There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
From what I understand rangers were alerted by a commotion caused by a couple of hyenas already feasting on his body.
So I guess he died around the time he went missing. Most likely his body just gave out and the hyenas were the first to find him.
