– We do not believe that the lions have attacked the person who died in the area. But the upcoming autopsy of the remains of the human body will make us much wiser about the case. We believe that the lions have eaten of the corpse, after the death of the person who died in the area, explains the spokesman for the Naturmyndigheden in the area, Mark Hart, who also revealed that they found the remains of human flesh in bjergløvernes stool.

The fact that bjergløverne have eaten and tasted the flesh of men, makes them potentially very dangerous. It was also the reason why they were shot.
– Bjergløver is very rarely ådselsædere, And their abnormal behavior makes it more likely that they will also in the future will be able to find to attack people. The lions showed no fear in the face of the cops that were sent out to the crime scene, tells Naturmyndigheden in a statement.
The three lions, who was shot and killed by the authorities, was a løvemor, and her two pubescent løveunger.
There are living approx. between 2000 and 2700 bjergløver in the state of Arizona.
It is rare that bjergløver attacking people. But it came to pass, however, last year in the neighboring state of Colorado, where a young level of fitness-runner was attacked by a bjergløve. He survived the violent attack by strangling the lion.
