Question

The book Man-Eaters of Tsavo annoys some scientists because:

• A. it revealed that Tsavo lions are ferocious
• B. Patterson made a helluva lot of money from the book by sensationalism.
• C. it perpetuated the bad name Tsavo lions had.
• D. it narrated how two male Tsavo lions were killed.

Answer 1

The correct option is C it perpetuated the bad name Tsavo lions had.

Option (c)

The answer is (c) as the real reason behind the scientists’ annoyance is that they consider the Tsavo lions to be no more man-eaters than lions elsewhere, but the book has reinforced the view that they are more aggressive.
