Hyenas feast on young elephant outside Skukuza Golf Course Posted by David Henning on 10 August 2021 A recent sighting near the entrance to the Skukuza Golf Club in the Kruger National park on 7 August 2021, revealed a clan of hyenas feasting on an elephant corpse. The elephant has later moved away from the entrance, and the clan followed their kill until a lion came to claim it as his own. The carcass was later spotted with a lion enjoying the carcass. There is still no official announcement regarding the elephant’s death .there is speculation that the elephant was successfully hunted by hyenas or that it may have collided with a car but no evidence or official statement has emerged to validify these claims. The video below shows the hyena’s feasting on the carcass while some take a post-meal nap Picture: Suresh Rajcoomar Also read: Game drive etiquette: Rules you need to know before going to the Kruger Elephant spotted thrashing crocodile in Zambezi River Related Posts Cape Town’s sustainability: Leading the way in environmental initiatives 1 June 2023 As National Environmental Month commences in South Africa, Cape Town stands proudly at the forefront... read more Kapama to host Safari Guide of the Year Awards 2023 1 June 2023 Kapama Private Game Reserve near Hoedspruit will host this year’s Safari Guide of the Year... read more Blood Lions relaunches for public viewing on YouTube 1 June 2023 Award-winning documentary feature film Blood Lions has been relaunched on YouTube for public viewing, creating... read more PREV ARTICLE NEXT ARTICLE
