This family of spotted hyenas was hanging out by their burrow in the rain, perhaps just heading out to hunt/scavenge, or returning. There are several species of hyena in Africa. The spotted is by far the most commonly seen. Their coloring and spots can vary greatly, even within a single family like this, and will change as they age. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 330mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/640th of a second.

Not the most endearing species of wildlife, but nonetheless, an important part in the balance of nature. Great shot, in particular with the landscape in the background.

That’s quite a shot of an entire hyena family, Sean!
