Lions of Sabi Sands

[Spalea]

Jens Cullmann: " Sometimes you have no choice what’s on the menu ... .

This lion killed somehow a full grown eland antelope (posted some pics before). But his teeth were not the best and he had to wait for days to eat it until the meat got soft and rotten. Not a nice view as maggots started feeding on it too ... and the smell was special too . . . "

The lions , being the apex predators in Africa, are able to keep its preys for a long time. Thus, when we see what they can eat, a rotten corpse with a vast number of flies flying over and a sligthering mass of worms in the entrails, we are asking ourselves how they can do it... Same thing for the hyenas, and even for the leopards up on a tree.
The cheetah's meal is mor "healthy": it is in a hurry to eat and the flesh is red. Reply
