Dash of the Laughing Hyena

A young hyena thunders straight ahead, paws pounding and fur bristling all over her neck and back. Spots cover her sides and her ears stand tall, pointed toward whatever mischief she’s found next. Her nose wrinkles and wide jaws part in a toothy grin, showing off sharp teeth and a bouncy sense of energy.

With every stride, tufts of grass fly beneath her busy feet while her spiky mane flares overhead. One ear flicks forward, the other sideways, as if she’s listening for the sounds of friends joining the chase. This bold hyena looks ready for a wild run across the savanna.

Fun Fact!

The "cackling" or "giggling" sounds of a hyena are some of the most recognizable and eerie sounds of the African night.

  3. 3 Dots of black or dark gray make her spots look wild.
  4. 4 Draw whiskers with a thin black or gray pencil.
