I'd have to say my month was a bit of a bore haha. I had my bday the other week ago now and I was called into work even tho I took the day off for it. But they gave me that Friday off so it was nice having a 3 day weekend. Other than that I've been working on myself. Taking steps into self improvement. And that's been really nice actually so far. It's very relieving. But I did acquire a new book, it's called "The Maneaters of T'savo" by Lt. Col. John Henry Patterson. If you've seen "The Ghost and the Darkness" with Val Kilmer and Micheal Douglas then you'll know what I'm talking about. But the real story is far more fascinating and intriguing to me. John Patterson wasn't a natural hunter, he didn't have a lot of experience from my perspective. He lacked the knowledge of the intricacies of prey/predator Animal habits. Not trying to put the man down but when you look at what happened it all makes sense why he made the decisions he made. Now he did have some real good ideas on how to kill the 2 maneaters but they all mostly failed (I say mostly because he did get em in the end lol). "These lions aren't like lions" is a quote from the film and from the John Patterson himself. Now hindsight is 20/20 but they acted more like serial killers than lions. But they're pattern of killing was soooo random. They'd hit this part of camp then this part. It was never consistent, that's what made it so hard for Patterson to kill them. He'd be in one part of camp and the lions would be in a completely different part of camp. Now the inconsistencies and them being in a completely different place than you anticipated is quite accurate to real hunting. Most prey animals move from place to place and almost never in the same spot as they were the day before IF they know they're being hunted. Animals know when they're being hunted. They smell people, they see people or they survive an attempt on they're lives and that can make them extra cautious. But I think it was the sheer scale of the operation that made it such a pain in the neck for Patterson. Over 7,000 workers were at the T'savo river to help construct the bridge for the railway the British were expanding. The camp was over 3 miles long!! You just can't cover that as a lone hunter. Now eventually Patterson made 2 camps, one by the river and left the larger one near the railway yard. 3,000 workers went with Patterson and 4,000 stayed behind (well... roughly those numbers). But 3,000 is still too much to cover by yourself. This man had the WORST job of all time trying to kill the lions and then build a bridge. My God I've really gone off on a tangent lmao. I'll stop but if your not interested in the book and would prefer a video instead I recommend the YouTuber "Bob Gymlan". He has an awesome black and white 2D illustration all about the events of the T'savo Maneaters. It's an hour long but it's very well made, details and events are clearly presented. Very little hear say on behalf of the narrator. It's all completely derived from John Pattersons book. Maybe I'll link it to you idk. Anyway🤣 it was very nice hearing from you Mrs Audios and have a lovely Sunday!
