Mammals of Kenya
Hyena Cub
I am always in disagreement when I hear people talking about hyenas, saying that they are ugly, nasty creatures. I took this picture to show people the opposite. I found this cub at the den site in Amboseli National Park. It was very inquisitive and came to inspect the car very close. But more importantly, it was very cute. Hyenas are highly social creatures and have a “beautiful” side!
