eating unknown animal

    What is this??? Is this a spotted hyena with something in its mouth? It looks rather plump? Do we classify the animal it is eating? Is it a rodent???
    (edit: I'm going with spotted hyena)

    Definitely spotted hyena. In my experience, when you see a hyena walking with food object, it's taking a part of a large animal away from the kill and from the presence of other hyenas, to somewhere it can eat in peace. So this could likely be a piece of zebra or wildebeest or any large critter, but too blurry to tell.
