Excellent.
Of course it's a Spotted Hyena, David - we wouldn't be seeing it if you had not spotted it.

I reckon this one is maybe about 1 year old, and has its full spotted coat, along with the start of that lean and hungry look, Linda. The heat can be bad during the day, but these guys will hole up somewhere, even in a muddy pool. During the night though, the temperature plummets and you need that coat for sure.

Just how cold does it get? You have me very curious now.

In this part of the world, in winter at night following a clear sky the previous day, then the temperature will be down to 3-5 degrees in open spaces, a bit more in dense bush. In summer it will be a lot warmer - comfortable temperatures, but often unbearably hot (for us humans) during the day.
