We saws hyena on 5 separate occasions on this trip and I find them fascinating. Viewed as scavengers they are disliked by lots of people but they are actually very effective predators in their own right but will opportunistically steal anyone's meal if they get the chance.
One of the things I did notice was that the tips of all their ears are ragged and look like they've been chewed so not sure what this indicates.

on the plains of the remote Western Corridor of the Serengeti we found a Cheetah with 4 cubs . This image includes 3 of the 4 cubs with one showing its beautiful face.
There is plenty of prey in that area including large herds of Thomson's Gazelle but there are also lots of Lions and Spotted Hyena's .
I find Cheetah mothers really fascinating

The world is like a book and those, who do not travel, only read the first page.
If you only visit 2 continents in your lifetime, visit Africa, twice.
