There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

"A rare visitor"
One of the animals on my list for the Kalahari was the Brown Hyena. It is currently the rarest species of hyena (according to Wikipedia). In the Kalahari, 80% of a brown hyena's activity time is spent at night, so imagine seeing one in daylight makes a sighting like this pretty special. The global population of brown hyena is estimated at less than 10,000 individuals. (compared to the Spotted 'common' hyena that number is pretty low which is estimated between 27,000 and 47,000 individuals).
