Caption
Rüppell's griffon vulture (Gyps rueppelli) and spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) pick at an elephant (Loxodonta africana) carcass at dawn, Laikipia Plateau, Kenya.
This elephant was killed by government officials after it killed a man walking home late at night. Rüppell's vultures are listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List due to severe population declines caused by loss of their primary food source (dead wildlife) and poisoning by farmers.
