Cultural Influence
Several publications about and studies of the man-eating lions of Tsavo have been inspired by Patterson’s account. Related books include:
- The Lions of Tsavo: Exploring the Legacy of Africa's Notorious Man-Eaters by Bruce Patterson.
- Ghosts of Tsavo: Stalking the Mystery Lions of East Africa by Phillip Caputo
The book has been adapted to film three times: a monochrome, British film of the 1950s, a 1952 3-D film titled Bwana Devil, and a 1996 color version called The Ghost and the Darkness, where Val Kilmer played the daring engineer who hunts down the lions of Tsavo.

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or influence:
“The only justification for repressive institutions is material and cultural deficit. But such institutions, at certain stages of history, perpetuate and produce such a deficit, and even threaten human survival.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“The adolescent does not develop her identity and individuality by moving outside her family. She is not triggered by some magic unconscious dynamic whereby she rejects her family in favour of her peers or of a larger society.... She continues to develop in relation to her parents. Her mother continues to have more influence over her than either her father or her friends.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
