A Blind Eland Running Straight To Lions

This Happened in Kusini Serengeti National Park in Tanzania,
there have been a few cases of either half blind or completely blind Elands in southern Serengeti perhaps is some kind of an outbreak or it comes from what they eat, may be there's some kind of an invasive plant they eat that causes that, we don't know yet, still under investigation.

Excellent sense of smell on that Eland. His nose kept him out of harm for a bit. People fail to remember, when one of the five senses goes, another one (or two) is elevated 2x what it naturally is. They already have amazing sense of smell and hearing. The fact that he was blind, increased his sense of smell hence why he was seemingly able to avoid the Lions, until his inevitable fate. He could smell them near him

@@70AD-user45 I am familiar with hyenas and their eternal war with lions. One on one a hyena cannot deal with a lion. Hyenas only strength is in their numbers. And even with their numbers, a group of hyenas won’t challenge 1 adult male lion. Lions kill hyenas frequently. I also understand that hyenas are merciless killers; however, I’ve rarely seen footage of them killing anything. 98% of the time they are scavenging, begging, and/or stealing food from others.

The young eland was suffering from a fatal disease called Malignant Catarrhal Fever (MCF) that is caused by alcephaline herpesvirus 1 (AlHV-1) found in Wildebeests or the ovine herpes virus - 2 (OvHV-2) found in sheep. Since this happened in Southern Serengeti, the former is most likely the culprit although sheep are to be found right at the border with Ngorongoro. The disease affects the eyesight of the affected animal making them ultra-sensitive to sunlight and even causing blindness like in this case. The disease is usually seen in March and April in northern Tanzania, about a month after the calving season of the great wildebeest Migration. This is purely because the main transmission method is through contact between the infected animals and the newly dropped wildebeest calves or their afterbirths and the disease matures in the infected animals about a month or two after contact is made. It has no known vaccine or treatment and death is almost certainly a guarantee so in this case the lions did the Eland a favour!
