 * The Man-Eating Lions of Tsavo **

[] ==Welcome to our computer learning station! While you are here, your goal is to learn more about the lions that terrorized the Railroad workers in Kenya more than 100 years ago beyond what we read about in the Story Works. Why are they so famous? What made them so dangerous? ==

==When you are finished with this station, you will write a letter to a family member telling them about what you’ve learned about these lions. ==
