A brown hyena, a rare African predator, raises pups in a Namib Desert ghost town. The ruins offer shelter and pro-tection from the elements, but food is scarce, forcing the parent on long daily foraging trips. Witness the challeng-es of survival in this harsh environment.
The Brown Hyena is a scruffier-looking and more solitary relative of the spotted hyena and is confined to the southwest corner of Africa.
