The picture of the guy standing in the street with his hyena has been popping up a lot lately and I’m kinda gettin’ tired of it.
It’s not a real photograph. The scene as depicted never took place; it is Photoshopped. For starters, look at the angles of the shadows of the hyena and the guy - they’re not the same.
Ugh…

You know, there are cities and schools and buildings in Africa. Thanks for just feed the stereotypes.

Actually the picture of the guy with the hyena is real.
Here are more from the photographer:

I agree with steve, also look at the rope he’s holding, it turns into chain out of nowhere.

How did the girl in the bottom picture get a Sturmgewehr?! I bet thats worth a pretty decent amount of money.

Get a clue steve, it is real, they are a very well documented and famous band of street performers in Nigeria.

ummm….that is a real picture (both of them). People DO keep them as pets. Sorry, I know, reality can be tiring sometimes. We’ll try to do better to keep you entertained going forward.

A high shock value collection of photos, and no where close to a cross section of things that “Only” happen in Africa.

Looks exciting. Beats any pale face idea of a “life” lived.
