Re: Interesting or Unusual Behaviour
Looking at the tummy size of the three males, I'd also wager the guess that the third wasn't hungry at that moment.
Just seizing the opportunity and killing the buff when they got the chance doing so.

Re: Interesting or Unusual Behaviour
I just witnessed something very strange, well according to me it is.
Yesterday morning Lions took down a Kudu. I saw the carcass on my way out this morning and when I came home, there were unusual carnivores scavenging on the carcass.
I would like to know if anyone else has seen this behaviour before...

Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.

Domestic pigs are supposed to eat anything, maybe it's the same for wild hogs

The common warthog is the only pig species that has adapted to grazing and savanna habitats. Its diet is omnivorous, composed of grasses, roots, berries and other fruits, bark, fungi, insects, eggs and carrion.
