Re: Brown Hyena
@Sprocky.
Interesting.
Am I correct in saying Grietjie borders on Kruger?
There has been a lot of debate on "the other side" about whether brownies have ever been seen in Kruger. Lots claiming not.
But surely they would cross over if given the opportunity??

Re: Brown Hyena
Klaserie is between Grietjie and Kruger, but for the past few years there have been no fences separating the various reserves. All animals are free to move between all of them, including Kruger. In fact, Grietjie is now part of the Greater Kruger Park.

Re: Brown Hyena
Not sure how common, as they are only seen on camera traps. But it is almost daily and we don't know how many sightings are of the same animals.

Re: Brown Hyena
This would lead me to believe that they do wander into Kruger.
Only possible reason for them not to would be a high predator population in that area?

Re: Brown Hyena
We have a huge predator population on Grietjie as well, Lion, Leopard and Spotted Hyena.

This elusive brown hyena has made a home in the ruins in the Namib Desert. She's raised nine generations of cubs, can she provide for her current brood in the most hostile country on the planet?
