The Most Dangerous Social Media Photos Ever Taken

Explorer Kim Wolhunter snapped a picture with a wild hyena, avoiding any chomps or giggles along the way. But it's cool. He's friends with this hyena. The picture was posted on Wolhunter's Facebook page, where he catalogs his and his family's interactions with wild animals. Apparently, hyenas can be very sweet. The hyena in this picture is named Tumelo, who apparently loved scritches and was very trusting of the humans lurking around her home taking pictures.

Wolhunter spends around eighteen months hanging out with the animals he documents so they trust him enough not to attack. He really believes in getting up close and personal with the animals, all the better to portray them as they really are. He has another famous picture under his belt of a cheetah casually nibbling on his toes.

Wolhunter advocates for a better public image for hyenas, calling out The Lion King in Africa Geographic for giving the animals a bad rap. He documents lots of different wild animals, but usually has a don't-get-too-close rule. This cute picture was one of the exceptions because Tumelo had a special bond with him. And, well, it's adorable.
