Re: Brown Hyena
We have been fortunate to see brown hyena twice in Addo.
First sighting along Ngulube Loop
(Photo removed, does not show)
Second sighting a few years later in Wayne's Valley
They have been seen more regularly in recent years which is great news - particularly around Nzipondo Loop which is near the main camp

Get to know the bashful brown hyena

Due to its nocturnal habits and retiring manner, the brown hyena often escapes attention, but this shaggy-haired scavenger deserves to be better known. By Gaynor Siljeur

UNDERSTANDING THE SHAGGY-HAIRED SCAVENGER

Steeped in myths and legends regarding magical powers, hermaphroditism and black magic, and more recently cast as villains by Disney, the hyena family undoubtedly suffers from a bad reputation.
With their gentle, social interactions and strong kin bonds rarely witnessed, and their reputation amongst farmers as a livestock predator, the misunderstood and secretive brown hyena currently faces a battle for survival.

Re: Brown Hyena
Brown Hyena spotted almost every night on a camera trap at Grietjie Private Reserve...
Look at the time and the temperature as well.
