Title: Nature's Cleanup Crew
Post by: DragonSpeed on January 11, 2012, 09:01:35 AM

Jambo!  More shots from Tanzania...
In the real circle of life, it's the vultures and marabou storks that act as Nature's cleaners.  They come in and scour the remains of carcasses.   It's not pretty, but it's an essential part of the "Circle of Life" that doesn't show up on the Tourist brochures.
