The Auob river in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is perhaps the finest place in the world to see cheetahs, says Gus Mills…and it is one of the best places to see them hunting.

Gus Mills is a Research Fellow for the Lewis Foundation, South Africa

Gus Mills decides to follow Cicely. On the way the female hyena discovers delicious ostrich eggs and displays fascinating behaviour.

Gus Mills and Dr Hans Kruuk explore a new way of trapping brown hyenas. Their first attemps at this are somewhat unsucessful and humourous.

Imagine living in the Kalahari, tracking hyena by night, exploring the dunes by day. This new book by husband and wife Gus and Margie Mills captures that experience. Reviewed by Melissa Siebert
