This Day in History: June 13, 2010. I was in the Masai Mara in Kenya and it was very late in the day. We came upon a den of hyena and the pups were very curious about us, a couple of them wandering quite close to the truck to take a whiff. (After the day in the sun, heat and dust I am sure they got a nose-full from me…) More pups from the clan… shy pup  and snoozing pup And if you are interested in hyenas and why zoologists once considered them to be hermaphrodites, I have written more about them here: the-hyena-is-the-second-largest-carnivore-in-africa
