Spotted hyenas

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
