CW: we talk about animal genitalia in this episode in the last 30 mins (it's hard to avoid with hyenas)
Hyenas have historically been painted in a pretty negative light, only for recent PR teams to praise their strong women leaders, successful hunts, and sophisticated societies. And while we're all for praising the underdog, a lot of recent media is half truths. Let's all learn to appreciate them for what they are: rowdy stinky scavengers.
Thanks for listening to our weekly exploration of why grasslands are the best biome. We'll see you in two weeks!
