Portrait of a Spotted Hyena at Sunrise in Kenya
While I went to Kenya last month mainly to photograph the big cats, there were times when I shot other subjects. That was the case with this spotted hyena. I don’t think many people think of hyenas as great subjects to photograph, but this one had the benefit of that golden hour of sunlight like the male lion I posted a week ago. This hyena was photographed at 6:50 a.m. local time. Sunrise was at about 6:30 a.m. then, as I recall.
