We saw the vultures first the following photo series was taken by Candice Scorer it is of a Hyena we think she stole the Imapla kill
from the Crocodile, here she is taking the innards and swims across from the Island at Hide dam back to main land
   
  Where she proceeds to eat the innards
She kept looking back at the island and the kill The vultures had decended on her prize
   
Back she went again across the water to the island We think she was either pregnant or lactating
Chased off the vultures  
   
Took a pice of meat and back across the water again to main land we then heard a noise behind the hide, sounded like a distress call
of something being attacked, possibly a warthog or duiker. We drove around to the back of the hide to find a female leopard, we were
not able to get a pic of her or find what she had caught, it must have got away. We then went into the hide and saw the island from the other side, there was Mr croc lying just below the vultures and the dead impala. Leopard tortoise by Candice Scorer
