Hello Everyone,
Here's a little Teddy Bear for you. A tiny spotted hyena cub, not sure it's the same one from my previous image because there were three brothers the scene and they all looked the same, naughty faces and all.
Impossible to obtain a better POV, had we moved further away we would have not been able to see them. Like I said before, there were other vehicles at the scene so not much room to play around. The den entrance was in front of the subject, I barely managed a few frames before he disappeared inside. Was glad to at least grab a frame with a bit of light on his face.
Cropped quite a lot from both sides, all in all about 40%. Been wondering why I did not shoot vertical...I think I was probably seated on the right side of the vehicle and quite uncomfortable - I remember shooting on a number of occasions without support through the left window and stretching over my gear lying next to me.
Hope to find better images of those little ones. I have not gone through all my folders properly and processing one here and there if it appeals to me. Except for one occasion many years back in the Kalahari, I have not seen such tiny hyena cubs before. So I am sharing those images with you, despite their shortcomings.

Hope you all have a great rest of the week, many thanks for viewing and also for your kind comments on my images, much appreciated!
Warmest regards,
