Hyena
Hyenas are the animals of the family Hyaenidae. There are only four species
(i.e., spotted hyena, brown hyena, striped hyena and aardwolf). Hyenas
are often found in sub-Saharan Africa. Aardwolves are the small insectivorous
animals. However, other hyenas have very hardy jaws, and they can crunch
even hard bones which a lion did not eat. Especially, spotted hyenas are
large vicious attack animals. For example, striped hyenas are called the
scavenger of savanna as they often scavenge leftovers of a lion. On the
other hands, spotted hyenas hunt by themselves the animals such as zebras
and gnus. However, a lion sometimes grabs the hunted preies away from hyenas.
Spotted hyenas have blackish spots in their brownish yellow bodies, and
they often cry strangely as if humans laugh. It is generally recognized
that hyenas are savage and dangerous animals, and that they are disliked
and unpopular animals. |

Hyena(?)'s mother, "Buchi"
To tell the truth, hyena's mother, "Buchi" appeared in the picture
book and this website is not a hyena. She is unilaterally called the hyena
because she is somehow similar in appearance to a hyena, especially, spotted
hyena. However, Buchi is not good at hunting the animals. Buchi is not
able to crunch the bones as they are too hard. Of course, Buchi is weak
in a lion. Although Buchi sometimes cries strangely, it is true that Buchi
is not a hyena. |
