This reminds me of my first African hunt at Deka back in 1983. The warden in charge of Sinamatella, Andy Cousins IIRC, stopped by our camp to visit on his way back from dropping off one of the domestic staff at the hospital in Wankie town after she’d been mauled by a hyena.
He recounted the story of coming out of his house that morning to find the woman, very drunk, lying on her backside out in the yard, propped up on her elbows and watching a hyena chewing on her leg. Apparently she had passed out during the night and was eventually found by the hyena which started enjoying an easy meal. She was still so drunk that she was just lying there watching her leg being chewed off!
