A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Lycaon pictus
then the zoo is very wrong. this is definitely "Lycaon pictus". check the link supplied with the suggestion>
Thanks for the suggestion, Corey, it certainly looks very similar to a dog (facial structure reminds me of a German Sheppard) but the zoo identifies it as Hyena.
thanks, Ismael, it gives me great pleasure to be able to share them with everyone on Project Noah. I'm learning heaps about the animals from others :)
