A suspected big
cat poacher has been killed and eaten by the pride of
lions he was allegedly hunting at a South African game reserve.
The man could be heard screaming for help as the beasts mauled him at the Ingwelala Private Nature Reserve in Limpopo province.
Although his cries raised the alarm, the lions quickly killed him and devoured most his body before being chased from the scene.
His head was the only part of him left untouched.
It is now the only means available to police of identifying the alleged poacher - who was carrying no documents when he was attacked.
A hunting rifle was also discovered close to what was left of the man's blood-drenched body. Officers believe the item belonged to him.
