Yesterday we saw Sauer, an adult female, kill a
lilac-breasted roller! Once dead, this
bird was a popular item among the hyenas.
Two cubs, Aunt Jemima and Gobekli, were curious and followed Sauer
around trying to get a taste. Gobekli
got hold of the roller first, but once he had it he decided he didn’t actually
like bird. Typical, right? Aunt Jemima, only a year old, finally got to
chew on it after everyone else abandoned it.

Oh my gosh! So weird but so cool!
What was the roller doing that made it easy for SAUR to catch? Wonderful photos, thanks for sharing!
