Predator, prey and scavenger maintain a close relationship on the African grasslands. Cheetahs often use rock outcrops to search vast expanses of land for prey. Scavenging birds like lappet faced vultures are the “cleaning crew,” feeding on kills left behind by predators. On the grasslands, no resource is wasted. The Critics, a set of vulture sculptures by Bart Walter is made out of bronze.
