I did research for these guys in 12th grade. They are my favorite species of hyena! They’ll only eat meat if it’s thoroughly ground or cooked.

I’m pretty sure we can domesticate these guys.

hyena positivity that focuses on spotted hyenas only is so fake. if you don’t love brown and striped hyenas then get out. if you don’t love aardwolves I can’t even look at you oh my god

Proteles cristata

Throughout history, there have been two types of hyenas: bone-crushing hyenas, and dog-like ones. Spotted, striped, and brown hyenas are the bone-crushing type. Of the dog-like hyenas, the aardwolf is the only species left.

Aardwolf means "Earthwolf" in Afrikaans, a language spoken in Southern Africa. Their use of burrows is what earned them the "earth" part of their name. Although wolf is also in its name and it looks very dog-like, aardwolves are not canines. They are the smallest of four hyena species, weighing around 20 pounds (9.07 kg).

Unlike the other hyena species that eat carrion, aardwolves eat insects. If they really need to they can also eat eggs, small mammals, and vegetation, but insects are preferred. Their main insect prey is termites, and they can eat up to 300,000 of them in one night using their long tongues. Their tongues are very sticky as well, with large papillae (those little tongue bumps) and sticky saliva.

Since they behave differently and are much smaller than other hyena species, scientists used to think aardwolves were not part of the hyena family. With their striped coats, researchers thought they might have even been mimicking the striped hyena.

Aardwolves are found in arid plains of eastern and southern Africa, where they live in burrows dug by aardvarks, springhares, or porcupines. Some dig their own burrows, but taking over an abandoned one is much easier. They sleep in these burrows during the day, coming out at night to hunt for insects and to hang out with friends or whatever.

I rate the Aardwolf 15/10. Little cuties :,)

Striped Hyena

[desperatelyneedcoffee]

You know how Harley Quinn has her hyaenas that go and destroy people but then absolutely adore her because she's their mother and loves them more than anything? Well I'm just thinking about Logan and Wade having a few Wolverines. Like that's their children. They cuddle with them on the sofa and take them on walks with them and dogpool. They don't feed off anyone the two kill because they typically eat small to medium sized animals but they can still be used to scare others if they're somehow not in the mood to do it themselves. Also dogpool cuddles up with them to keep warm throughout the night because she can
