Meet The Cutest Animal You’ve Never Heard Of

I don't see why everybody hates hyenas! Just because they are ugly? In this era we are trying not to judge people by their looks, why not try the same with other animals?

I never found hyenas ugly! And they are exceptionally interesting.

I'm not meaning it in any bad way. I also like hyenas, I just love aardwolves even more!

Don't you dare! Hyenas are cunning, courageous and very social. They also happen to be smarter than chimpanzees. So basically, they reunite all the qualities of Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw: they rule.

This is not to you Zori the degu, but I can agree that cutter than hyenas. This is for Nancy. Humans are dangerous and would you judge a human if they smelled bad? Would you dislike a dog because he is smelly? They are very smart creatures (perhaps smarter than you), and I don't think we should judge animals on how bad they smell and their danger level. If you are scared of them and don't want to smell them, than stay away! Please do not act condescending because I can see past that and because I am young. Remember: is they were to kill you it would be either because they need to eat or they are defending themselves, they do not kill for the fun of it as some humans do, so I think that they should not be judged by what they have to do to survive and their smell (you couldn't have found a better thing not to like them for?). Bye lazy panda who forgot to write something about yourself! I am going to kiss my slightly smelly rats, very smelly dog, and not at all smelly dove!

Hyenas are cool (not that your statement is bad) I love the hyenas from the lion king...

You are so clueless, it HURTS! Watch this documentary about hyenas in city of Harar (Ethiopia): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbkZiDXqNxM

Termite fighting company?? Haha! Oh my god all exterminaters now need to be referred to as termite fighters!

I got the image of some kind of microscopic underground fighting ring, like a more violent version of a flea circus, before I realised what you meant!

LOL

Yeah absolutely fair comment, i just get very weary as when we tend to discover rare species they end up extinct but what you guys do is amazing, i have been to a few conservation parks around the world and volunteered and i know it is a hard job, i donate roughly 10% of my salary each month to different animal charities around the world too, my comment only came from love for wildlife and the need to let them be and free from human disturbance.

The termite soldiers have painful bites and taste like turpentine, and the longer the aardwolf feeds, the more soldiers show up to play defense, until the aardwolf can’t take the bites and taste anymore, and has to leave.

Sorry to hear that. Must admit I've seen termites only on TV, because we don't have them in this part of Europe.

That's exactly what giant anteaters do as well.
