Field Notes

Description:

We found these guys ripping this wildebeest apart early one morning. When we drove back to camp late that same afternoon, the last photo is all that was left from the feast...not much.

Thanks again Joshua. Hyenas can be fun to photograph when they are in an eating frenzy.

HI Sachin... The first few photos were at about 8:00am , and the last one was shot at about 4:30pm. I am sure the vultures came and really cleaned the bones off after the hyenas left.
