Spotted Hyena, Crocuta crocuta, Gevelkte Hiëna, Kruger NP, Mpumalanga South Africa. The puppies are black when they are born, and gradually change colour on their road to being adults.

Nice series! Love Hyenas! They get a bad rep but the youngsters are great fun. Even if I have had a few items of clothing stolen by them!

Possibly my favourite mammal. I think they take the edge on wild dogs but that may be because I never get to see the dogs. #4 looks quite a low angle – is that just the distance or do you have a trick up your sleeve?

Peter, thanks.
No trick, he was just near me, frame filling near and the ground next to the road was a bit elevated so the angle down from the window was quite flat.
Beautiful and clever canines, we are lucky to see them regularly in Kruger NP. They can be naughty and chew on you car, one in the Kgalagadi stole the cover off the towbar and another chewed my number plate.
So when we stop, we now check carefully that they do not sneak up and do mischief.
