    What about the lions The Ghost and The Darkness? Your saying a tooth ache caused them to kill so many men?

      Yeah, it’s listed on their wiki as a possible reason.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsavo_Man-Eaters

      Suffocating a struggling zebra requires a healthy song jaw and teeth. One wrong tooth starts to hurt and suddenly the lion can’t hunt large prey anymore. Humans are very easy to kill relative to usual lion prey, so we’re the blended ham and peas at the nursing home.
