It was a lovely, soothing song from unlikely and unlovely source; a hyeana. No matter how often you have the privilege and good luck to visit the ecosystems of Tarangire/ Manyara, there’s always something new to see and experience. Something  I could never have even imagined, was a mother singing a lovely soft,  humming  lullaby as she suckled, her young.

So who was this attentive and loving mother? It was a hyeana. Mama hyeana lying in the grass, completely  relaxed, humming the softest of tunes to her three half grown  cubs as they suckled from her.

Thank you in advance.
