Brent says good morning while following
a hyena thru their DRC camp. (It was one of the clan males #15 to some Spiral

at the hyena den with Madam lying in her hole/dent in the ground
One of
the cubs in the tall grass near the back side of the termite mound/den
Black-headed
oriole and some magpie shrieks in a tree by the den.
Brent,

A breeding herd of elephants with
a tiny calf maybe a month or two old and a very large mature bull with huge thick
tusks.
Sam, ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Meanwhile
at the Hyena den a couple of the cubs have come out to play. Jan, June and Dec#2
are all playing and Madam is sleeping just in front of the tree they are
playing on, in, and around. Jan at one point who seems to be a momma's girl
climbed on Madams head maybe just to show her love or annoy her there way
children sometimes do. Then it's back to the tree. D1 and D2 play with the tree
and Jan for awhile too. Other then absolute cuteness that was about the excitement
for this den visit.
Brent,

right in front of Brent's vehicle when we come back to him.
