We did as we were told, and the lions ran off into the elephant grass. But by approaching the light-maned dummy first, the lions had sup ported Peyton and Craig's earlier observations. They could not have been more delighted. Craig had to return to Tanzania the next morning, taking with him the new information the expedition had gleaned about Tsavo's maneless lions. Many mysteries remain: Before he left, Craig told me it would take several more years of research to bring the lions of Tsavo out of the shadows of legend and into the light of scientific knowledge. I'm not entirely sure that will be a good thing. I'm one of those people Dennis King doesn't care for, reluctant to sur render the myth. I cling to the image Hal, roaring in the African night, beauti ful in some terrible way, incarnations of all that's left in our world of the wild and the unknown.
