The Rectum of a Diseased Zebra

A while back, I noted that "the preferred diet of the wolf is not cooked backstrap from the pride of the herd, but raw flesh ripped from the diseased rectum of a downer cow."

What's true of wolves is also true of lions, albeit in their case it's the diseased rectum of a downer zebra. Here we see a lion that has eaten the back side, and then entered the carcass through the soft tissue of the belly.

And of course, the entry method of a wolf or lion is also the entry method of a hyena bent on feeding on a downer elephant.
