Hyena!

[femme-enby]

Spotted hyena! They’re very social animals and exhibit complex rituals for courtship, greeting, and dominance. Their vocalizations are pretty varied. Vocal communications include squeaks, whines, growls, whoops, chatter, and their characteristic nervous/excited “laughter”!

Check out these yeens from the Oakland Zoo!

my inbox and twitter both informed me that not only does International Hyena Day exist, but that it’s today! I couldn’t let this important occasion go by without drawing something, and I finished this just in time with only an hour to spare. Happy special day to these four special creatures. 

(from left to right: brown hyena, striped hyena, spotted hyena, aardwolf)

(it’s also apparently World Tapir Day! Another special animal. But I ran out of drawin’ juice and out of time. I’m so sorry, tapirs. I still love you, I promise)

This extra-small hyena cub was up and about first thing in the morning, while its litter mates slept in the den below. Hyena cubs have very dark fur at birth, and develop their distinctive spots or stripes (depending on the species) as they grow.

wish I’d been a bit more confident about this one, and hadn’t given her a skirt. I wasn’t sure how it would be received at the studio at the time

Fun fact:

Hyenas, if kept in cold climates, will grow shaggy coats in the winter
