Lovely ..I dont think there are any at Rooiputs we never saw one in 2 x Multiple week trips there in the last 2 years ..Mind you iI never saw any Spotties either in the same area ..Seems like the lion density at the spot keeps them well away

We have been fortunate to see brown hyena twice in Addo.

First sighting along Ngulube Loop

(Photo removed, does not show)

Second sighting a few years later in Wayne's Valley

They have been seen more regularly in recent years which is great news - particularly around Nzipondo Loop which is near the main camp \O

Steeped in myths and legends regarding magical powers, hermaphroditism and black magic, and more recently cast as villains by Disney, the hyena family undoubtedly suffers from a bad reputation.

With their gentle, social interactions and strong kin bonds rarely witnessed, and their reputation amongst farmers as a livestock predator, the misunderstood and secretive brown hyena currently faces a battle for survival.
