Last night on the Science Channel, I saw a documentary where a film maker followed a pack of hyenas in his jeep, day and night, for like a year. By the end, he was able to sit on the ground with his movie camera, and they would come around and nuzzle him like golden retrievers. Mind you, 4 hyenas will attack and drive off or tree one lioness. Pretty crazy, but the hyenas “accepted” him as a member.
That is truly bizarre. I’ve seen some of the stuff about hyenas as actually among the top predators, not just scavengers.
I don’t care, they are still about the ugliest and creepiest animals on the planet.
