Botswana Beauties: Baby

Posted on January 4, 2018 by wongswyn

too young yet to savage his own feed
before puberty promotes him to
that other list of african fives
with the vulture the warthog
the gnu and the marabou
perhaps it's not a face
that only a mother would love
A photograph of a young hyena pup partially obscured by tall, dry grass in Botswana. The pup is looking directly at the camera with a cautious yet curious expression. The image challenges the common perception of hyenas as ugly, visually representing the post's title, 'Botswana Beauties: Baby'.
