South African lions eat 'poacher', leaving just his head
12 February 2018

A suspected big cat poacher has been eaten by lions near the Kruger National Park in South Africa, police say.

The animals left little behind, but some body parts were found over the weekend at a game park near Hoedspruit.

"It seems the victim was poaching in the game park when he was attacked and killed by lions," Limpopo police spokesman Moatshe Ngoepe told AFP.

"They ate his body, nearly all of it, and just left his head and some remains."

Police have not yet established the victim's identity. A loaded hunting rifle and ammunition were found next to the body, South African website Eyewitness News reports.

Well the good news for him is they probably suffocated him before disemboweling him. Maybe

Of course the might just have gutted him to start with and licked the blood off his face as he screamed.

I guess this means he didn't have his head in the game.   :shrug:
