The animated cartoon The Lion King is very classic. Friends who like to watch the animal world will like to watch it. So, do you know what the name of the dog in the cartoon The Lion King is? In fact, the dog in The Lion King is called a hyena. The hyena in the cartoon is a villain who likes to fight against Simba, the Lion King. Let me introduce to you what a hyena is like!
In fact, in the African grasslands, hyenas often work in teams to round up large animals such as antelopes and zebras. They display high IQs and have been feuding with lions for generations in order to compete for prey. In real life, it's like this.
At Hangzhou Wildlife World, we saw three striped hyenas for the first time, one male and two females. They come from Ghana, Africa. They are still in their infancy and are currently being kept in the isolation area of Hangzhou Wildlife World. Their hair is sparse and fluffy, with stripes on their limbs and body, and a long tuft of mane on their back. Seeing the camera, several hyenas appeared restless and ran around the room. Interestingly, although hyenas are called dogs, they are not dogs.
Hyaena (scientific name: Hyaenidae): mammal, a medium-sized terrestrial carnivore that lives in Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Asia and the Indian subcontinent. They belong to the same family, with only 4 genera and 4 species, and can be divided into 2 subfamilies: Hyena and Hyena. The body is like a dog, with a long neck, hind limbs shorter and weaker than the forelimbs, a shorter body, high shoulders and low hips; there are long mane hairs on the dorsal midline behind the neck; large teeth, with thick tapered premolars, cleft teeth are developed, and the molars are degenerated. The jaws are thick and strong and can bite open bones. Hyenas (striped hyenas) are small and covered with stripes. They mostly live alone and rely on their well-developed sense of smell to forage for carrion. Brown hyenas are larger and are found on the coast of southwestern Africa. They often go to the beach to hunt for crabs, fish, etc. Spotted hyenas are only found in Africa. They are larger and hunt in groups. In addition to eating carrion, they can also hunt antelopes. Coyotes are specialized anteaters.
Distributed in Africa, Arabian Peninsula, Asia and the Indian subcontinent. On December 23, 2015, we learned from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that fossils of the Neohyena of Periya more than 4 million years ago were discovered in the Zanda Basin in the Ngari region of Tibet, China. After years of fossil research, experts said that this discovery is the first appearance of a large bone-crushing hyena on the Tibetan Plateau, and is of great significance for studying the origin, diversity and paleogeographic distribution of hyenas.
What is the image of hyena in your mind? Is it the same as the one described in the play?
