Firstly I make no apology in the usage of the title, taken from a superb documentary of life in Botswana.
I know Gabriela loves Hyenas and the pups are cute, but when they become adults they take on a far more sinister POV. However, they also play a very important role within the animal kingdom, the disposal of many, if not all of animal deaths by consuming not only the remnants of the left overs, but also the bones.
Not the greatest of images with some distracting elements, but it was the facial characteristic I liked here.
Thanks to those who viewed or commented on the previous posting.
