The man who lives with hyenas


However, the inhabitants of Harar, Ethiopia have inv
ited wild hyenas into their community, believing they consume evil spirits with each cackle.



Every night for the last 400 years, two hyena clans have entered the streets of Harar and fought for dominance. The winners gain access to the bones left on the streets by the city's butchers.

One Harar resident, Yusef, has a close relationship with the hyenas. He calls them into his house and feeds them by hand.

Cities are the fastest growing habitat on Earth but for many animals life in the manmade world is not easy.

Some are surprisingly successful. Leopards prowl the streets of Mumbai, peregrine falcons hunt amongst New York's skyscrapers, and 5 million starlings perform spectacular aerial dances over Rome.


Using these photographs from the series as your inspiration, we want to see your shots of Earth's urban wildlife.

Interpret the challenge however you want. Show us your skills, experiences and celebrate life on our incredible planet. It's up to you.
