HUMAN DEVOURED BY A LION, WAS HE A RHINO POACHER?

The body of a person believed to be a rhino poacher was allegedly mutilated by a lion, and all that was left was the skull and part of the leg still wearing a white sneaker on.

It is speculated that Rangers had it easy on this alleged Rhino poacher as the lion ‘protected’ yet another rhino from being dehorned.

Although the graphic images have gone viral, the game or nature reserve where this incident occurred has not been identified as yet.
