Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What year is it at the beginning of the movie?

Answer: 1898

2. Beaumont hires John Patterson to build a bridge across what river in Africa?

Answer: Tsavo

'Savo means a place of slaughter...'

3. Who is killed by the lions first?

Answer: Mehina

Mehina was the strongest man in the camp, the lion drug him out of the tent. Next came the nameless guy and then poor Angus. Abdullah, who cracks me up, was never killed.

4. What reason does Remington give for why he hunts?

Answer: because he has a gift

5. Patterson builds a trap in a boxcar. How many men with guns are in there to shoot the lion?

Answer: three

And none of them even wounded the lion! 'I should've given you rocks not rifles!'

6. When did all the worker's leave?

Answer: after the lions attacked the hospital

They threatened to leave several times (who can blame them?) but the massacre in the new hospital was the last straw.

7. About how many people did Remington figure were killed by the lions?

Answer: 100

This question was originally how many people were killed by the lions, do you know? They say 130 in the making of the movie on HBO. Remington says they've killed '100, maybe more.' The real John Patterson wrote a book (you can buy it from the museum) and he says 130.

8. When Patterson builds that stand in the clearing, what animal do they use to lure the lions?

Answer: babboon

Lions hate the sound they make.

9. Who kills the first of the two lions?

Answer: Remington

Patterson shot the first lion in the movie. 'One shot!' But out of the ghost and the darkness, Patterson wounds it and then Remington shoots it as it leaps down toward them from some rocks.

10. Where are the lions today?

Answer: Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois

If I ever get to Chicago I'll be sure to stop in to see them.
