An interesting sequence by Dzombo, 2016:

Dzombo wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2016 8:39 pm We stayed at LS for one night.
During the evening drive we went past Sunset dam, and there was a hippo lying on the side of the water. It was moving a bit, but did not seem in a good way.
Next morning, we went past to see what had happened and just managed to see some lions heading into the bush. Either the hippo had died on its own. Or the Lions had killed it.

We then went up to Satara for 2 nights, and then back down to Skukuza. For the evening drive at Skukuza I drove to LS to see what had happened to the Hippo. It had been reduced to bones in 3 days.
