The nature of African wildlife has always filled me with great enthusiasm. During my first visit in Botswana I heard the striking call of the hyena at sundown impressing me so much that it made for a very special atmosphere! Therefore, I support the beast of prey project of SAVE Wildlife Conservation Fund, which considers this unique animal a beast of prey.

Hyenas don't belong to those wild animals, which spontaneously arise feelings of protection or admiration.  However, when you look closer, they fascinate people with their unusual social behavior and their survival skills.


Admittedly, because of my professional background, there is an additional excitement for me regarding their chewing functions. I am so excited to learn more about the spotted hyena and hopefully to experience its positive development in the wild.
