Is that a Hyena peeping from behind the tree? That's a great shot!

I recently learned that Hyenas are not canines. They're closely related to cats, actually.


Thank you. bw!

I have wanted to photograph animals in Africa so your photos, as well as those of others, have been catching my eye. Since you asked, I though the one of the lion might be improved with a bit more contrast, otherwise I think it's very good.

Thanks. It's an African Wild Dog also known as a Painted Dog or African Hunting Dog.

Great Series! Brings back fond memories of a year ago in S. Africa. That country gets into your blood. I'm sure you share my feeling that you must get back there.

The whole continent gets in your blood. This was my third trip to Africa since 2003. I force myself to go other places.

Beautiful. I was in Malawi at Mvuu Camp in July as part of a mission trip, but didn't have enough lens to get any good photos. Thanks for sharing.
