Cats are always on the hunt for food and scavengers are always waiting in the wings to pick up available scraps and dine out on carrion. Scavengers serve a vital role […]](https://www.sundestinations.co.za/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/WIPnthambohyena-370x275.jpg "Week in Pictures: Big Cats and Scavengers")
