A very young spotted hyena, they are born with black/brown fur, and are incredibly lovely to look at! This little one got scared, as an elephant approached, and it ran back into its den!

Why we should value scavengers

Vultures are highly adept at cleaning up carcasses, making them the most efficient scavengers in the animal world
Vultures and hyenas play a vital role in preserving ecosystems and preventing diseases such as rabies. Should we value them more?

The critically endangered White-backed Vulture & Hooded Vulture in the background.

Vultures, in my humble opinion, are the most misunderstood of bird species, and get an undeserved bad press. They need positive PR! ๐Ÿ‘

I'm featuring an ecosystem rather than an organism this . Lasting for only a short time but providing a bonanza for life, a fall occurs when a whale dies and sinks to the floor. The carcass provides rare for a range of , from microscopic bacteria to huge sharks. The whale fall shown here is an artificial one on display at the , where spider , giant , and jawless occupy a skeleton.

One of my favorite shorts is by Charles Huettner. If you like sci-fi and and you've never seen it, do yourself a favor and spend 8 mins watching it on YT:

For you Mastodonners who love scifi, funky colors, weird body stuff, and cuh-ray-zee monster/animal/alien designs, try this short animated film SCAVENGERS:

...I'm still not sure what happened. Some of the bits remind of John Varley's GAIA series, where you can harvest things from a bizarro-world animal without hurting it.
