scothunter 12,609 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Well I assume if a circus or that wanted a lion or tiger or even a bull elephant, don't think it would turn out well , if they got an adult straight out the jungle. No need to swear at me either . I'm A sensitive soul! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kenny14 656 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) do they take them as pups and train them ?? can anyone answer this ?? According to this they get them young: Although a few people in Africa and Asia find very young hyaenas in nature and raise them as pets, these animals generally appear to be extremely unhappy as “domestic companions” as adults, and must often be kept muzzled at all times so that they do not harm people or property. A muzzle prevents the hyaena from being able to groom itself properly. As spotted hyaenas need several years of practice to become proficient hunters, and as they are deprived of this practice when reared as pets, it is effectively a death sentence for a captive-reared hyaena to be released into the wild. In addition, pet hyaenas cannot be released for fear that they might transfer new pathogens from captive environments into the wild. Upon reaching adulthood, many "pet" hyaenas must therefore be euthanized. Edited July 5, 2012 by kenny14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
