shake off the rust

A spotted hyena in pale sunrise light. She is walking over short golden grass interspersed with short green plants. Her coat is short and shaggy, light yellow-gray at the top fading to darker brown at her feet and snout, large deep red-brown spots all over.

Wandering on a cold morning, seeking the remnants of a Wildebeest.
