One of the characteristic predators of the African savannah the Spotted Hyena was long thought to be solely a scavenger, but it is now known that it is one of the most successful hunters. Its sloping features and ungainly walk, together with its eerie call have earned the Spotted Hyena a bad reputation. Long thought to be of the dog family the Hyena is now thought to have more cat-like features. The Spotted Hyena is well known for its macabre chuckle or “laugh”, which is an indispensable sound of the African bush at night. The large head, sloping back and a keen sense of smell is unique to this species. Description from www.krugerpark.co.za/africa_spotted_hyaena.html We lived in Johannesburg in the 70s and visited the Kruger Park several times. Always a very special experience, the sights and sounds of Africa. Scanned original photo (1978) Archive Airings AA40 Wild Animals

On the Golf Course Australian PGA Golf 13-16 December 2012, at the Pro Am Day 12 December. Coolum, Queensland, Australia. 'Kangaroos usually have one young annually. The young kangaroo, or joey, is born alive at a very immature stage, when it is only about 2 cm long and weighs less than a gram. Immediately after birth it crawls up the mother's body and enters the pouch. The baby attaches its mouth to one of four teats, which then enlarges to hold the young animal in place. After several weeks, the joey becomes more active and gradually spends more and more time outside the pouch, which it leaves completely between 7 and 10 months of age.' www.koalaexpress.com.au/kangaroo%20facts.htm Archive Airings AA40 Wild Animals The Alphabet Site J
