Incredibly Cute Hyena Cubs

 

 
The title says it all; right? It didn't take long for the cubs to come around checking us out. Our guide today, Talley, knows where the den is. We birded a bit along the way to the den, and then we had wonderful birding opportunities just while waiting for the cubs to appear. It turned out that the cubs were out of the den when we got there, which we didn't realize, and then we watched them making their way back home and feeling comfortable and curious about our presense. It was funny that they seemed insulted when our attention was drawn away from them by a stunning bird, and they gave us the, "Hey, we're the entertainment here" looks.
