The spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), also known as the laughing hyena. Photographed in Timbavati Private Nature Reserve on the western boundary of the Kruger National Park, South Africa.

"The spotted hyena lives in a matriarchal society quite rare in the world of mammals. Females are larger, more muscular and definitely more aggressive. The highest ranking male in the clan is generally subordinate to the lowest ranking female. These spotted hyena clans are rude, boisterous, highly social groups that spend allot of time pushing and shoving but will ultimately spend the afternoon siesta snuggled in a huge shaggy pile."

African bush elephant, (Loxodonta africana), also called African savanna elephant.
The mother decided we were too close to the calf and "mock" charged our vehicle but with her ears fanned out. Some high speed driving in reverse saw us clear. Had she charged with her ears pinned back flat it would have been likely that the charge was real.
Most charges made by elephants are mock charges.

Photographed in Kruger National Park, South Africa.
