Spotted Hyena Takes a Drink by the Pond
Early in the morning, a curious hyena wakes up thirsty and trots over to a quiet pond. As the sun climbs, the water shimmers and the hyena sees its own reflection staring back! It pauses for a moment, puzzled, before lapping up the cool water. Imagine all the sounds and colors of the savanna as you bring this scene to life. Will the sky be bright blue or a gentle sunrise? Is the hyena’s reflection clear, or dancing in ripples?
FUN FACT
An Aardwolf hyena has a long, sticky tongue, perfect for licking up thousands of termites and insect larvae – its favorite foods.

COLORING TIPS
Try blending shades for the hyena’s fur to make spots stand out. Use light blue or silver for the pond to reflect the hyena’s colors softly. Add gentle yellow or orange for early sunlight, and layer greens for the grasses to make the scene pop.
