Description

When: December 4, 2021

Where: ZOOM Erlebniswelt Gelsenkirchen, Germany

They were lying there so sweetly and synchronised

I love how well you can see the differences in their faces, and how their ears can be turned so differently too! Always remember: Animals are individuals too, whether you can see it clearly or not.

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.
