Suspected rhino poacher killed by elephant, then eaten by lions
A suspected rhino poacher met a gruesome end when he was trampled to death by an elephant before being eaten by a pride of lions.
The man's family alerted Don English, the Skukuza regional ranger, after the surviving poachers told them what had happened. "Indications found at the scene suggested that a pride of lions had devoured the remains leaving only a human skull and a pair of pants. Skukuza police were notified immediately and are currently busy with further investigations into the incident," the park said in a statement.
Glenn Phillips, the managing executive of KNP, said: “Entering the Kruger illegally and on foot is not wise as it holds very many dangers and this incident is clear evidence of that. It was very sad to see the daughters of the deceased man mourning the loss of their father, and worse still, only being able to recover very little of his remains.”
