Lions on a rhino carcass

This video clip shows a pride of lions feeding on a rhino carcass at night.  The Black Rhino had died from Anthrax at the edge of a waterhole and Etosha park staff dragged the carcass away from the water into an open area and removed the horns before leaving the carcass for the carnivores to feed on.  The carcass was still almost whole even after 4 days because the lions were having difficulty getting through the rhinos very thick tough skin.
