiber is good bait! lions would love him very2x much!

  • lions , you should find nazis, racists, gangs, communists, terrorists, liberals, hippies and justin bieber very tasty

  • Why don't lions eat stupid people?

  • Good Lions, just a billion or two left to go! Keep up the good work!

  • they always bring up the global warming shit, omfg

  • Just remember, you don't need to be faster than the lion, you just need to be faster than whoever is with you.

  • These are negro eating lions.

  • @Raellz

    If you would calm down, you would realize my question was whether or not the bear was attacking YOU, which you didn't directly answer. You just described how they do fake charges at times (which I knew) and about scaring away an "interested" bear (which I also knew). Haven't watched a disney film in awhile and might not be that much younger than you, actually.

    I'm also a male, by the way.

  • @Raellz

    I'll take that as a no. Enjoy yourself, sir.

  • @Raellz

    Was the bear attacking you or just close by? And you can't tell me you weren't scared. Also, predators risk injury all the time when they hunt or fight. That's pretty inescapable. They just try and minimize the risk of injury by avoiding unnecessary confrontation.

  • @Raellz

    Please, you'd be just as scarred as these people were. You won't outrun it, but you won't scare something almost 3 times your size by running at it, either.

  • Everything is fair game in this world.

  • Some of these stories are sad but they're in lion territory the risk was there from the beginning,

  • The Ghost & The Darkness

  • learn karate u can kill lion with ur bare hand.

  • thats why i have a gun...

  • Man-Eating Lions? you mean lions that are doing what they need to do to survive

  • Simba means Lion in Swahili, I just learned that because of this video when he said Simba ahahaha

  • What the fuck? Did I just cross into the twilight zone here? Why are people surprised that lions eating humans? It is a shame that innocent people die but is it not a shame that beautiful animals are hunted so much that they nearly go extinct?

  • I've recently been reading Peter Capstick's "Death In The Long Grass" (1977), and as he observed back then, this is really nothing new. Healthy big cats, including whole prides have turned to man eating for reasons that include weather patterns (dry season = less prey), and humans being easier to catch.

  • ok if you live in Africa, don't sleep out side, or at least build a good shelter maybe with a door of some sort. simple as that.

  • More then 90% of lions have been killed since from 1900's to 2010 from 200,000 to only about 2,000 now

  • i think the piont maybe,this is new demographics for lions,we should not be there,loss of habitat,a lion is a lion,and we are food,easy,simple.maybe we should not be there, cest la vie

  • @lorenrb Yes there is you stupid whore!! Global warming is an obvious fact and we DO have proof that it exists!!! Go back to your trailer park you inbred hic!!!

  • The number of lions killed by people is far greater than the converse. Lions are endangered in Africa, down to around 20,000 from 500,000 back in the 1950s; and much more before that. It's really hard to feel sorry for a species that wreaks so much havoc on others.

  • @Antithropocentric -- Don't know where you got your facts, but lions are NOT an endangered species in Africa, they are listed as "vulnerable" - this is not due to hunting but to rabies. The hunting of lions and other animals is very heavily regulated. Everyone stating otherwise needs to do their research.

  • That guy let his friend being eaten and they go around in fucking africa without KNIFES!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????­? i wouldnt go anywhere without a michette or some kind of a weapon at least

  • That's scary shit.

  • also funny how they blamed it on global warming at the end lololol

    no actual evidence as usual

  • guns people! if there's a lion trying to fuck you up, shoot it. then his buddies watching will know not to fuck with humans.

  • @lorenrb -- The average person in Africa either cannot afford a gun, or are not allowed to possess them. At any rate you wouldn't want anything smaller than a .357 H&H (.416 and bigger is better) to take out a lion.

    Have you ever shot a lion? Its not as easy as you think, and if you don't get a 1-shot kill, it'll be hopped up on adrenaline, with one thought, killing you....as for their buddies, sometimes one or two watching might join the attack!

  • edited and misleading. fuck tv

  • wtf is a man eating lion ? all lions are fucking man eating, fuck...lions will eat anything that moves....

