RitaGlad to see new faces. Hope to getthere soon to see them and learn more about hyenas; I know so little about them.
Welcome!

Nancy McDanielHow exciting to have hyenas! Finally we can disabuse visitors of the notion that the wild dogs are hyenas and show them the differences! A great learning experience. Plus the fact that hyenas are really interesting animals. I'm eager to see them

lincoln park zooNancy, we agree--it's a great teaching opportunity to share the differences between hyenas and African wild dogs!

BradyI love spotted hyenas. I hope I can see them soon.

Girl hyenas are larger than boy hyenas.
