GADAWAN KURA





The Gadawan Kura are a Nigerian band of wandering medicine men / performers that include a group of men, a little girl, three hyenas, four monkeys, a baboon, and several pythons. The comfort level between the humans and the animals is pretty amazing. Also- the monkeys have tons of outfits. Like way more than the people do. More photos from Pieter Hugo's excellent photo essay are on his website.

  2. Those aren't dogs, Dark_Lady, and you wouldn't want unchained hyenas running around.

  3. Most def wouldn't want Hyenas running around freely. It's amazing that they have them so well trained. The Dark Lady those aren't dogs though, and the def wouldn't be okay with just a regular dog collar.
