His screams for help raised the alarm but the lions quickly killed the man and devoured most of his body before being chased off.

“It seems the victim was poaching in the game park when he was attacked and killed by lions,” Limpopo police spokesman Moatshe Ngoepe told the AFP. “They ate his body, nearly all of it, and just left his head and some remains.”

“A scream was heard and the lions were scattered by the sound of gunshots but it was too late to do anything for him. He was eaten,” a local worker is reported as saying.

Officers found a rifle and ammunition next to the body at Ingwelala Private Nature Reserve just outside the national nature reserve, near Hoedspruit in the Limpopo province, the AFP reported.

Authorities first thought the victim was a driver of a tractor who had gone missing, but he has since been found alive. Police have not yet identified the suspected poacher.

Lion poaching has been an increasing problem in South Africa. The wild lion population dropped from 30,000 to 20,000 in 2017, according to The South African.


According to Panthera, lions have disappeared from 90 percent of their historic range due to habitat loss, hunting and poaching, retaliatory killings by livestock owners, loss of prey and other factors. “Just over a century ago, there were more than 200,000 wild lions living in Africa. Today, there are only about 20,000; lions are extinct in 26 African countries.”

    Justice prevails! He deserved to die! Now if we could get them to eat all the other poachers as well, we wouldn't need anymore poaching guards. Everyone knows there are not enough of the guards to go around. Why are the people living there letting people from here kill these beautiful animals. Money isn't everthing.

    The Lion has the right to defend thier families. Women should have the right to defend thier children an thier kitties and puppies.

    The human man has murdered many lions and female lions cannot find food for thier kittens. Human man has abused and killed many women and children. Man has raped women and children. Man has abused so many pcats and dogs. Chinese men have abused wonen and children. Chinese men have killed 10,000 cats and dogs in China every year. Human men need to read the .Bible and Obey God' Law. They must listen to God. Jesus spoke to God. Jesus instructs each of us to pray. I am listening to Jesus. I read the words of His father are in the Old Testament. The stories that Jesus told. He was a teacher of Scripture. He was inspired by his mother, Mary. I was taught to pray by my mother. I am inspired to teach others about the Bible
    My Father inspired my faith. My Father is in Heaven with God.

    I wrote a poem about Faith in 1985. I traveled to Minneapolis. I visited Temple Isreal in Minneapolis. I opened a Torah for first time. I found the answer to my question about God in that book.

    I discovered more what Jesus said is true. I walk with Jesus by by side.

    Jesus does love all children and animals. They are all created by God.

    Löwen sind hochintillegente und hochsensible Tiere.
    Die wissen ganz genau, wer ihnen schlechtes oder gutes tun will.
    Kennt Ihr den Löwen- und Naturfilmer Jürgen?
    Der darf sogar zwischen den wilden Löwen robbend, mit seiner Kamera filmen und wird von ihnen akzeptiert, so als würde er dazugehören.
