Photo by beverlyjoubert / It’s a complex, competitive, and often dangerous world that this little one is growing into, and there is so much to learn in order to successfully navigate the hyena social structure–not least a clan’s intricate behavioral language. Whether it’s affectionate nuzzles and muzzle licks, deferential giggles or soft "squitters" to demand milk, cubs need to grasp the ins and outs of this social system quickly and well…their very survival depends on it. #hyenas #hyenacub #wildlife
