I live in South Africa and anyone who has talked with game rangers has probably heard how lions very rarely prey on humans, but once they’ve done it once, they’ll tend to do it again and again. Typically victims are people illegally crossing international borders within the large Kruger National Park and the lions who attack them tend to be old solitary males who are starting to get too weak to hunt game and opportunistically try a human they happen across. They find it works and feeds them so they do it repeatedly. So if game rangers find a human killed by a lion, they always track the lion down to kill it so as to prevent more deaths of humans.
