Indians For Guns

shooter can u share the link on Man Eaters of Tsavo.

sure thing hellfire.
I would also like to add that those who saw the movie would remember the last by the narrator sayin that one can still see the fire in the eyes of the ghost and the darkness and they still fill one with fear etc etc. but i would like to mention that nothing could be further from the truth as they look quite timid really.
this is firstly because they are maneless male lions. secondly, the trophies were of the rug type originally ( when with col val kilmer.)
but after his death, eventually when they were acquired by the chicago natural history museum, they were made into full mounts so the body language/pose is not quite aggressive.
you can see them in the natural history museum chicago website.

for those who would likr to read the original ghost and the darkness,
