The lions devoured the calves that we were breeding and we've been eagerly waiting 9 months to see the outcome, Agaba, a scientist at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), tells my colleague Nick and I. A few months ago they also got in and killed 40 sheep. They killed all 40? Agaba chuckles no the sheep freaked out and stampeded each other. It must have been a relatively bountiful and easy smorgasbord. This usually only occurs during 'the migration'.
