Killed by rifle. No record of which model. He had several. -Ken Keisel

need information if Patterson killed lions with rifle or shotgun. and which model. -FX_Shadowmaster

[edit] Confirmed number of kills?

Most records state around 140, but they should be viewed with suspicion. There was a lot of boasting and exaggeration in those days. Patterson had every reason to exaggerate the totals. If the lions were killing for food alone then these numbers are probably four times the real total. -Ken Keisel

Following the first external link, I found a figure of a mere 28. However, the second one put it at 128. Most web search results gave figures between 130 and 140, so the latter seems to be correct. Does anyone know better? --Anshelm '77 00:41, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Didn't these lions keep the heads of the men they killed in their cave? --69.67.229.90 05:00, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
