This is a (probably) male from the Erer clan called ‘Tukwondilli’ and he’s been acting a little strange of late. For two nights running, at the feeding, he’s been tremendously excitable, actually bursting through the line of tourists, doing a little lap of the shrine, and then coming back through the line of people from behind. And I must say, it’s pretty unnerving having a hyped up hyena push past you from behind like that.
Not entirely certain why he’s been so hyped lately, but it could well be his male urges as last night he was doing his best to mate with Koti, but without success.
And as a post script, I found out last night that 'Tukwondilli' means, 'To touch it is a sin' in Oromia language. This is kind of intriguing and I wonder how he got the name.
