Relatedly, here's the case of the two "Tsavo Man-Eater" lions: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsavo_Man-Eaters https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsavo_Man-Eaters It's estimated the pair killed 28-31 humans during a 9-month span in 1898. Several theories suggest that the lions became accustomed to humans by first eating the remains of the deceased before moving on to full out attacks on the living. Amazingly, recent research compared the Δ13C and Nitrogen-15 isotopic signature of the lions with other references and mostly confirmed the above estimate for the number of humans consumed.
