A rubble-stone marker bearing a plaque inscribed: Into this tree ranger Wolhuter, badly wounded, climbed after having killed the first lion in order to avoid an attack by the second, which remained nearby until assistance arrived. A nearby plaque indicates the place where Wolhuter was dragged by the lion before he stabbed it in the heart with a sheath knife. [See also Kruger National Park : Memorials and markers].
