A sensational whooping performance from this stunning female spotted hyena.
The eerie whoop of a spotted hyena is one of the iconic calls that echo through the African night. It is not often though that we are privileged to actually see an individual whooping during daylight hours right next to us. Notice how her head is bent down when she calls, to enable the sound to travel further.
The "whoop" is a distance communication call that hyenas use to announce their presence when they are out of visual contact. Each hyena has a unique whoop, which is used for individual recognition and other social communication.
