(WXYZ) — Monica, a Detroit resident, thought she was walking away with a newborn puppy several weeks ago after she says a man was handing them out at Papaya Fruit Market at Warren Ave and Mettetal St. in Detroit.

“He told me it was a German Shepherd puppy,” said Monica.

Immediately smitten, Monica says in the days and weeks that followed, she noticed something was off and that the animal was a tremendous jumper.

People who keep wolves as pets don’t really understand the difference between domesticated and wild. A brother’s wife got a half-wolf, and fortunately my brother had enough sense to not let it in the house.

There was an interesting NOVA show about the origins of dogs, and one segment was the story of a Russian scientist who, over 25 generations, bred domesticated foxes. The contrast between the wild foxes and the domesticated ones was amazing.

She knew something was wrong when the only trick it could learn was “scavenge the carcass.”

They supposedly estimate captive orca bite strength at around 19,000lbs per square inch.

Videos show why owning an adult hyena is a very bad idea.

Check them out. Scientists haven't yet placed them in the cat or canine groups.

An enigma...

That might actually be a female hyena. They have some weird stuff going on.

“ Female spotted hyenas have dramatically masculinized external genitalia including an elongated hypertrophied clitoris that resembles the male penis. In addition, the resemblance of their fused vaginal labia to male physiology led to the terminology pseud-scrotum. A urogenital sinus, where the urethra joins the reproductive tract, traverses this pseudo-penis. (Cunha et al, 2003) This enables hyenas to urinate through their pseudo-penis just as males do. Lacking an external vagina, the female spotted hyena’s vagina is located internally inside the abdomen-pelvic cavity. (Cunha et al, 2003)”

Well this is disappointing but makes more sense than the story itself.

Couldn’t figure out how a Hyena got to Detroit in the first place…….
Now I know.
