A spotted hyena on the prowl across the grasslands of Ol Pajeta in Laikipia, Kenya. This is another one where I used the inverted monopod technique to get a ground-level perspective. Spotted hyenas are the most common large carnivore in Africa. Their adaptability and opportunism is largely what has made them so successful. Primarily a hunter, they are also well-known scavengers and will pretty much eat anything thanks to their ability to chew and digest skin, bone and other animal waste. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor Z 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 280, f/4 at 1/1600th of a second.

i can really feel the inverted monopod in this picture. It really just has a strong, monopody feel.
Thanks Louis. Mission accomplished.
Great shot! But why do they always look like they just rolled out of bed after a long night out with a hangover!
They do. Very scraggly.
