This is one of the houses of an abandoned village.
All the buildings of this village were made of adobe (sun-dried clay)
bricks.
Thus the winter rains slowly melt the walls, until the houses disappear completely.
The whole village gives an impression of a haunted place.

The spotted hyena (Crocuta Crocuta) is the most social of the Carnivore, and has the largest group sizes and most complex social behaviours.
Its social organisation is unlike that of any other Carnivore, with respect to group-size, hierarchical structure, and frequency of social interaction among both kin and unrelated group-mates. However, the social system of the spotted hyena is openly competitive rather than cooperative, with access to kills, mating opportunities and the time of dispersal for males depending on the ability to dominate other clan-members. Females provide only for their own cubs rather than assist each other, and males display no paternal care. Spotted hyena society is matriarchal, females are larger than males, and dominate them.
