Hyenas get a bad rap. Maybe that's a curse for all scavengers. Still, we should give them more respect, they are a important part of the food chain.
When I was camping in Kruger Park in South Africa I came the closest to a wild animal (a hyena) possible without having your throat taken out. He (or She, again who knows?) was on one side of the protective wire and I was on the other side. Unlike a zoo however, I was on the inside! It was an amazing experience.
San Nakji for President!
Hyenas are very interesting creatures. This is a cool picture. They are kinda scruffy looking animals, but you're right, they are very important to the balance of nature.
ReplyDeleteI have wondered that had it not been for the existence of scavengers like Hyenas, the world would have turned into a pile of decaying dead bodies.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed that you like the gorillaz.
ReplyDeleteNeat! I do too.
Nah, they are our carrion eating friends!
ReplyDeleteDidn't know they were so dangerous. However I assumed all African animals were dangerous to some degree.
ReplyDeleteMan is the worst....