  • THUMBS UP if Joe sent you here!

  • @CredulousCreature No I am not a dog that gets sent places

  • Just kill those fucking lions. It's easy from a helicopter...sorry lions you kill us we'll kill you. Thank you Joe Rogan.

  • why would lions need to learn techniques to hunt down humans? were probably the slowest prey they could ever get. lions dont need to do anything else than just start eating us, no technique necessary.

  • @Finq08 Antelope don't have pretty guns like we do. A technique could be as simple as avoid the big black dude with the long stick. The tiny girl is way juicier.

  • @feedfuck well ok, i didnt think that far.^^

  • Well why not, we can't run that fast, have no natural defence to fight back and are pretty squishy, If I was a lion it would be a no brainer!

  • @CougarRand you would get shot in the face and turned into a coat very quickly then.

  • maybe they should attack a pride, and fry 1 up in front of them, then the pride might realize , and then agree to co exist? Just throwing it out there

  • "Human Lion Conflict Expert"? If I knew we could just go around making up job titles I would have been an "international Super Model Fucker" years ago!

  • We are just another animal to Lions and Lions are just another animal to us. And we have nukes.

  • if they attack us they will get extinct, that's just a human fact.

  • Joe Rogan FTW!

  • I think its fair game to me. Lol.. You snooze you lose.. Humans kill animals so why can't they attack us? Some people deserve it, after all our race is disgusting we put these animals through hell

  • "adult lions may now be teaching their young techniques and tactics for hunting humans."

    FAIL

    he makes it sound like they're teaching themselves how to hunt humans as special prey. we're just another animal to them. like fabregas said up there, we're just prey to them. why wouldn't they go after us? why are we so special that they would avoid killing us? they don't. if they have the chance, and they see the opportunity for food, and it happens to be a human, no shit, they're gonna kill you.

  • @morpher910 agreed.*

    it is in their nature to teach their young to hunt, not just human in particular - what a stupid statement..!!

  • i wish these experts stop acting as if its with in the last 20 years lions attack man..my god its propably been going on there for thousands of years that lions pray also on man.........

  • @VK4LA It's unlikely. People, even with primitive tools, can whip out lions. We are the most dangerous animal.

  • Greatest Asian women **busizz4me.info**

  • Man eating beast? There natural born killers

  • take spear not a gun and fuck the government

    kill every lion who came to you

  • Comment removed

  • hope they eat every singe one of us. We deserve that and much worse

  • Adrenaline Rush

  • Meals on wheels! LOL

  • @2tame4fame LOL, that's terrible but funny

  • @ishigum I know, right?

  • carnivores or whatever like lions and tigers avoid human contacts but if you dare walk or whatever you call that like trespass in someones territory like lions territory you are dead meat .

  • @angelic510 naimbgk

  • You know if you want to guard your field from wild pigs.... why not build a gun tower.... wtf stupid people.

  • sorry

  • Climate? Maybe we just taste good?

  • Looks like a problem... Good thing I live in Australia... All I have to worry about are the Sharks, Snakes, Spiders and Man Eating Kangaroos.

  • Comment removed

  • i think africans rule for not just wiping all of the lions out... i mean they are fucking dangerous.... im from germany and once a brown bear made it to bavaria ... 5 days later they shot him cause they were so scared ...

  • DAMN NATURE! YOU SCARY!!

  • Better to have hungry lions chasing you than death chanting Muslims.

  • the ghost and the darkness for real.

  • @DWBates2684 Those I believe were the man eaters of Tsavo.

  • LMAO, I was about to make a stupid joke "hey i know what, let's blame it on global warming!"... and they actually did, ROFL

    naitonal geographic, you are a bunch of morons

  • The vengance of Nature are starting

  • about time lions got sum payback on humans !! weve killed thousands of them its payback time ahhaa!!

  • @f3possessed 100% agreed!!!!! payback is a bitch isn't it?

  • if a lion or a pride turns man eater whatever the reason there should not be a discussion. kill em

  • oh come on. you people can be nice about this although it is the internet. but aside from that, i agree that the climate is not the reason people are being attacked by the lions.

