Look at this guy! I think hyenas are super cute! With those neck muscles and their incredibly strong jaws they easily crunch large bones and eat any leftover of what lions cannot chew. They have a bad reputation as scavengers (you must have seen the Lion King right?) and they surely will chase lions and leopards away from their kills but they are actually super successful and clever hunters themselves. They can pick up a Leopard or Lion killing an animal from 10 kilometres away and their whooping at night is one of those iconic sounds that you may hear when spending your night in the bush as hyenas tend to gather to hunt and call each other when they are up to something. I love listening to this sound as I think they are just fascinating! Did you know that once they used to live in Europe as well?
