Hurray I found a lovely, little hyena :-D

Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated by hyenas.
Ok, they are scavengers, but Nature needs those also

I was extremely happy to find this little guy in a small flock of Minis that I got this week :


Here is the tribe I have so far :




The large hyena also came with mask, but I have never seen him for sale yet
I have no info about the guy to the left. Perhaps he is older than the others ?


It is interesting that the "masked painting" looks somewhat like the one from AAA.
The Bullyland hyenas first came in 1993. At that time Bullyland also sold AAA-models, but they never sold the AAA-hyena, as far as I know .

A cool tribe you've got, Susanne!

Thankyou, Kirill

Congrats Susanne! you have fabulous herd of hyenas.

Ohhh,this little guy is CUTE!!
You've got a great Bullyland Hyena collection Susanne. How big are they?

Sorry, fortunately I was lucky to get a picture as the Schleich racoon was telling something about how often they should wash their paws

At least she is not green

Puppy or cub
In Danish we call the Hvalpe ( Puppies).
I don`t know in English, - perhaps puppies in British-English and cubs in American - English ?

Both versions are correct, I think.

In Portuguese we use the same word to all of them! Cria!
I think cub is better for hyenas, the dog appearance make us think in pups but they are not canides or dog related. Pup are used also with seal and sharks!
Cub is used with many carnivores! But, as none of them are scientific expressions both are accepted! :)

Roger, this is amazing
I always thought hyenas were a sort of dog, - but it seems it is more in the family of a CIVET
I would never ever have looked it up if you had not written this, because I was so sure of myself
What a wonderful day ! I learned something I would never have thought I did not know



Abut the name of offspring, - in Danish the offspring of tigers are kittens, but the offspring of lions are "unger", meaning "Young ones".

"Unger" is used for all young animals that are not kittens, foals, puppies, calves, lambs or other offspring with their own name.
A bird or a turtle or a lion or a monkey or blackbird or a fish etc have "unger".

Thanks Susanne! It is nice to know that I can give some helpful information to someone that is always teaching me so many interesting things!

Wow, so much info about hyenas and its naming in different languages)) Thanks!

I never new that they aren't dogs, actually. Thank you once ore, Roger))

Congrats on your new , old and rare hyena cub Susanne!
You do have a fantastic group of Bullyland hyena's!
I only have an unpainted green version of the cub, which i got from Christophe long ago.
This was on top of a pencil, as they had theses series to as you probably know.
