The dustbowl is an interesting place. Hyenas come and go all night and dogs sit nearby as if keeping an eye on the enemy. There really is antagonism between the two species here and the nights are filled with crazed barking, the sound moving around the town with the movements of the hyenas. At one point a group of six hyenas returned to the dustbowl and it was interesting to see the second hyena turn at the entrance to the dustbowl and watch the remaining hyenas arrive. It seemed to me that it was checking to make sure that they were all returning. Or perhaps it had a cub that it was keeping an eye on. It was also interesting to see a man on his way home from a night out, walking through the dustbowl, passing within 2 metres of a reclining hyena, the man not shifting his direction at all and the hyena not concerned by the man. I was really expecting more of a reaction than that.
