A suspected rhino poacher operating on foot in Kruger National Park, South Africa was trampled by an enraged elephant. Before rangers could recover his body, a pride of lions consumed the man leaving only his trousers and a bloody head. The dead man's family reported his death to park rangers on Tuesday evening after the surviving poachers told them what had happened to their husband and father. The four other members of the poaching party were arrested and are expected to answer for their crime in court shortly. Over a thousand rhino were hunted illegally in the country in 2017 to meet the Asiatic demand for rhino horn. In July last year three poachers were eaten by a lion pride in Sibuya Game Reserve in eastern South Africa.
