A hyena in Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania

I saw quite a few hyenas while on safari in Tanzania, however it wasn’t until I got to Ngorongoro Crater that I could get close enough to get a decent photo of one. There were several hyenas in this particular spot, mostly just lazing around in the grass near a herd of wildebeest. They were probably hoping that some lions might come along and make a kill so that they could feed on the carcass that they leave behind.
