Fluidr / Best of 2023: African Wild Dogs and Spotted Hyena by Max Waugh Photography

Perhaps the most fascinating encounter of my Zambia trip occurred when hyenas came up to a small pack of wild dogs. The two species sniffed each other out, almost in a friendly manner. Eventually, however, the dogs tired of the hyenas’ presence.

The wild dogs provided not just this moment, but several other great encounters over a week's time, which is why they were featured in my favorite images of the year collection.
