EDITORS COMMENTS
Who knew that hyenas had a taste for hippo hide? This hilarious photo captures the moment when a spotted hyena couldn't resist giving a lick to some leftover hippo carcass. Talk about an unusual snack choice! Taken in the Maasai Mara National Park in Kenya, this picture showcases the wild and wacky side of African wildlife. The hyena's tongue is outstretched, ready to savor every last bit of flavor from the hippo hide. It seems like even nature's clean-up crew has its own peculiar preferences. The contrasting textures between the rough hyena fur and the smooth hippo skin make for an intriguing visual feast. It's almost as if this hyena is indulging in some spa treatment – who needs mud masks when you have fresh hippo hide? This photo reminds us that nature always has surprises up its sleeve, even in seemingly ordinary moments like feeding time. So next time you're enjoying your favorite meal, just remember: there might be a hidden foodie lurking within all of us, waiting to explore new tastes and textures.
