This unfortunate elephant had to be euthanized by park rangers after breaking it's leg at Kwando Pan in Chobe National Park. The following morning the numerous Spotted Hyena and Blackbacked Jackal had already opened up the elephant stomach and started eating it from the inside out. A few days later the lions rolled in and took over the carcass. The footage shows a herd of elephant watching over the dead elephant bull, with one elephant gently touching and smelling its dead friend!
