Hooded Vulture, surveying an elephant skull

Kruger National Park, South Africa

This skull is that of an elephant bull, named Alexander, who died of a presumed heart attack on Saturday, February 7, 2009.
7 weeks later, a pair of Hooded Vultures were still picking at the carcase.
The site is a kilometre or so from Mopane Camp.
