PhotoPOSTcard: A Spotted Hyena Spotting

We spotted our first spotted hyena at dusk in Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya as we were heading back to our lodge. This little guy/gal was moving quickly, presumably, looking for dinner, and totally oblivious to our presence or our desire for good photos in the low light. I have to say that I found them to be a much cuter animal than I expected.

Thanks for visiting.
