Mysterious beasts let out a savage laughter

The spotted hyena has a sound like a laugh, with a savage laugh. Because of that, they are also known as laughing or funny hyenas. They are in the hyena family, the carnivorous family.

Its scientific name is Crocuta crocuta . They are the largest hyenas and native species of the area around the Sahara. They have a height of nearly 1m, an average weight of 85kg. Female hyenas are much bigger than males. They live in many different climatic environments, from very hot arid lowlands to cold mountains in East Africa.

They are wild animals, but they like to live near human habitats. They are extremely aggressive species, so they are not afraid of humans. On the contrary, humans have to respect this wild animal a few parts.

First-time visitors to the land around the Sahara, with their hair on their backs when the middle of the night was empty, from a quiet space, suddenly had a shrill and bizarre laugh. But for the natives, they were too familiar with that ghostly cry. They make that sound when they call the flock, when hunting, when they call their partners.

Each hyena has a different cry, but through its cry of laughter, indigenous people can know information about the age and position in its herd. Spotted hyenas are carnivorous. Their food is quite junk. They ate the corpse and the corpse. Therefore, they are misunderstood as scavengers.

Hyena lions are powerful and violent predators. Considering the power, they were just behind the lion when they were alone. When they follow the pack, the lion must yield to them. Its prey from small birds, to wild buffalo, gaur, deer, even elephants, rhinos, are several dozen times larger than them. With very sharp teeth, strong jaws, strength, agility, and collective coordination, they take down any large animal.

Because of their high herd count, sometimes they rob the lion. African newspapers are extremely fierce species, talented hunters are also often robbed of their prey by this species. Despite their skillful hunting, they are interested in robbing prey from other animals. Therefore, they are considered to be the most greedy predators on the planet, when they are omnivorous, eat well, they have a habit of robbing them.

Instead of having to hunt hard, they lay on the sun and face up to the sky to watch swarms of vultures and crows. Seeing these two species appear, he knew that they knew that the scavengers or prey were destroyed. They just run in the direction of vultures, crows and will know that the prey area has been killed.

Scientists say the ancestor of the spotted hyena is a zebra hyena. They separated from the zebra hyena during the Pliocene period, about 1.8 million years ago. Their ancestors were scavengers. However, spotted hyenas evolved into new species and switched to hunting instead of just scavengers.

They also develop 2 front limbs, making the forelimbs longer and stronger than the second limb. Their teeth can rip the skin of the toughest animals. Although this animal has an evil nature, it is like to plunder, but they are a symbol of solidarity. If a spotted hyena is fighting with other animals, they will not be afraid of their life and fighting to save the same kind.

If the spotted hyenas are bloody, even if they are far away, they will fight harder to protect each other. According to the researchers, the female hyenas are more collective and the hyenas inherit this behavior from their mother.

Scientists at the University of Michigan have discovered that mother hyenas have given children hormones that stimulate aggression. It is a prerequisite to help them win the survival struggles. Therefore, the spotted hyenas live in matriarchy. Children are always more aggressive, cruel, stronger than males. Of course, they also lead the male hyenas.
