Striped hyenas are much more rare than spotted hyenas and we were lucky to see this one in Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya. Not only are they endangered, they are also almost strictly nocturnal and rarely seen in the daylight. This was at the end of the day and shot in very low light as two of them were ducking in and out of their den, getting ready for a night of foraging. Our guide said that he had only seen striped hyena a few other times in the reserve.
