Here on Spotted hyena Forums, i find it important that you at least know something about spotted hyena's! Instead of making a new catergory, I decided to post here saying things like, what this forum is about, why i made it, and stuff like that! info on the spotted hyena (and pics!) are going here too.
Why i made this forum: I would have made a chat site, but that costs money, which I don't have. So I made a forum where you can pretend to be a hyena in different enviroments. Ive made two enviroments (in Role Play.) but I would like to see enviroments other people work on. I'm currently tinkering with the rules so people can make their own enviroments that OTHER people can base their characters life on. Role playing is very fun, so I hope you all try it. I also made this forum to show people the real beauty of the hyena. (would you believe there are hardly any pics of one on Tinypic.com?)
Pics and facts:
The Spotted Hyena, or Laughing Hyena, (Crocuta crocuta) is a carnivorous mammal of the family hyaenidae. It is the largest of the hyenas, and is native to sub-Saharan Africa, save for the Congo basin. It occurs in many different habitats, from extremely hot and arid lowland areas in is northern and southern ranges, to cold, mountainous terrains in East Africa and Ethiopia. The species can also survive near human habitations.
The species is best known for one of its vocalisations, which resembles the sound of hysterical human laughter. Though often labeled incorrectly as a scavenger, the spotted hyena is actually a powerful hunter, the majority of its nourishment being derived from live prey.

(will edit when get more information. in the mean time, why dont you find some pics and facts?)
