Spotted hyenas
Category: Carnivores general, Other wildlife, zimbabwe | Date: Sep 20 2009 | By: zimbabwewilddogs
Hi folks,
We recently had an amazing opportunity to go to a spotted hyena den with some film makers on Malilangwe Conservancy - a wildlife area to the south of the Save Valley Conservancy. The hyena clan was a large one with six 8-month old cubs who were wonderfully curious and playful. It was a real privilege to be able to spend some time with them at the den and they were very relaxed, being habituated to the filming car. I just wanted to share these photos with you….
They aren’t quite as cute as wild dog pups, but they aren’t far off!
Have a look at Kim Wolhuter’s blog site (wildcast.net) for more photos and videos about the wild dogs and hyenas they are filming…
Back soon,
Rosemary

Hi Rose and team,
Just found your blog after Tara told me about it… we are going to start our MPT in the next few days… exciting!
Really cool hyena picks… i love these critters! Would love to see a wild dog pup though… have you ever heard of them on Mbirikani? I know there are some in Eselenkai?
Best,
Gwili
