Description: Mother hyena moving a cub before the long rains begin

Story from behind the lens: I was amazed to see the gentleness with which the mother hyena gripped the nape of the cub's neck and the cub remained motionless as she transported him. To think that these are the same jaws that crush bones, yet can be so gentle when in mother mode.
