Mammals of Southern Africa
Hyena and Meal

We were looking for the Wild Dogs in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia, and they were eluding us once more, when we met this hyena carrying her dessert home. There had been a leopard kill during the night and the hyena managed to get the leftovers. Her belly was distended and was probably getting the head of the impala back to her den.
I used my Nikon D200 camera and 500mm lens on a monopod to get the picture.
