The hyena cubs lay patiently by the den, awaiting their mothers return before nightfall.

The taste was a pleasure, but his eyes were alert as he constantly scanned the bush around him.

He looked to one side, catching a glimpse of one of his pride emerging from the bush.

A fleeting moment captures the malachite kingfisher preening itself.

Captured in a frozen moment, a Red Bishop Weaver turns to attack a passing mayfly.
