Hyena Nights & Kalahari Days

Hyenas often suffer from a bad reputation, misunderstood by most people and unfairly described in early wildlife publications with words like "freak," "stupid," and "ungainly." However, this book offers a fresh perspective, revealing these fascinating creatures as intelligent, powerful, and even beautiful. Newlyweds Gus and Margie Mills embarked on a two-year study of the elusive brown hyena in the Kalahari, only to find themselves so captivated that they stayed for 12 years. Their groundbreaking research unveiled a wealth of information about both brown and spotted hyenas, giving them intimate insight into hyena clans, their complex hierarchies, and extraordinary behaviors rarely witnessed by others. This title invites readers to see hyenas in a whole new light.
