Description
A spotted hyena resting on a summer day at the St. Louis Zoo. It is interesting to note it's peaceful nature as it is quite contrary to the ferocious nature popular culture often gives it. Many people think hyenas are dog-like but they are actually related to mongoose and other members of the weasel family.
