Lions devour two rhino hunters in a reserve in South Africa




A bodyguard escorting visitors on a trip to a resort in South Africa found human remains near 

a group of lions at the Sibuya hunting reserve in Eastern Cape on Tuesday evening.
Nick Fox Seppoya, the owner of a South African resort, said on Thursday that lions had devoured at least two rhino fishermen at a fishing reserve. "We suspect two, maybe three, deaths," he said.
Police and the anti-poaching unit later found an ax, three pairs of shoes and gloves, and lions were heard in a rampage in the early hours of Monday.
"We thought they were rhino hunters and the presence of the ax confirmed it, they use the gun to shoot the animal and the ax to separate the horn," Fox said.
South Africa has more than 80 percent of the world's rhinoceros numbers that are decreasing due to overfishing for buyers in Vietnam and China, where the horn of the animal is used as a component in traditional medicines.
More than 1,000 rhinos were killed in South Africa last year alone.
