TW: Death during childbirth mentioned; violence during grief

First time ever drawing a canon TLK character that wasn't a lion! And I kinda botched it a bit with the muzzle. And I'm trying to work in other added details that may or may not stick after looking at the TLK hyenas again.
Anyway, this happens when Chidi is born and as I put in her and Zara's bios, Zara doesn't make it. Because of how close I imagine Zara and Shenzi being (rather ironic, considering how hyenas are like but TLK kind of humanizes these animals), Shenzi does not take her death lightly and attacks Zara's mate (no name yet and his design is still being decided). Shenzi only snaps out of it when someone shouts that one of the pups was okay. She tells Zara's mate to get out and not come back which he follows. Chidi isn't told anything about him as she grows up with her aunt.

Zara's mate- me
