Translation of "Tüpfelhyäne" in English

Now, the brain of the spotted hyena is unusually large in relation to its body size.

The exhibition at Studio Voltaire also included a sculpture of such a spotted hyena.

The spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) is spread throughout the whole Sub-Saharan Arica and further to the south.

The Spotted Hyena is the most numerous large predator in the Serengeti Ecosystem and throughout sub-Saharan Africa.

In East Africa, Tabwa mythology portrays the spotted hyena as a solar animal that first brought the sun to warm the cold earth.

The family structure of the spotted hyena is matriarchal, and dominance relationships with strong sexual elements are routinely observed between related females.

A pitbull seems like a harmless puppy next to a fully-grown spotted hyena: its powerful jaws can crack the femur of a giraffe or a hippopotamus.

Although the Spotted Hyena suffers from a bad public image and human prejudices, it is in reality a unique and fascinating animal and a keystone species in the Serengeti Ecosystem.

This unusual anatomy makes hyenas difficult to sex, and has been the basis for many myths regarding hermaphroditism in this species - especially when "males" captured for zoos subsequently gave birth to cubs!

You can find on our farms Corona and Picadilly jackals, hyenas, baboons, steenbuck, warthogs and a small but increasing herd of springbucks.

Strong food-competitor, the smaller herd in the rule of the beaten loot drives away, the more powerful dot-hyena is, against whom only strong game-dog-herds can assert themselves.

You will also have the opportunity to shoot other animals, even if they are of lower density than the game presented above: the little bustard, hare, ganga, green pigeon, guinea fowl the palmyra pigeon rock hen, quail, geese and armed duck, baboon, the spotted hyena, the cane rat, crocodile.

Biologists assume, for example, that the spotted hyena is now found in savannas and arid regions of Africa and the Middle East because it is perfectly adapted to their specific conditions, such as high temperatures and aridity.

A spotted hyaena approaches with his typical amble, but then sits down and keeps a respectful distance, not daring to come closer.

Thus, the flexibility that spotted hyenas exhibit in responding to variable food resources has contributed to their great success throughout the Serengeti Ecosystem.

Already externally, the smaller, striped hyena-types (Hyaena) of the bigger, spotted dot-hyena (Crocuta) deviate.

Therefore the book begins with a detailed presentation of the five relevant species coming into consideration: the spotted hyaena, the brown hyaena, the striped hyaena, the aardwolf [superfamily Feloidea], and the African wild dog [superfamily Canoidea].

There, where the hyenas of the feed-competition with the essentially stronger lions are exposed, also nothing at all often remains for them other, as before-dear-increases with that, what lion, hyena-dog and dot-hyena leave remaining. However, small animals and house-livestock easily to be carried off are not spurned.

In the analysis of egyptological material, ignorance or misinterpretation of facts in the fields of zoology or behavioural biology frequently give rise to mistakes and confusion. Therefore the book begins with a detailed presentation of the five relevant species coming into consideration: the spotted hyaena, the brown hyaena, the striped hyaena, the aardwolf [superfamily Feloidea], and the African wild dog [superfamily Canoidea]. Subsequently, images of striped hyaena of the dynastic period are investigated. They appear for fattening, as sacrifices, hunting kill and wild animal, hunting assistant, as well as in other contexts.
