Sono i misteriosi uomini iena della Nigeria. Provengono dalle zone rurali del Nord, si spostano di città in città. Arrivano i nei villaggi avvolti da serpenti, scimmie addestrate e iene in catene. Si esibiscono in un circo di strada con la magia nera (chiamata “juju”) per il pubblico che crede che questi animali abbiano poteri magici (Nigeria - Aprile 2022)

Reportage photos document reality, whether we like reality or not is another thing, indeed if we do not like them maybe you have centered the "problem". Congratulations for photos and very special experience! :-o

Very disturbing this photo, certainly interesting and beautiful from the point of view of the image.
I was wondering: what does "with black magic" mean?

Beautiful and of great impact. I didn't know anything about it. The jene are absolutely ugly (if there were such categories x animals)

... in my opinion this hyena is happy.
I have seen dozens of documentaries observing that these are animals that live a very strict herd discipline, led by an absolute despot who is the "Alpha female".
And then always to run, to run to eat carrion rotting for weeks.
No... if I were a hyena I would certainly prefer to fiddle with the native of the photo!

Thanks Sauron..
I spent three days with these people and I can assure you that I have never seen the 3 hyenas "suffer". I have always seen them take care of them, feed them every day (one sheep a day) and water every couple of hours.
But again, my job is to document, just that.

Greetings,MAuro

Yes... Mauro, it's all clear: you shot an exceptional scene very well and that's it.
My last comment went (but jokingly, eh?) to the "animalism" of a way that also recurs on such an occasion.
Then, I add, certainly these hyenas are cared for, to compensate for the lost (and much more tiring) freedom they would enjoy in nature.
One sheep a day? Gee... in those parts it must be a high value, or not?

Hi Mauro, what do you mean by "black magic"?

Hello Francis,
I saw now that you had asked me the same question days ago, I apologize for not having answered.
Black magic (or "dark" magic) refers to the use of supernatural powers (associated with the devil or other evil spirits) to cure "problems" with potions, spells, and amulets.
In the case of the hyena, for example, tradition says that with the saliva of the animal you can create a potion that can solve money problems. Or that by sitting a child on the back of the hyena, the child will no longer pee in bed. It
is something that will probably make many laugh, but that remains a thing (like many other traditions and religions) deeply inherent in African culture.
Greetings
MAuro

Thank you! Crystal clear. I thought that black magic was meant evil witchcraft, to the detriment of someone. Fortunately, this is not the case! :-)
