Japheth on a half-day game drive had planned to go down to Talek river hippo point. Not far from his destination a pack of over twenty Hyenas were moving back and forth. On arrival at the scene he saw a lioness feeding on a hippo carcass. There was not much left and the Hyenas wanted to get something to eat before it was all over but the lioness would not give them a chance. As Japheth drove further down he saw the rest of pride who were relaxing under some bushes. His guests enjoyed watching the commotion between the Lioness and the Hyenas.
