Hyena's have had a really unlucky track record at Perth Zoo, deaths and even a batch being poisoned... so to see them there at all was a gift. Usually they're lying down or hiding, since their particularly enclosure very much gives many significant privacy spaces for the animals.

But this one stood for a good minute, and even looked over a little, and I very much enjoyed taking photos. I got another four similar ones, but liked this one the most.

That wouldn't surprise me actually, with the elderly lion. There was a quality to the wideness of his eyes, and also the tilting of his head, that suggested he listened to things quite hard.
