MalaMala Game Reserve, South Africa, Circa 2011.
When a large animal dies or is killed it attracts many scavengers but when that carcass begins to dwindle and there are less and less scraps to go around, competition increases.
Out of all of the large predators hyena are normally the most tolerant of vultures but in this particular case, this hyena had only just arrived and had not had his fill so didn't want to take any chances with the vulture stealing his dinner!
This hyena actually caught a vulture and like a dog chasing cars didn't know what to do if he ever actually caught one. The hyena appeared as surprised as the vulture in being caught and just sort of stood there with vulture in mouth not knowing what was coming next.
This lasted but a few seconds until the hyena loosened his grip and the vulture flew away unharmed.

This collection is a culmination of 20+ years of commitment to the conservation of wildlife and some of the most extraordinary moments captured through the lens.
The hope is that, through the images of this collection, you will feel the elation of each encounter - the playful, the awe-inspiring and the terrifying.
In Matt Meyer's second collection, he has chosen to celebrate the Icons of Africa for their unique beauty and for being some of the most recognized animals on the continent and in the world.
