Wait, was it spotted or striped that doesn’t normally attack humans? One will eat your bones super fast while the other just kinda doesn’t want to be bothered
Striped hyenas are very shy and don’t have large clans the way spotted hyenas do. Spotted hyenas have the jaw strength to devour bones. Not sure about striped hyenas…
They had a bad rap before The Lion King came out; the movie played on preexisting stereotypes (though I'm not actually sure that's the right word) about hyenas.
Not really. Hyenas are a pretty brutal species. I guess the biggest misconception is that hyenas are pure scavengers when they are more successful hunters than lions for example.
All the unusual animal petting is locked behind hard committing to a career path that likely still won't come with opportunities to pet these animals, it's not fair.
Technically it was from Catwoman *on* Batman. Joker tried to sick his hyenas on her, but she got them to calm down instead of attack (she has this effect on most felines).
Hyenas are dog software on cat hardware. Jackals are cat software on dog hardware. Foxes are what happens when a software engineer with ADHD tries to merge cat and dog software before running it on dog hardware made by someone whose inspiration was 14th century paintings of dogs and their favorite pet ferret.

They look so solid. I wonder if the fur is softer than it looks.

Those things are capable of generating a bite force of up to 1,100 pounds per square inch. Cute but I'd count my fingers after playing

You can absolutely do this. It is however very expensive. It may cost you an arm and a leg.

A shattered arm and a leg broken in several places.

It's actually closer to a cat than a dog. I learned that from Batman.

Don't get your hyena facts from Batman, he only knows bats.

It's true though, hyenas are feliforms.

Cat software on dog hardware, while foxes are dog software on cat hardware.
