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.
