DEVELOPING: Rare Hyena Sighting Captured by Wildlife Photographer of the Year

Breaking News: Rare Hyena Sighting Captured by Wildlife Photographer of the Year Wim van den Heever, a wildlife photographer from South Africa, has been awarded the title of Wildlife Photographer of the Year for capturing a rare brown hyena in Namibia's abandoned diamond mining settlement of Kolmanskop. The photograph was taken after 10 years of searching and setting up camera traps. The brown hyena is primarily nocturnal and solitary, making it extremely difficult to capture on film. Van den Heever spotted fresh tracks in the ghost town and set up his camera trap, finally getting the shot he had been waiting for. The image has earned him top honors at London's Natural History Museum. The annual exhibition dedicated to the competition opens at the museum on October 17. The winning photograph is a significant achievement, providing valuable insights into the elusive brown hyena species.
