Man-eater of Mfuwe

Great story thanks for posting it.

The author mentions that "He was presented with the man eaters floating bones"
Can any one tell me what floating bones are?
I really enjoyed this post as I actually know the area and some of the people mentioned.

From my limited knowledge of skeletal anatomy, I think the hyoid bones are the only "floating bones" in a cat's skeleton. The hyoids (four in number) support the voice box and are not connected to any other bones in the neck, thus they are said to be "floating." I don't know for sure if this is what was presented to the hunter, but suspect it to be so. Hope this helps.
