The image displays a white informational sign about a "Spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta)" hanging vertically on a blue-green metal grid, likely an animal enclosure fence, in Markurdi, Nigeria. The sign is attached by small wire hooks to the rebar structure. The visible text on the sign reads: "Spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta)" "Also known as the laughing hyena, is a hyena species, currently classed as the sole extant member of the genus Crocuta, native of sub-Saharan Africa." "It is listed as being of least concern by the IUCN on account of its widespread range and large numbers estimated between 27,000 and 47,000 individuals." "The species is however, experiencing declines outside of protected areas due to habitat loss and poaching." A faint, partially visible image of a spotted hyena can be seen at the bottom of the sign. The metal grid appears somewhat rusted in places. Through the grid, a dark and indistinct background is visible, suggesting the interior of an animal habitat or a shadowed area. The ground below the sign and fence appears to be dirt or gravel. The bright and clear lighting indicates that the photo was taken during the daytime.
