Spotted Hyena

Crocuta crocuta

Laurel and Hardy

Spotted Hyenas can be found in Slovakia only in Malkia Park

ZOO na Hrádečku is a Czech private zoo since 2016. The parents of our male hyenas were rescued from the worst conditions from private breeding in poor health. They were told they were two males (the external genitalia of male and female hyenas are identical, so it is not clear at first glance whether they are male or female).
One day, however, the cubs were born, and at first they were able to be with their parents, but as they grew up, there were disagreements with their father and a new home had to be found for them.
There was a vacancy in Malkia Park and with the tremendous help of volunteers and our caretakers, we quickly created an enclosure for the hyenas where they have everything they need.

The forelimbs are considerably longer than the hind limbs, giving the hyena a knocked-down appearance. The head is very large and massive, hiding very strong jaws. The coat is short with a mane on the shoulders. The colour tends to be sandy to reddish brown with dark spots on the body and legs. Paws, snout, and tail are darker, the belly is lighter.
