At least two poachers have been mauled to death and eaten by lions on a South African game reserve

Speaking to AFP news agency Mr Fox said: "They strayed into a pride of lions - it's a big pride so they didn't have too much time." "We're not sure how many there were - there's not much left of them." More than 80 per cent of the world's rhinos live in South Africa.
