Bloody skull all that’s left of Rhino poacher trampled by elephants then eaten by lions
A BLOODY skull is all that remains of a Rhino poacher who was trampled to death by elephants and eaten by lions at Kruger National Park in South Africa.
The group said they were surprised by an "angry elephant" as they stalked endangered rhino and stamped their friend to death, giving them a chance to run for safety. They found what was left of the poacher on Thursday but it appeared he had been eaten by a lion pride.KNP managing executive Glenn Phillips 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.
Mr Phillips commended the search party for finding what was left of the poacher to give the family “some closure” and extended the parks’ condolences to his relatives.
