I love those BBC documentaries !

I just watched The Big Cat Diary on tv.

There were following 3 mothers: Bibi the lioness, Bella the leopard and Kike the cheetah.

I was so behind Kike protecting her cubs against that evil hyena!!!

I could spend hours watching wildlife films. I really need to go to Tanzania next year...

Why is it that hyenas are always portrayed or thought of as evil?

Did you know that hyenas are a member of the same superfamily that includes mongooses, cats, and civets? Spotted hyenas are the most aggressive; and among that species the females are larger and more aggressive than the males. But HEY!! You would be two if the medial preoptic area and adjacent anterior hypothalamus was the most masculinized of any mammalian species. Not to mention that you give birth through your pseudopenis, which stretches out to accomodate your litter. Hey! You'd be mean too!
