Tired Hyena |
On our way back to the lodge in Kenya, when the sunlight was all but gone, we came across this Hyena lying on the ground, obviously somewhat tired from the long day. Hyenas are often misunderstood and vilified for no reason. Observe them for a while and you'll notice they are quite exceptional creatures: great parents (both parents raise the young, as opposed to lions, for example), intelligent, cooperative (hunt together in packs in quite ingenious ways), strong, and beautiful in their own way. I find them quite amazing!
