Gretchen Ho muntik atakihin ng hyena habang nasa South Africa
KAMUNTIKAN nang malagay sa peligro ang buhay ng dating TV5 news presenter na si Gretchen Ho matapos ang kanyang naging engkwentro sa mga hyena.
Nagpunta kasi ang dalaga sa Timbavati Game Reserve na matatagpuan sa South Africa kasama ang kapatid na si Jameson Ho.
Sa kanyang Instagram post, ibinandera ni Gretchen ang isang video kung saan kitang-kita na palapoit na sa kinaroroonan nila ang naturang hyena.
“MAN vs HYENA. Here’s a longer video of our heartstopping encounter with a Spotted Hyena whilst having our sundowner drinks late in the afternoon.

“Spotted Hyenas are known for having powerful jaws and chomping down on their prey in a feeding frenzy. They can crush and digest bones, as opposed to lions that eat internal organs and muscle tissue, leaving bones behind for scavengers like Hyenas,” saad ni Gretchen.
Dahil allam niyang delikado ito, pumunta na siya sa kanilang safari car at handa na ngang umakyat sa bubong nito pero kalmado pa rin siyang kinukunan ng video ang naturang hyena.
Chika pa ni Gretchen, sinabihan sila ng kanilang guide na si Brett na ang hayop na naghahanap ng makakain ay nakatitig sa aming cooler na may lamang mga pagkain. Nakatayo rin siya sa harapan ng sasakyan, kung saan niya nakahanda ang kanyang riple.
“The lone Spotted Hyena was studying us carefully, trying to smell and look for signs of vulnerability. But our tracker Oscar looked the Hyena in the eye, as he stood tall. And slowly, the Hyena walked away.
Dagdag pa niya, “Brett [our guide] told us the Hyena wouldn’t be foolish enough to charge 8 fully grown humans. Had we been with a young child, though, that kid might have been attacked,” lahad pa ni Gretchen.
Ito raw ang rason kung bakit kinakailangang may minimum age requirement para sa mga game drives at open bush walks sa Timbavati Game Reserve.
Paalala ni Gretchen, ang rule umano sa ganitong pagkakataon ay laging kumalma at huwag na huwag tatakbo.
