Spotted Hyena Cub

Gallery: WildlifePosted September 29, 201299 views2 comments

We found a den with mum and her two cubs quite near the road in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa. The cubs are born black and do not start to turn to the normal colours until around 3 months so this one was probably quite young.

Very well captured. Great detail and I like the action of the raised leg. He looks very intent.
