Something on the gory end of the spectrum …

Sometimes our rangers and guests come across the sort of scenes that just simply aren’t for the faint-hearted. Quasi everyone wants to see these things, but when they do see them, many are quick to realise that they may not have wanted to see this sort of thing after all.

Pierre and his guests, about a  fortnight ago, witnessed one of these scenes that are so gory that I have been pondering for a little while whether I should post it or not, as it is reallynot a pleasant thing to look at.

I have decided, after all, to post it, as it shows the crass side of nature, raw and real. It is survival of the fittest after all!

This giraffe was killed by the lions on our reserve shortly before, and Pierre found them enjoying the feast of the year. Bon appetit!
