We enjoyed this photo sequence of a hyena family having some fun. Alison Gillitt paid a visit to the Kruger National Park and captured the happy scene on her camera.
We recently visited the Kruger Park, and once again were treated to some amazing sights. Among several sightings of ground hornbills, large herds of rhino and watching the antics of the white-fronted hornbill, the most memorable had to be the family of hyena we spotted just outside of Letaba. Mom and one baby were in a clearing about 10 m from the road.

Dad comes through the bush. Baby is so excited and bounds across to dad to say hello.
Dad gets to the clearing, mom gets up to greet him.
The two have a huggy huggy moment, with baby looking on.
Folks and baby head off to find pup number two (we unfortunately didn’t see much of the second pup).
All back to the main clearing, where mom settles down again, and baby does what babies do best: gives mom a hard time.
