This hyena was happily chewing on some bone thing until the other hyena came over and started chasing her at the Bronx Zoo.
I was in the gift shop buying a couple hyena plushies because one can never have enough of those, when I saw a little boy about 3 years old holding onto a little hyena plush. I was thinking yeah you go kid! He told his mom he wanted to get that one, and the mother said to him, "That's a hyena! Hyenas are vicious! I don't want you getting that!" This made me angry, but I kept my mouth shut. The mother suggested he get a lion or vampire bat plush instead! I guess hyenas are so vicious and terrible even in plush form that they will corrupt your children and destroy your home.

I have a hyena plush that stands guard over my desk. Favorite plush <3 Hyena's have a bad rap, they're no where near as bad as everyone seems to automatically think they are. They quite shy and not vicious at all. If provoked then yeah like any animal they'll protect others and themselves. Hell some people even have them as pets!
