Devoured in Fifteen hours |
This skeleton is all that remains of a healthy Cape Buffalo that was literally Devoured in 15 Hours. Successions of hungry animals are fed by a lion kill. After the lions the hyenas feed, they are followed by the jackals and the vultures. Only tiny bits are left for the yellow tailed kites pictured. Kwara, Botswana. | |
