A Ridgeback Hyena is a member of the Hyaenidae family primarily found in East Africa. Much like its cousin, the aardwolf, Ridgeback Hyenas feed on insects to sustain themselves. It is the second largest member of the Hyaenidae family, surpassed only by the spotted hyena. However, this is where the similarities between Ridgeback Hyenas and other hyenas end.
Ridgeback Hyenas exhibit a far more friendly and approachable personality compared to its cousins, allowing them to be tamed and turned into loyal housepets. They get their names from the characteristic "ridge" of fur running down their backs, but perhaps their most notable feature are their wacky colours and the "mist" excreted from openings by their ribs and on their backsides. It is believed to be caused by consuming toxic waste dumped into the waters that they drink from. This mist is in no way harmful to the hyena or those around it, and appears to be solely cosmetic.
Bzz bzz! A bee hyena for you all. No, it's not actually a bee - the wings are very much fake. Possibly crafted from a combination of plastic and bubble wrap. Further examination needed. Shoutout to Jean for inspiration, my brain was of no use
What's Easter without an Easter egg hunt? I have hidden this egg here in one of my previous posts.
The first person to find it (and link me back to said page!) wins this guy!
