The term purring has been used liberally in literature, and it has been claimed that viverrids (civet, mongoose, genet), bears, badgers, hyaenas (et cetera) purr.
Animals recorded here at the end of the 18th century included lions, tigers, hyaenas and bears.
Lycyaena was a cursorial hunting hyaena as opposed to full time scavenger.
As with their predecessors and neighbouring farmers, they suffered high losses to predators, especially the spotted hyaena.
Recent research document excavations of a fossil bone bed, possibly resulting from the accumulation by hyaenas and redepostion by dongas (i.e., gullies).
She defends them from predators such as lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyaenas.
Fossil remains of lion, giraffe, hyaena and many other animal species have been discovered from areas around.
In hyaenas, the reverse is true, and males exhibit more neuroticism than females, because they are consistently more high-strung and nervous.
