An elephant killed a poacher and lions devoured his body

A poacher who hunted rhinos in Kruger Park, South Africa, died this week presumably from an elephant. His remains were then devoured by lions before being found by the park guards.

The South African National Parks have issued a statement in which they explain that the victim's family was informed of what happened by the companions of the deceased who explained that "an elephant l & # 39; 39, killed "last Tuesday.

The family then informed the police, who made a search, although it was only Thursday morning in the morning when they found the remains thanks to information provided by the accomplices of the victim, arrested Wednesday.

"It seems like a flock of lions has eaten the leftovers, leaving only the skull and pants," says South South National Park.

Kruger National Park Executive Director Glenn Phillips conveyed his condolences to the victim's family. "Entering and walking illegally in Kruger National Park is not very smart, there are many dangers and this incident is the proof," said Phillips. "It is very sad to see the girls crying in front of their father and, even worse, having been able to recover so little of their remains," he added.

The four accomplices of the victim are arrested and "will appear in court if necessary," said South South National Park.
