This was taken in the Kruger National Park. This Hyena was checking out a 2 Buffalo kills that had been made by 3 young male Lions. He was staring intently waiting and hoping for his turn. There were loads of vultures and a few Jackals waiting in the wings as well.

Nice portrait Dumay! Considering it's a jpeg.....pretty good detail also....you just lost a touch under the snout. Nice job isolating the BG too....my favorite part is the missing chunk of ear!
V nice.
We've been to Kruger three times and love it, the self drive/explore. Do you have a favorite area? (For those who not familar, Kruger is huge, size of our state New Jersey)
