“Survival in a Hostile Landscape” by Michael Viljoen; seeing a brown hyaena is always special as they are mostly nocturnal. We were privileged to visit the Skeleton Coast recently and saw a few hyaenas one early morning. We found this one walking back to its den after a night’s foraging. The sun was rising but it was bitterly cold with strong wind and mist from the Atlantic Ocean. I wanted to capture the brown hyaena in its environment and hope the picture conveys the toughness of this animal, surviving in an incredibly hostile environment.
