Recognizable by its swaying gait and characteristic laugh, the hyena is one of the emblematic predators of the African savannah. Often misunderstood, it is nevertheless an intelligent and social animal, living in organized clans that can number several dozen individuals.
The hyena is an efficient hunter: contrary to popular belief, it does not feed solely on carrion but captures a large portion of its prey itself. Its powerful mandibular apparatus allows it to crush bones, making it a true recycler of nature. Surprisingly, females are larger and more dominant than males, a rare characteristic among mammals.
This Papo figurine faithfully captures the hyena's unique appearance: spotted fur, rounded ears, and realistic posture. An ideal model to complete a wildlife collection, create exciting savannah scenes, or educate children about the richness of African wildlife.