  • I don't get it, humans don't have a special status, a noble status, we're animals, in the wilderness with the lions, we're prey, simple as that. Lions come near us, we're food to them. The only reason they don't attack is because we stay apart. People shouldn't be so surprised, like ''Oh, why are they attacking us? We're humans!!! Don't eat humans!!''.

  • @fabregas360 Yes I agree and I hate it when people say that Lions have started eating humans because of habitat destruction and such, but Human is not a natural prey of Lions. In other words they are saying that a lion would not attack a human if it sees it. This is bullshit, Lions would attack anything that has meat if they are hungry!

  • no they wouldn't. most lions would not attack humans. know before spreading idiocracy

  • @tjohn1986 well if you stay away, yes...but if go near them, you are dinner!

  • A fabregas360

    it's not natural prey, that's the argument, that it might be habitat destruction.

    PersonOfBook Do you have any scientific research that shows that a lion attacks anything with meat? Seeing as how zoologists have research that says they NORMALLY don't and how you don't, I'll side with the scientific research.

  • I'm aware of that, I doubt I implied in my post that I wasn't, no need to point it out.

  • @fabregas360 Lions are normally naturally afraid of people, they kinda learned that the loud bang we make doesn't normally end well.

  • @fabregas360

    We are not animals

  • @fabregas360 Agreed, so now the question is, ok if we're fair game then that means we need to kill the lions? I'm just trying to figure our where your stance on this is. If we have no special or elevated status, like any other animal, then would you be fine with wiping out a population that would threaten us? Animal colonies do this constantly after all. Aren't we just a big colony?

  • @fabregas360 Someone needs to make a parody of this dressed in zebra and wildebeest costumes haha they go through this daily

  • @fabregas360

    I believe they usually avoid humans, so it's not as simple as "lion + human = lion eat human." If they hunted us like they hunted deers, then they'd be nobody left living in those areas with lions. So if those people have been walking in lion territory for years without getting attacked, then I think "Why are they attacking us? We're humans!!! Don't eat humans!" might actually be a reasonable question.

  • @fabregas360 i agree, but if humans started eating lions i reckon the lions would be pretty worried too

  • The age of wild animals roaming freely on 100th km2 of land is history. Humans have won the evolutionary battle and are entitled to own the world. Thus, wild animals should be decimated and held in confined Animal Parks and zoological gardens. End of the problem. Who cares, if we now only see the Tasmanian Tiger on photos? I don't mind to see tigers, lions, hyenas, crocks etc. only in historic documentary.... just the same as we see the dinosaurs and mammoth etc.

  • ur a idiot

  • Actualy, he is not wrong nor right, humans have not need for such dangerous animal that feed on humans, however is the canivor do not eat their prey , those will finish our vegetation and that's where he is wrong.

  • Herbivore is what i meant by prey, and it's carnivore, ALSO i find really irony the fact that you call him an idiot, when you are not even using the right grammar. an idiot*

  • A tourist accompanied a lion hunter. The hunter shot at a lion several times, but missed and the lion kept getting closer. When he ran out of bullets he said to the tourist: "I have no more bullets. now we have to run away!" The tourist asked: "Why I have to ran away... I didn't shoot at him?"

  • especially when they leave there bushed and come into my territory? kill them off. i will not lose a wife or a child to dome stupid conservationist pride.

  • id always scoffed at the idea of stupid "experts" saying lions, sharks, tigers, etc, never attack humans on purpose. you think an animal has special respect for humans? an animal is an animal. it sees only edible and non edible. period. ok conservation is good and all, but where it conflict with human lives, and fellow people become hapless preys, i say kill all the frigging things off. lions, snakes, spiders, tigers, sharks, i dont care.

  • fuck the animal world if it was my country and lions were hunnting my ppl i would destroy all lions i dont care about the fucking lions

  • thats all happening because bitches like her are interfering in the natural behavior of the animal world...

  • odeio leoes

  • Humans prob arent good .. we have too much bone

  • Guy eaten by lion - You can outrun a lion on a bike

    Musafizi - I dont have to outrun the lion, just outrun you.

