OK, we'll have to wait for the little dark brown surprise

A pity that all the sand roads were closed. the S25 is such a bore IMO

OK, we'll have to wait for the little dark brown surprise

A pity that all the sand roads were closed. the S25 is such a bore IMO

It was such a pity but what to do The S25 has parts where same is a bit more interesting but the beginning from the Malelane side can be extreme boring but prefer to drive that road instead of via all the tar roads

Love the Hyenas

And for sure more hyena shots to follow

[Pumbaa]

one of the youngest hyena pups



and for sure one of the most relaxed youngsters at that age we ever saw



especially at such a frequently driven tar roads but under the aspect that mom was extreme stress-relieved that must have passed over to the small brown cutie as well.



In the beginning the youngster curiously explored the surroundings still within the safety distance to mom but same was running a bit around and sniffed here and there



but then the youngster was thirsty





and had to cuddle seriously with mom who now was alert and checked out all the cars which passed by



but soon started to relax again and the youngster had enough from the milk bar



and now started to annoy mom a bit

[Pumbaa]

but as mom was tired or at least pretended to be tired



same had to occupy with itself.



That little brown youngster was simply too cute and stole our hearts immediately.



Then unfortunately a very noisy commercial vehicle overtook and the youngster ran straight into the close by den and it took a while until same dared to come out again



and ran right back to mom



and now bit her into her ears – Obviously one of the reasons why the ears of hyenas do look often nibbled as the small and sharp teeth can be extreme ruthless.



It was such a wonderful sighting that we again took picture after picture



and after the youngster annoyed mom enough same got thirsty again



and as we got so many shots and stayed already quite a while at that sighting we finally continued.



to be continued……………
