Tiphys died either of a snakebite or of a mysterious illness but he was not killed by either a tiger or a rhinoceros. I guess he should have stuck with the substantially less dangerous trogons. Lucky him, right? Though he ended up dead anyway.

They are not necessarily the biggest African animals, but represented those that were considered a real hunter’s worthy prey or “game” – the African Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Black Rhinoceros, Leopard and king of the jungle, the Lion (which of course doesn’t inhabit jungle but savanna!). In Asia they are even commonly kept as pets!

The latter is even captured in a somewhat gruesome video , in which the hornbill plucks a caged bird out of its cage and kills and eats it. At 15h59, the female picked up the fourth chick and killed it by repeatedly crushing it with her beak. Then she tried to feed it to the remaining chicks.

a pregnant Indian rhinoceros readies herself for birth after a 16-month wait. Most of the babies saw their mothers killed by ivory poachers, but with the help of this program they learn to deal with their traumatic early lives and grow to healthy, happy adults.

The leopards place their kill in a tree, protecting it from poaching by other predators. So, the best way to find a leopard is to find the kill. It was a fresh kill, and though it might take hours, the observers knew that eventually the leopard was going to come back for his breakfast.

This was truly an incredible encounter we had been so, so fortunate to witness; a full Snow Leopard hunt from beginning to end including the take and kill. The red line follows the chase with the yellow dot indicating the first failed attack and the red dot being the final kill position.

One study found that birds living in Botswana had elevated levels of lead in their bloodstreams during hunting season, presumably coming from lead bullets used on animals killed by hunters. So, you would have a “Hippopotamus Egret”, a “Rhinoceros Egret” or an “Elephant Bird” ( source ).

The Natal Spurfowl forages on rhinoceros and elephant dung (HBW) and does so without complaining. And I do not even want to think about which part of an old man’s anatomy the throat pouch reminds me of. However, that is hard to do when reading that the pouch is used in courtship rituals. Think about it when you feel hard done by life.

Their presence indicates large mammals nearby – and only a few meters away, one Southern White Rhinoceros mother with a calf disappears among the bushes. Related to starlings, like woodpeckers they move over large mammals feeding on ticks, but also on their hosts’ blood. We wait for a while, but they do not reappear.

There are times when acting in the conservation interest of a species or ecosystem means that the welfare of specific animals is compromised, which is a fancy way of saying that conservationists sometimes have to kill animals for the greater good. There is no solidarity among the big cats.
