Hyena gnome by busi2ness
Open full image in new tabDescription
The second of this well beloved appalling series on bush droppings: One has to love the artistic touch of this hyena sculpting its faeces, hehe. Note that it's a very bright white because it's very high in calcium content, it does after all scavenge and hardly ever leaves a bone behind. Very brave animals doing a splendid job of recycling in nature.
Brace yourself, if this is not your cup of tea, it will be safe to return to this gallery after the next one or two uploads, lol. I hope you all have a splendid week!
IMPORTANT! Go challenge your fellow photographers in the August forum challenge.
Thank you for kind comments, critique and visits to my previous upload:

Piet, I am starting to worry about you lol
lol piet you are getting into strange ways
Amazing the shapes you find naturally, nice job Piet
Nice serie ;-) I was impressed by the informations...
Piet, thanks for these little gems of life. This is both entertaining and educational - keep on 'dropping' us more info.
LOL!!! This is classic! I wonder if the hyena was watching you admire his work? haha
Great presentation of the nature's recycle!!!
HA! Reminds me of the friendship stacks or directional stacks I find when hiking. Perhaps the hyenas were the originator of this practice? Interesting color and smooth texture for this subject. :-) Great shot, Piet.
Reminds me of male & female....Great shot!
toller Schnappschuß!
Very nice piece of crap ^^ lol no really..nice shot :)
Looks like giant Garlic :), spose all the bones Ipisi crunch, causes the white?.....Nice shot Piet.
Splendid! What is this curious object... the DOF is excellent!
If you are not careful you think this was button mushrooms. Something you would collect and have on a salad. I think I will be looking closer at my salad after this picture of shit not shrooms.
Great idea and presentation!
Yep-looks like garlic to me, too, LOL! I have to say I've never seen white poo but this could be a great trivia question! Seems I learn something new every time I view one of your images--keep 'em coming!
OHH LOL! Looks fabulous and so funny to think about... "Sculpture" AHAHAHAHAH!!! Excellent shot indeed. :)
