Hyena

I guess it is possible to have a pet hyena. They're still incredibly strong and frightening, though. Like, they had one in the Tower of London which tore up a floorboard in its enclosure "without any apparent effort", and they do eat bones. Just kind of munch them down. Like pretzels. The only land animal with a stronger bite is the Tazmanian Devil, which also eats bones.

I'm fascinated by that picture. At first i thought it was fake, because of the unnatural stance of the hyena on the ground, but then hyenas always look unnatural to me because i'm used to looking at dogs, and hyenas aren't even closely related to dogs. Also, i thought that the absurdly thick chain part of the leash was just for the gnarly look, but then i remembered that hyenas munch bones like pretzels. Anything not thick steel would present a mere mild annoyance to any hyena wishing to be liberated of its leash.

Woa! The pic looks real but looks tweaked, like the background looks slightly mono chromed or washed out with some filter… this really gives the chap and his hyena a menacing upfront look. What a great capture!
