We are having this kind of attack second time this month and the pattern of the attack is exactly the same.

Due to farm invasion of our livestocks, we only allow them to graze at night and leave them till daybreak while we let them into their cage.

The first victim of this wild attack was Huda ram, he was sick and want missing, after about the third day, we found him with his head ripped off from the neck, likewise the second goat, brought in for mating about 12 days ago, felt sick, recovering, went to graze and the second day we met him this way.

We are currently working on installing perimeter net for the first part of the land we intend to use for livestock, that's about 3 acres, it separates the farm from the remaining land meant for crop plantation.

Which animal do you think is on the prowl?
Kindly suggest how to capture or kill this animal.

You didn't mention the location and the time (period) of the incident. Knowing these things will be helpful in tracing the cause of the problem.

The first step in investigating and solving a problem like this is knowing the location and time of occurrence.

I dey think Hyena

You should start worrying about your safety not the goats. Whatever killed the goat in such a cruel manner must be really cruel


I'm writing this to tell you to be careful about your life.

This clearly is the doings of a dangerous animal


Now, let me advice you professionally.

Go and do deep research on why animal rearers always choose to pair a donkey alongside other animals like yours while raising them. This can be the answer to saving you from such losses into the future.



Be careful. Be it an hyena, a fox or a jackal. These animals can be deadly



An hyena doesn't need to kill an animal from the neck, though it's not that it can not. This suggests another dangerous animal





Jackal Diet

Jackals are nocturnal, omnivorous scavengers. With their long legs and curved canine teeth, they are well adapted for hunting


Jackals kill small prey with a bite to the back of the neck.



Range & habitat

All jackal species live in Africa, albeit in different regions.



Diet

Jackals can be both diurnal and nocturnal. This means that they can look for food both day and night. All jackals are omnivorous, meaning that their diet consists of both meat and plants.


Highlight


" When it comes to killing small prey, they usually do so by delivering a bite to the back of the neck and vigorously shaking the animal. "



Possible culprits


Jackal

Fox

Juvenile Leopard

African civet




We found our answer, thanks to Bratislava. I stick with his idea. This is the work o an envious human in the community that wants to create fear and panic so the Op vacates and abandons the project entirely.


No animal kills in this manner. None

Ur farm must be close to a forest.. its a wild animal's doing. Wolf, hyena, fox and Co.

Plant a motion sensitive camera on that farm and see which type of animal is doing that job

This is the work of a juvenile leopard

If it's not wolf, fox, or big monitor lizard alligator, then it should be wild dogs.

Hyenas and wild dogs start feeding from the most vulnerable parts at the rear end or belly. They also consume all parts including skin and bones since they hunt in packs.
This kill reveals that the predator was acting alone, caught the goat and waited till it was dead before devouring. It also shows that the predator is selective with desirable parts.

Wild cat behaviour.

so which threat do you think he has in his farm.. which kind of wild cat So that the op can be conscious of what to do

habsydiamond:

Refresh my comment.

A leopard is highly the case. Indeed, a juvenile leopard

How to go about it?


Hire an hunter that sleeps on site for just two months.

Set traps around the location


Infact, rinse the goat to do away with the oozing odour and use it to set a trap

Thanks for your input, I've been thinking about the possibility of fox or wolf couple with the face that hunters still hunts very close to us, we hear gunshots both day and night.

Speak with the hunters. They know better the animals in their terrain. They'll be the one to let you know what did it.

I'm also in forested regions and cautiousness must never be overlooked

Yes, it is in the forest, somewhere around the tropical rain belt of the southwest

I think u need that fenching as fast as possible so that u won't lose most of ur livestock.

Baba, me don process am, infact, I chop asun yesterday but i don tell some community hunters and gave them some change for bullet and shayo, dey say make i no worry

Lol. So long as that animal has known that territory, forget it. It has marked it for life

yes, infact we have gotten 70% of all materials needed

You sabi, your analysis are spot on

Opoki:

good...it won't be fair with the economy of this country, the cost of sustaining the animals is not easy. For predators to be preying on the animals is only make it worse. I pray God will strengthen u

Opoki:

stop letting out the goats at night, leopards are nocturnal animals, they hide and rest during the day and hunt at night, all cats are also good at jumping and climbing.

I wanted to say Komodo Dragon, but I remember that Komofo Dragon Will swallow everything.

We ran into problems during day grazing and we are still in the process of completing the perimeter fencing.

Amen. Thanks for your encouraging words, infact, it's not easy, we've lost over 7 animals comprises of sheep, goat and Rams in about 2months, first is farm poisoning and now prey prowling

I'll suspect a civet cat
We call them edi abali, don't know what you guys call it.

It targets the neck of it's prey goats, sheep or chickens.

A wild leopard can do that too but would have dragged the animal to finish it.

Hyenas are scavengers and will flex the animal leaving the bones behind.

Share the footage with us when the creature has been detected

Chupacabra

Don't be decieved, this are just the works of an alien more especially a reptillian. Note this: put a very sensitive camera that dictates the least volume of environmental noise and u will find wat u seek. If the camera doesnt capture it, you will surely hear their noise while eating ur goat. Finally, first of all check if blood is littered around where the goat died, because it was a fight before its death, if an animal killed it. But, if the is no sign of blood everywhere, Then, know it wasnt done by an animal but a reptillian (angel or demon as people may call dem).

You need to set a trap ASAP... if possible with live bait.

Tie a goat and set a trap that can kill. It will obviously be a big trap. Not one that the predator will drag off.

What did this can very easily kill a human.

Don't let it get hungry and return. It will DEFINITELY come back.

I strongly suspect a leopard.
