For example, the famous man-eating lions of Tsavo that killed  nearly 30 people in 1898 were found to have broken teeth and jaws. But,  as reported by <em>New Scientist<\/em> last week, zoologist Bruce Patterson of the  Field Museum in Chicago has found evidence contradicting that theory.  After examining the teeth and jaws of 23 &#8220;problem lions&#8221; killed by  rangers in Kenya, he found that less than a quarter had damaged teeth &#8212;  and most were healthy males under 5 years old. Patterson said young  lions are leaving park boundaries searching for territory, and the  growing (doubtless delicious) human population may be too much for them  to resist. <\/span><\/p>\n<h6><em>This news brief appeared in the Random Data column of the <\/em>Boston Globe&#8217;s<em> Health\/Science section on 2\/25\/2003.<\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was long thought that healthy lions posed relatively little threat to people: Only sick or injured animals, unable to catch and kill their usual fast-moving prey, would attack slower humans.
