Hello everyone,

 

I am a member since last October but i have been reading ST long before.

 

I've never participated before, although I would have like to in many occasions, but It is not easy to express myself very well in English.

 

Do not know if this is the right way to start my participation , I hope so.

 

Paco

 

 

I agree with you Rick , pups not ugly at all.

Hyenas eh?

 

Pups are very cute, I hope I've just proven that.

 

Ciao,

I personally like hyaenas and will try to find some time to post photos at some time.

 

BTW, hyaenas have cubs not pups. :D

Hi Matt, great to be on board! We were at the sighting for more than 3 hours, visiting it over a period of 3 days! Will most certainly post numerous images in future.

Great Chris, where did you see this interaction? (And welcome to Safaritalk! At least, a belated welcome...)

 

BTW, have a look at my signature to see how to upload images and embedd them opposed to attaching as files.

That old thing looks like something from a horror film: what was its story?

***Warning***

 

Some may find these images a little confronting, but this is nature at it's most rawest and Hyena are never a clinical killer.

Death is all around her.

Here she looks down the camera in a stoic defiant manner as the cauldron of Hyena close in.

All the time never uttering one sound in the 20 mins it took for her misery to end.

Being heavily pregnant and possibly even in the throes of giving birth (we arrived on the scene just as this Hyena clan were nipping at her heels, so this is just an assumption)

she couldn't keep up with her herd and fell behind.

Here this Hyena makes off with the unborn foal.

Marc, I remember this stunning series of yours from BPN and/or Naturescapes websites. Am sure it can be quite a challenge to witness a creature's misery like this, but I guess nature has its own ways. I've witnessed a kill made by a lioness which was then stolen by 3 hyenas, as gracefully as the zebra was put to rest by the lioness, the hyenas ripped it to pieces in a blink! Well put....they're not clinical killers.

Thanks again for sharing!

Another incredible set of images. How many safari goers would have the stomach to watch this unfold. Can you imagine in a shared vehicle, if half the passengers wanted to stay and watch and the others not? Who would make the decision? Thanks for posting.

Good point Matt, which is why my wife and I always opt (where possible) for a private vehicle.

Just minutes after we arrived on the scene, another (shared) vehicle pulled up...............it soon departed as it was all too much for one lady in that vehicle.

 

Cheers

It can get cold overnight in the Mara in July/August.
This girl looked bonny with her thick fur and "mane".
