How about that? Am I the only one who thinks these guys are absolutely crazy. Granted, these creatures are not as dangerous as big cats but they posses the strongest jaws in the animal kingdom (w.r.t. psi).

Baboon or hyenas?

 

[spidey07]

In nigeria they would be very useful as defense or attack dogs.

I was watching "Bizzare Foods with Andrew Zimern" the other night and he was in Nigeria. The locals brought him over to a pack of Hyenas and they were petting them. The locals let the Hyenas in their town overnight to eat all the trash in the streets.

Those pics have been around for several years but I always find them fascinating. It's a reminder of how different Africa is than the US of A, that's for sure. I can't imagine hyenas are really domesticatable, but don't they normally eat carrion, as opposed to hunting? They might not be all that vicious.

EDIT: Check out this photo series, as well as this one, both of the "hyena men" of Nigeria. These are some bad dudes.

Yikes, I think my wife is going to buy a dog in the next month or two, I sure hope she doesn't decide to get one of those.

Give her shit for buying a dog, then eventually side with her and allow her. When it comes your turn to buying a new toy, you will have ammo in your pouch sir.

Weird... a couple of those shots don't look natural, almost like photochop.

Have you been stalking me for the last couple of years??? That is exactly what has transpired, with me starting from the position that I didn't want a dog in the house (the truth actually) to me finally agreeing she can have a dog, She now knows she owes me.

I want one!

I always wondered if they laugh hysterically like in The Lion King.
I bet they most certainly do not, which is just terrible racism by Disney! For shame!
It would be most awesome if they did behave hysterically as portrayed.

Yeah, hyenas are really nasty animals. The whole laughing thing would be scary as fuck if you were trying to survive out in the wilderness.

Definitely. Through a computer monitor, or at a zoo, their noises, like laughing, is rather hysterical.
But hearing that shit in the wild? Those sounds are disturbing as all hell and I'd probably be pissing myself knowing those things are out there, laughing at me as they plot my demise.

Can't we go for another ride?

:music: Oooh you're the best friend that I ever had :music:

And on that note... monkeys in human clothes have a disturbing look to them. They're like... hairier, tinier us.
