Never assume a wild animal is house pet material.

I was looking into getting a pet otter. They are so cute and happy. Very hard to obtain. Even keepers of rare pets don’t sell them.

Sent me a video of a family of otters tearing apart a 15 foot crocodile that invaded their space. I think it is on YouTube. 7 otters attacked, 5 survived.

And they carried out their 2 dead.

Like feral hogs, these animals are only good for target practice and killing.

It was the Tokoloshe, not hyenas. I guarantee it. As any Southern African African. They are all deathly afraid of the Tokoloshe and in fact raise their beds up many feet off the ground to avoid this kind of problem.

Same can be said of a feral dog or cat raised in the wild away from humans.

I’m surprised it didn’t happen in Portland.

No, in the wilds of Africa they clean up carrion, like the vultures, all part of the eco system.

Living in a mud hut with a .357 under the pillow. That would be a manly sense of priorities.

The worst part about a hyena attack is are they laughing at you or with you.

It’s what happens when you don’t have a lock on your hut’s front door. Or when you don’t have a door.

What good did Independence do for the Blacks in Zimbabwe?They gained their Independence from the White Run government in 1979 and have done nothing to improve the standard of living there. No wonder the guy was dragged out of his hut and killed by a crew of Hyenas.
