This is the rear end of a relaxed Spotted Hyena.
I would not want to get off a vehicle to get closer.

This only looks good on a leopard.
Again I would stay well inside the confines of the vehicle
(Madikwe game reserve)
If I was actually this close, this would probably be my last photo
A good one, but my last
(Madikwe game reserve)
This would certainly not cause me bodily harm!
A Lilac-breasted Roller

Elephants might look cute, but even small ones can be dangerous

And a potentially dangerous one at that

I have a history of being chased by Wildebeest…but have I learned my lesson?
Eventually, yes…
(Heia Safari Ranch)
I don’t think this could be considered dangerous…
Unless you had a severe allergy…
The bottom line…

Be aware at all times and certainly never put yourself in harms way
