Hyenas are an African animal that look similar to a large dog. The most common type of hyena is the Spotted Hyena. Hyena cubs are born with black hair, which eventually lighten ups and turns spotted. Lorelai has always been fascinated with hyenas because of the Lion King. These cackling animals have very strong jaws and live in clans.
