In the Namibian desert...
On the shop floor whilst packing shelf with my lads, one of the older chaps approached me to ask if I had heard about the guy who died last night....

I had not, I do know that this little mining town of ours was one drunken backwater dorp of debauchery and much festivity, with the various parties partying away into the small hours....

After hearing from various sources, it would appear that this chap got very very drunk at a local club, stumbled a hundred meters and passed out behind the local cell phone shop..... never to awaken again...

The police are unsure how he died, but what they do know, his this deceased fellow's body was torn to shreds by the wild Namib jackals that frequent the town under to cover of darkness....

What a terrible way to go!

:cry:
 
He was obviously out when the jackals attacked, otherwise no doubt he'd still be alive today.

Still scary though
 
Jackals can be murderous critters. A friend in Southern KZN calls them a scourge as they often maul his cows from its hindquarters as it starts giving birth. RIP to the unfortunate soul :(
 
Watch out for the pork sausage in Morty's deli section in the coming days.

/Moose makes mental note not to walk home alone down the dark desert streets at night any longer...... :(

At work now, will hear further details throughout the day, also a rumour of a child drowning down at the river..... :(
 
We have jackals galore.

They were louder than the fireworks on new years eve...
 
First addition to the tail (See what I did there),

One of the contractors to the store, reckons the guy was not drunk and passed out, as one of his workers was walking with the deceased a few hours earlier and he was sober.... In addition to this, the worker who said this has gone missing..... Me thinks something is indeed rotten in the state of Denmark!
 
These are what our local Jackals look like...

Ironically I was talking to a nature conservation official last week, who was lamenting that there are way too many Jackals around, especially down at the town dumps..... there is talk of culling...

How do your ones behave around humans? The ones at Kruger are usually very timid..

I have a feeling that he was probably dead by the time the Jackals found him.... either a random heart attack or altercation with someone.
