15.08.2023 Quella sera siamo stati al centro di una scena documentaristica impressionante che emotivamente ci ha segnati molto. La Legge della Natura è spesso selvaggia, crudele, senza pietà...ma alla fine tutto ritorna nella consapevolezza del giusto. Eravamo con la nostra guida Cephas, dopo il tramonto stavamo tornando dalla 'nostra' Leoparda con preda sull'albero delle Salsicce, eravamo soli. Durante l'avvicinamento Cephas si accorge immediatamente della situazione, la luce era scarsa, ma riusciamo ad intravedere tra la polvere 3 Iene che prendono un cucciolo di Leopardo e la madre nel mentre scende dall'albero per difenderlo. Pochi attimi. Il piccolo muore davanti a noi. La madre per sopravvivere ritorna velocemente sull'albero. Le grida di 'gioia' delle Iene le sentiamo dentro di noi, come l'ultimo vagito del piccolo Leopardo. Le scene che seguiranno saranno cruenti. Difficili da filmare e da fotografare. Le 3 Iene (una grande madre con due giovani figli) si spartiscono il trofeo. La Madre Leopardo (alla sua prima cucciolata) ritorna a consolarsi accanto alla sua preda. La Legge della Natura è crudele, impressiona, emotivamente forte...ma giusta. #wild #safari That evening we were at the center of an impressive documentary scene that marked us a lot emotionally. The Law of Nature is often wild, cruel, merciless... but in the end everything returns to the awareness of the right. We were with our guide Cephas, after dark we were returning to 'our' Leopard with prey on the Sausage tree, we were alone. During the approach Cephas immediately notices the situation, the light was scarce, but we manage to glimpse among the dust 3 Hyenas who take a Leopard cub and its mother while descending from the tree to defend it. A few moments. The little one dies in front of us. The mother quickly returns to the tree to survive. We hear the hyenas' cries of 'joy' within us, like the last cry of the little Leopard. The scenes that follow will be gory. Difficult to film and photograph. The 3 Hyenas (a great mother with two young children) share the trophy. The Leopard Mother (in her first litter) returns to console herself next to her prey. The Law of Nature is cruel, impressive, emotionally strong...but just.

Among the crudest situations, photos in Africa, these killings between large predators. Great document, despite the precarious light, Fabio

Leopards (unfortunately because they are the felines that I prefer and love) are easy prey when they are small, like all other felines. Hyenas are very large canids that put lions to flight even if solitary. The savannah is cruel. Beautiful but cruel.
Documentary shot of great importance and sadness (for the little one). I can barely stand hyenas.

Bloody. Strong as life and relentless as death. The circle of life is closed. Beautiful photo and caption. Congratulations Fabio ;-)

I believe that only a male lion in full health can keep at bay, and perhaps overwhelm, three adult hyenas.
Wild shooting par excellence.

One thing is the law of nature one thing is intensive farming... We are the criminals

@Fpl1966 just a note. Hyenas are not Canidae.
They are part of the Hyenide family of the suborder Feliformia, not Caniformia. They are more related to felines than to Canidae.
Personally the hyenas intrigue me a lot,
They have behaviors and a very complex social structure and different from all other felines.
Greetings,
Stefano

Stewe80 +1
I find animal hyenas very interesting and remarkable predators: often it is the Lions who 'make the hyenas' stealing their meal.
That then the puppies make tenderness and side with them is another matter.
I find this shot exceptional and with a strong documentary value.

In nature, there are very few animals at the top of the food chain. But no puppies....
Great recovery!

really a striking image. I guess one of the things that will remain impressed are the very high yelps of the hyenas. Almost no one likes hyenas but they are undoubtedly a predator of great skill and have a very interesting social and behavioral structure.
Unconsciously we tend to humanize judgments and empathize with the puppy, but they are places where we learn or relearn to observe nature in its normal development.
It will be for what the animal I prefer is the elephant .... you know that it will be very unlikely to happen something like this, the way they protect the little ones within the group I find it almost moving.
