The Perfect PR Agent for the Hyena

September 26, 2012 7

Boyd Matson and his fellow travellers from National Geographic were just with us at Londolozi.  Sent by ROAR AFRICA, Boyd is a renowned traveller, writer and radio show host who has been contributing stories to Nat Geo for many years.  During his time at Londolozi he was guided by our favourite weekly photographer, Talley Smith, and decided to turn the tables by capturing her on camera.

Talley turned out to be the perfect PR agent for the hyena as she talks about the interesting behaviour and dynamics and this creature.   The full radio interview appeared on National Geographic Weekend in the USA.  Enjoy!

Wonderful Hyenas. They have mouths which make them appear like they are laughing when they are panting 🙂
