  • The Laughing Hyena by Guy Belleranti
    Name: __________________________________ The Laughing Hyena by Guy Belleranti Have you ever heard an animal laugh? Well, if you haven't, you may want to go to your local zoo and visit the hyena exhibit. These large African mammals are known for their loud, chattering laugh! The laughing hyena is another name for the largest species of hyena, the spotted hyena. While they look kind of like very large dogs they are actually more closely related to cats. However, they aren't exactly cats either. Instead, they're in a family of their own along with their smaller relatives -- the striped and brown hyenas and the insect-eating aardwolfs. Do laughing hyenas really laugh? Their cry does sound a little like laughing, but you wouldn't confuse their voices for human beings. They also make whooping calls, groans, squeals and many other noises to communicate with one another. In fact, spotted hyenas are among Africa's most vocal animals. Spotted hyenas live in groups called clans. Some clans have over 80 members. Each clan marks out a territory and it defends against other clans. Females, who are slightly larger and more aggressive than males, are in charge of the clans. Females are also great moms. They usually give birth to two cubs, and are very protective. They provide milk to their cubs for over a year. Spotted hyenas play an important role as scavengers. They clean up predator's leftovers and even garbage left by humans. With their strong jaws and teeth they can even crush and digest bones. While they are mainly meat eaters, they occasionally eat plants, too.

  • Character Breakdown BANZAI a Slick Yet Childish Hyena Who Works For
    Character Breakdown BANZAI A slick yet childish hyena who works for Scar. He would be the leader of the group if hyenas weren't so lazy. Look for an outgoing and confident actor who can portray nastiness and gruffness. As Banzai is always featured with Shenzi and Ed, consider auditioning the hyenas in trios. Male or Female, Any Age ED The third member of Scar's trio of lackeys. He has a loud, cackling laugh that is his only form of communication. Ed should be played by an actor who can laugh unabashedly and communicate through physicality and facial expressions rather than words. This role can be played by a boy or girl. Male or Female, Any Age ENSEMBLE The ensemble plays various inhabitants of the Pridelands, such as giraffes, elephants, antelopes, wildebeest, and other creatures you choose to include. This group can have as few or as many performers as your production permits. There are also several moments to showcase individual dancers in "The Lioness Hunt" and "I Just Can't Wait to Be King." HYENAS Scar's army, helping carry out his evil plot to take over the Pridelands. Hyenas are mangy, mindless creatures who sing in "Be Prepared." Male or Female, Any Age LIONESSES The fierce hunters of the Pridelands and featured in "The Lioness Hunt," "The Mourning," and "Shadowland." Female, Any Age MUFASA The strong, honorable, and wise lion who leads the Pridelands. Mufasa should command respect onstage and also show tenderness with his son, Simba. Male, Any Age NALA Grows from a cub to a lioness before she confronts Scar, so cast a more mature actress to play the character beginning in Scene 10, As with older Simba and Young Simba, ensure that this switch in actors performing a single role is clear.

(See generally Center 2012.) On May 17, 2013, NMFS issued a positive 90- day finding “that the petition present[ed] substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that the petition action may be warranted” and initiated a status review. (78 Fed. Reg. 29,098 (May 17, 2013).). On November 17, 2016, NMFS issued a determination that listing was not warranted because “the seals in Iliamna Lake do not constitute a species, subspecies, or distinct population segment (DPS) under the ESA.” (81 Fed.

  • Aspects of the Ecology of Spotted Hyena (Crocuta Crocuta) in Relation to Prey Availability, Land Use Changes and Conflict with Humans in Western Zimbabwe
    Aspects of the ecology of spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) in relation to prey availability, land use changes and conflict with humans in western Zimbabwe Mlamuleli Mhlanga Submitted in fulfilment of the academic requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY In the Discipline of Ecological Sciences In the School of Life Sciences College of Agriculture, Engineering and Science University of KwaZulu-Natal Pietermaritzburg Campus 2018 ii ABSTRACT Patch selection by carnivores is affected by various factors including availability of prey and denning areas, extent of vegetation cover, competition from sympatric large carnivores and anthropogenic habitat change among other variables. Understanding the influence of such factors is fundamental in the management of the carnivores. The study investigated spotted (i) hyena occupancy and (ii) co-occurrence with mesocarnivores in Zambezi National Park, Matetsi Safari (hunting) Area and Dimbangombe Ranch (mixed livestock and wildlife) in western Zimbabwe during the dry and wet seasons of 2014 and 2015 using camera traps. First, habitat characteristics, potential major prey and possible disturbance factors were modelled using the occupancy modelling approach to quantify habitat occupancy of the spotted hyena. It was found that the spotted hyena mean site occupancy was high (ψ = 0.617, SE = 0.147 and ψ = 0.502, SE = 0.107 for wet and dry seasons respectively). Furthermore, spotted hyena habitat occupancy increased in clayey soil and grasslands in the national park and hunting area, a behaviour attributed to denning preferences and possibly prey movement. Management priorities should focus on improving habitats for wild prey outside protected areas while preserving clayey areas for enhanced productivity of the spotted hyena inside protected areas.
