When: November 4, 2021

Where: Safaripark Beekse Bergen Hilvarenbeek, The Netherlands

He was a little too close, but *just* far away in order for the camera to still be able to focus How we love Hyenas, they really do have very cute faces.

Species: Spotted or Laughing Hyena (Gevlekte of lachende hyena)

Latin name: Crocuta Crocuta

Originates from Africa.

Current status: Least Concern

Did you know:

…The female Spotted Hyena has a pseudo-penis, making it hard to determine by looking at it whether it’s a male or female.

…It is the only mammalian species to lack an external vaginal opening.

…It counts as the most social of the Carnivora, meaning that it has the largest group sizes and most complex social behaviors, with a matriarchal hierarchy.
