LAMAI HYENAS KILLS TOPI.
Lamai plains in the extreme north of the park usually teems with a large clan of hyenas. Topis too occur on this area in large numbers because there exist a watering hole they share with the hyenas. During the heat of the day, some topis would be tempted to doze with their long snouts resting on the ground. Hyenas would sometimes take advantage of this situation and quickly attack from all sides. This is what happened today when ranger Kokan and his guests ventured onto the lamai plains while on a game drive. The hyenas devoured the topi with their powerful teeth and jaws and within no time they had consumed every bit of it.
