UNSOLVED MYSTERY

This morning at Lerai Forest, we came across a buffalo carcass lying in a stream. The buffalo's skin had been removed, exposing the ribs. One hind leg had been half eaten.

We tried to look for the animal which may have killed the buffalo as we were curious to find out why the animal had seemingly been abandoned. We were not successful in our search, even when we returned to the site of the carcass four hours later. There was not a soul in sight and no scavengers either.

Whatwever animal killed the buffalo and abandoned the carcass half eaten, remains a mystery.
