Another image from our Hyena pup sighting in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park South Africa, taken 21st Hyne 2011.

This time just one, being curious as to who these people making lots of clicking sounds were.

Nice one Ken - the oof fg is a bummer, but the pup is priceless.

I'm really enjoying this pup series, Ken. You're a lucky dog (partial pun?), getting some nice detail in the faces especially, without too much interfering grass.

Ken, I like the look you are getting...the OOF FG is a little distracting...not sure if it was weeds causing it? Anyhow, good overall image though.

Thanks for all of your comments, grass or as I describe them "pesky twigs" is the bane of a wildlife photographers life here in Southern Africa (and probably everywhere else), but in this case they are luckily only interfering with the feet.

In spite of the oof grasses I like this for the suspicious, but alert pose, with great eye contact.
