They don't like to mention numbers but my guess is between 30 and 50 \O

A quick visit to the park this morning produced some good sightings. We missed out on Roy & Nomad chasing buffalo by a few minutes, but I saw hyena in the south of the park for the first time. This one was on Harvey's Loop... it was very skittish and totally refused to turn around so bum shot it is \O

The great thing about heading into the park during the week is that it's quieter in the mornings... so you stand a better chance of catching these beautiful cats around O/\ O/\
