    It was the winter of 1902; South African park ranger Harry Wolhuter was on horseback, patrolling the area for poachers at Kruger National Park. Little did he know, he was also being stalked. Out of nowhere, two huge male lions pounced on Harry's horse, knocking the man to the ground. The horse ran off, leaving Harry to fend for himself. One of the lions lunged at him - piercing deep into his flesh and bones - and began to drag him far into the jungle to finish him off. Harry's only hope for survival was the small sheath he carried on his right hip, and he could not reach it easily. With a few quick stabs to the massive beast's chest, he waited and prayed for the best. Miraculously, after spending hours in a tree - drifting in and out of consciousness - with only his terrier standing between him and the second lion, he survived the attack and lived to tell his story. But others have not been so lucky at Kruger National Park. Today, Mozambican refugees are being eaten alive in great numbers as they attempt to walk the Kruger, yet no one seems to know about these massacres, and nothing is being done to stop them. More lion attacks have been documented in the past year than ever before. And so begins the investigative journey of journalist Robert Frump. In July of 2002, his plane touched down on the airfields west of Kruger, and what he discovered was beyond belief. The Man-Eaters of Edenuncovers the simple truth, that more people are eaten by lions today, than ever before. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Skinner.

    "Help!" Dakota raced down the long corridor of the pound. Six large dogs bounded after the fleeing 18-year-old woman, hunting her like she was a frightened doe. If she could only get to the door, then she'd be safe. The dogs were close behind her, she could tell by their claws clicking on the cold floor, getting closer and closer. Their hot breath brushed against her smooth legs. No! Excerpt: "Help!" Dakota raced down the long corridor of the pound. Six large dogs bounded after the fleeing 18-year-old woman, hunting her like she was a frightened doe. If she could only get to the door, then she'd be safe. The dogs were close behind her, she could tell by their claws clicking on the cold floor, getting closer and closer. Their hot breath brushed against her smooth legs. No! Dakota pushed her complaining, burning legs faster. The door was within a few feet and she could taste her freedom. Suddenly, just as she reached for the handle, there was a sharp pain which streaked through her leg, toppling her to the floor. The air rushed from her lungs as all six dogs pounced on her. She screamed as terror coursed through her. They ripped her clothes off. Dakota couldn't escape now and she curled up in a fetal position. What did they want? She was too scared to think. "What should we do to her?" Killer, the Doberman, growled, gazing at the leader. "We are going to have fun with her!" Kahn, the Akita, barked a laugh. "Yeah!" The rest of the pack barked, wagging their tails. "Brutus. Demon. Fangs. Spider. Killer." Kahn called out their names. They snapped to attention. Brutus, the large Rottweiler, grabbed one of her arms. Demon, the Pit Bull, grabbed the other. Fangs, the big German Shepherd, and Spider the tall Great Dane grabbed her legs. "Drag her to the center of the hallway. Our prey shouldn't escape." Kahn smiled. "Drop her." Dakota looked up, her eyes so wide she thought they'd pop out and roll down the long corridor. Staring at the large dogs glaring hungrily at her, she shivered, knowing she was their prey, to do with as they wished. They ran their tongues over their lips as a different sort of hunger filled them, she knew not what it was. Why had they dropped her? She sprang to her feet as fear overtook her.
