Welcome to another installment of Things we maybe should have included in a caption, but didnt. This time, we have photos of a guy named Hassan Shwaykani, playing with his pet hyenas at his home.
The pictures show him and his wife lovingly enjoying the hyenas. But while the captions do say he is a hunter of dangerous animals, they don’t say how the decision to keep them indoors instead of in an outdoor “hyena house” seems to be working out.
For instance, how many other Mrs. Shwaykanis have there been? Do the hyenas mind being hit on the snout with a rolled-up magazine when they misbehave? Are any of Shwaykani’s limbs artificial? And does the word “stay” mean the same thing to hyenas that it does to my dogs, which is to say, nothing at all?

Now, there’s a couple of hyenas that won’t be looking furtively over their haunches for Mr. Lion as they wolf down their Alpo.

- Posted by NelsonThey have among the strongest jaws on earth and they’re really smart.
I wonder if he shares his dangerous animal kills with them.
That said and out of the way, they are kind of cute.
They are stunningly adorable… I guess basic grooming makes a huge difference.
