Default RE: Dangerous Game Photos: Warning! Graphic!

You don't need to go all the way to Africa to get eaten, just take a trip to your local zoo. You've got the recent tiger incident in San Francisco and the croc attack in a Tiawan zoo. You've probably already seen this pic: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article1645584.ece.

No surprise that there's big chunks of limbs in the stomach. The tactic is for them to grab their prey and drag 'em under to drown. After their prey is dead they grab a chunk and continually flip over in the water until a chunk breaks free, then they swallowthat chunkwhole. Sometimes they'll be stuck with a chunk hanging out of their mouth, waiting for what they've already eaten to digest so they can swallow the rest.

With appropriate wildlife management one day you may be able to get the same experience here in the States - skin your elk while looking over your shoulder for a bear or wolf. Probably won't run into any crocs in the high country though unless global warming hits really really big.
