Kenya is trying to recover the remains of two infamous lions which killed 140 railway workers in the 19th Century.

They are the legendary man-eaters of Tsavo who caused havoc among the Indian labourers who built the railway line between Mombasa and Lake Victoria.

The lions' skulls and hides are housed at a museum in the US city of Chicago.
