Hyenas scavenging on Eland.
On an afternoon game drive north of the camp, ranger Jaffery and his guests came upon some hyenas that were busy feeding on the remains of an eland in the open plains. They were not the killers of the antelope but had taken the opportunity to eat when the lions had left.Each of the five animals were struggling to have a piece of the meat from the vetebrae but very little flesh remained on it.
