No Laughing Matter 2013
Despite their genetic lineage, which suggests that they are closer to cats than dogs, hyenas have no fear or concern about water. They are definitely not your house cat! A favorite pastime comes in the form of wallowing in mud holes. Tire tracks along the dirt roads provide great places for water to accumulate after brief rains. Stopping in for a dip helps provide relief from the heat and insect pests. It provides onlookers with an entertaining sight but for the hyena it's no laughing matter. Relief from the midday sun helps them survive from inhospitable heat. #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #Tanzania #Nature in #Africa #Hyena #DrDADBooks #Canon #Bringit #Photography #Picoftheday
