spotted hyena, laughing hyena (Crocuta crocuta)


SPOTTED HYENAS. The Hyenas, although their vices have heen greatly exaggerated by tradition, have much that is repulsive, both in appear-ance ami character. Largest of the family is the Spotted Hysena, deriving its name from the brown spots on its yellowish gray fur. The picture shows the characteristics ot these animals. They have found a carcass which they are preparing to devour, while the envious Vultures, which they have driven away, hover above. The stout body, neck and head, the powerful jaws that enable these beasts to crunch large bones, the thick neck affording room for the wide throat, are all well shown here. (Crocuta crocuta)
