A large cat hunters remains were found after he was eaten by the pride of lions that he was hunting in the fields of South Africa.

The Lion Hunter is widely known across Instagram for his videos and pictures showing his successful hunts.

The man was heard screaming from a distance by people outside near the South African city of Phalaborwa.

But the lions quickly eliminated their prey and had already eaten most of his body before being chased off, leaving his head untouched.

Police at first thought the man was a tractor driver who worked nearby until they seen he was still streaming on Insgram Live and identified the man.
