The natives and lions are very similar in their tastes in the selection of tit-bits: an eland may be seen disemboweled by a lion so completely that he scarcely seems cut up at all.

The bowels and fatty parts form a full meal for even the largest lion.

The jackal comes sniffing about, and sometimes suffers for his temerity by a stroke from the lion's paw laying him dead.

When gorged, the lion falls fast asleep, and is then easily dispatched.

Hunting a lion with dogs involves very little danger as compared with hunting the Indian tiger, because the dogs bring him out of cover and make him stand at bay, giving the hunter plenty of time for a good deliberate shot.
Where game is abundant, there you may expect lions in proportionately large numbers.