  • I'm just imagining, strolling down the road with my friend; minding our business and the beast comes ouf no where and starts chasing us! Holy Moly! I'd be riding that bike faster than a motorcycle. I'd be pissin on my pants, takin massive poops and pedalin my ass off! It doesn't have to be faster than the lion, but faster than my friend! Wooooo Weee!

  • dumb old bitch palin thinks africa is acountry

  • so sad =(

  • Not really, many people think that Africa is over-populated with Africans...

  • @ teagarden8650 im assuming you're one of them

  • One should never assume...

  • Comment removed

  • ur a heartless pig :|

  • How usless is the investigation of lions eating people, who sleep outside in the grass, in lion territory...? How ass backwards is that? fix all the poverty so they dont have to live like prehistoric man... oh wait nobody cares to watch that on tv, wont be enough veiwers to see all the advertisment to buy "stuff." Nor does a government see the value in third world life.

  • he looked like running meat! lol no offense.. you on a bike, you look like food.. the faster you go, the more you're acting like a prey. but who knows.

  • yea like if i was the lian it would look like a cake i like cake so if the human was a cake i would go faster and faster and eat the cake or human lol its true

  • lol :P good one!

  • I love it when nature gets even.

  • only a sick fuck would say some dumb insensitive shit like that, i wonder what the fuck you would say if it were someone in your family you stupid son of a bitch

  • Somalis dealt with their lions bad enough, they drove them to their extinction. I can put the whole country as having less than 100lions.

    Gun is not the way, preserving and helping them is the answer.

  • You're ancestors didn't think they were filthy especially being that they were gettin that black penor and puntang. You want it too.

  • damn..yall r racists

  • Ultimately, humans have brought this upon themselves

  • How is that?

  • Well, since humans like to destroy their surroundings, lion habitats are not off the list. Hungary and pissed off at being forced out of their home (if lions can put thoughts into human-understandable words), they lumber out with an air frustration of a ex-home owner unable to pay the mortgage. Suddenly some slow-moving creatures we know as Homo sapiens come into view, um... look tasty, thought the lions. Well, your imagination can probably carry out the rest of the scenario for you.

  • @frankystein12 ok you said a lot and I still don't know what you're trying to say.

  • LOL @ deez :))

  • I am blessed that I was not born in Tanzania ..

  • poor lions forced to eat shit

  • How dare you idiots care and bring up about the color of their skin when they are all the same dna as all of us and the same species being eaten alive by the beasts. What the hell? How close minded could you be, you should have been the one eaten by the lions, stupid neonazi fucks.

  • @nazbites it is not thats he is narrow minded, it's cause he aint got brain

  • ur freakin racist

  • Anyone who travells anywhere in Lion Country without a high powered rifle is a dumb ass.

  • @STHFGDBY not to sound racist or insensitive, but the ppl in these stories coming out of Africa are f***ing retarded. I remember seeing a story on TV where a guy threw rocks at a croc to scare it away and thought it was safe to go in the water, where he was promptly eaten. Here I thought ppl from that part of the world were smarter than Americans.

  • @STHFGDBY Tell that to the Masai, who can kill a lion one on one with a simple spear and shield. If a lion kill a Masai cattle, they usually track it down and slay the lion. Masai = terror of the lions.

  • @TemplarX2 keep up asshole, that was 11 months ago..

  • @STHFGDBY 11 months ago your mom coped a cock up her cunt from the local hobo and now you have an half brother.

  • @TemplarX2 Well at least unlike you I was born to a human and not a Monkey

  • @STHFGDBY Monkey? Close enough to a human. Your daddy is a mud pig and your mommy a red-ass baboon.

  • @STHFGDBY Yeah cuz you'd totally know, the Irish are very accustomed to dealing with lions.

  • @botchalism Well I don't know what Lions have to do with the Irish so maybe you'll explain that one to me, Either way I have received 23 thumbs up and how many have you got, m let me see, Yup a big fat zero. Take the hint and dig a hole and climb into it, you should be good at doing that anyway. If you want to go down the road of Insulting my country and identity I assure I have enough material to do the same to you so drop it.

