Hyena Feasting in the Wilderness
This photograph captures a hyena in a moment of contemplation next to a large carcass, likely its meal. The hyena's gaze, almost directed towards me, creates a connection that draws the viewer into the scene, evoking curiosity about its instincts and behavior. The juxtaposition of life and death serves as a powerful reminder of the natural cycle.
