Do lions often become man eaters?

Although people have been attacked and killed and often devoured by lions, mann eating has never posed a serious problem in the Kruger Park. A number of people fleeing the civil war in Mozambique during the 1970s and 1980s, and crossing through the Kruger Park, were killed by lions, but these were not normal circumstances. It is considered that, once a lion kills a human, the lion loses its instinctive fear of humans and may kill a human again should the opportunity arise.