  • @STHFGDBY Lol, exactly...Irish don't know jackshit about lion country or what to do when traveling through lion areas. Bragging about thumbs up? Wow. That's kinda like winning the special olympics, no one fucking cares...

  • @botchalism Well it's obvious nobody gives a shit what you think, let me guess, your parents divorced when you were two, no supprise there seeing that you were the result of their 4 minutes of sex. So now you're slagging off special needs children, You must be a sad bastard living a sad life, I tell you what my American dumbass, why don't you play with your neighbours cat seen as thats the only pussy you'll ever see or feel.

  • @STHFGDBY I didn't know children compete in the special olympics, but I guess you'd be the expert on that. As if third world country villagers can even afford high powered rifles, retard. Well it looks like your last response has no thumbs ups, guess you'd better start digging that hole you big fat zero.

  • @botchalism You don't know too much about anything do you? Heres your first lesson, anybody under the age of 18 is considered a child and some compete at the age of 16, some like yourself have an impaired mentality. And your the hole digger asshole so you do the digging around here. Still no thumbs up for you, dear oh dear what a loser you are, What grade are you in in loser school.?

  • @STHFGDBY Why would I know the age requirements of the special olympics? That's not exactly common knowledge, so I guess you really are an aspiring competitor, congrats! I can see why you place so much emphasis on others approval, being a special boy like yourself everyone around you is always encouraging, giving you high fives, pats on the back, stickers, and graham crackers. Who am I to rain on your parade? Good luck on your synchronized swimming event, try not to drown ok?

  • @botchalism Listen now, Go away, I've better things to do than play a marathon word game with you, Don't bother responding to this , I won't read it I will simply delete it so be a good person now and go bother someone your own age, a 12 year old.

  • @STHFGDBY Oh no your 23 thumbs up dropped by one to 22! Your self-worth must be in the toilet, your world must be crumbling down around you! Here's a medal that'll cheer you up, it's for being the number one retar...I mean special boy in the world!

  • @botchalism oh no, 21 ... lolool

  • Rahmstein,

    what is ur pronlem ??what u meen about nigger ?? what is negger ?? i am waiting 4 ur replay!

  • Rahmstein,

    was ist dein problem?? niggers ??? weisst du was es heisst ?? ich will noch normal sein also ich warte auf dein antwort dann sehen wir uns weiter ...

  • lions are actually dogs

  • survival of the fittest, just kill all the lions. If the lions want to fight back they better evol and develop guns.

  • as we are african ppl we love lions, and animal, so we dont see this as a big issue...some times lion can be aggressive but not every time coz lions are afraid of us, we can catch them by our hands and teach them lesson but not in gun! god bless african nature!

  • damn nature u scary

  • that upset me that about his family

  • lol i hope lions eat them all, bring on the floods

  • that's why i hate carnivour animals specially lions and crocodiles.

  • its nature deal with it

  • You know what the solution for this? Guns. That's right. Guns. A few guns (don't forget the bullets of course) and less than 1 month ,there will be no more 'man-eating-lions'

  • you have have to find em first.

  • to be honest u are retarded. or maybe not if ur comment means u want to kill lions ur gonna fuck up foodchain or foodweb or whatever... my teacher taught me :]

  • sorry to say, but lions deserve to live as much as any of these villagers..guns is a solution? tell that to the US, where innocent people get shot daily for no reason

  • These lions need to learn the fear of man. Guns will teach them the fear of man. Then they can both live peacefully together.

  • loins are having anti humans campains there turning racist we have to have a animal war

  • kuruptzZz you are full of shit.

    who filled your head with these things?

  • omg his whole family. Imagen that, what could you possible do? damn

  • poor guy

  • Like all predators lions are opportunists.

    Normally their instincts tells them not to attack humans, because they know that this will result in fatal retalliation; orca's and wolves have learned the same lesson.

    But circumstances can cause these formidable predators to diverse from this normal behaviour as this vid shows.
