Description
Spotted Hyena (Crocuta crocuta).
We had discovered hyenas devouring a fresh Impala kill one night. They had most likely stolen the kill from a cheetah or leopard. I returned the next morning to check out the scene of the crime and found that the entire carcass had been consumed, bones and all. This hyena was the only one visible and he was chewing and grinding and crunching the horn of the impala, testament to the incredible crushing power of a hyena’s jaws! Nothing goes to waste in nature!
