EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the enigmatic presence of a striped hyena as it sits in the 1880s. The striped hyena (Crocuta crocuta) is a unique and intriguing member of the hyena family, with its distinctive coat pattern and powerful build. In this photograph, the hyena's piercing eyes seem to gaze intently into the soul of the viewer, while its ears are perked up, alert to its surroundings. The historical context of this photograph adds an extra layer of intrigue. Taken in the late 19th century, this image offers a glimpse into the past, when the natural world was still largely unexplored and misunderstood. The use of photography during this time lends a timeless quality to the image, transporting us back to an era when explorers and naturalists were just beginning to document the wonders of the animal kingdom. Striped hyenas are native to Africa and are found in a range of habitats, from savannas and grasslands to forests and deserts. They are social animals, living in clans that can number up to 80 individuals. These hyenas are opportunistic feeders, feeding on a variety of prey, including antelope, zebras, and even other hyenas. They are also known to scavenge and are often seen following larger predators, such as lions and leopards, to feed on the leftovers of their kills. Despite their fearsome reputation, striped hyenas play an important role in their ecosystems as both predators and scavengers. They help to control populations of herbivores, which in turn helps to maintain the balance of the ecosystem. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these fascinating animals and their habitats for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
