If there was one species of critter I wanted to photograph here in Africa it was the Hyaena. This morning we had a little time right after the rain with two female Spotted Hyaena just lying beside the road. The Hyaena is a very misaligned critter as most think of them as vicious, smellie, opportunist. They are essential to the ecosystem and do more than just eat dead stuff. Now watching this sleeping female through the 800mm, I couldn’t help notice its smile and I wondered if they have “doggie” dreams. I’m looking forward to hopefully spending more time with them and time with them at a kill. That’s true Africa!
