Caught Red-handed…
This hyena cub was trying his luck to steal a bone from an adult. Hyenas are social animals that communicate with one another through specific calls, posture and signals. They quickly make their various intentions known to other members of the clan.
Hyenas, unlike jackals and wild dogs, do not normally brings back food and regurgitate it for their young. Cubs begin to eat from kills, near the den, at about 5 months, but they suckled as for as long as 12-18 months, an unusually long time for carnivores. (Satara, Kruger National Park, RSA)
