In nature, there are many ferocious animals, such as wolves, lions, tigers, etc. Among canines, in addition to Tibetan mastiffs and bulldogs, there is a very special kind of "dog", which is the "hyena". Although its name has a certain connection with dogs, many people will think it is a canid when they see it, but in fact this animal, known as the second brother of Africa, is a "hyena".

Anyone who has watched documentaries often knows that hyenas are powerful medium-sized beasts that collectively hunt large and medium-sized herbivores such as gazelles, zebras, and wildebeests, and can even kill a half-ton African wild buffalo. Animals are also known to be "opportunists". In addition to hunting themselves, they often snatch prey captured by other carnivores, such as leopards and even lions. But why are "hyenas" so ferocious and capable of breaking bones in one bite afraid of Africans? Netizen: I’m scared after reading this!

In fact, most Africans like to keep hyenas. No matter how hot-tempered they are, Africans don’t seem to be afraid of them, and they even keep them as pets. Mainly because Africans use brutal methods to train hyenas. It is said that when they train hyenas, they will take a thick wooden stick and hit the hyenas if they are disobedient. They will also cover the hyenas' mouths with something to prevent them from hurting people and moaning loudly. So over time, these fierce hyenas immediately became very docile when they saw the stick.

And when a hyena is tamed, it not only becomes a pet and helps its owner with work, but also goes out to perform to earn money for its owner. On weekdays, you can also look after homes and homes for them. They look like homes, and their safety factor is much higher than that of ordinary domestic dogs. I believe that no one desperately wants to try running next to a hyena. In fact, Africans have tamed hyenas for a long time, so hyenas generally do not attack humans. Therefore, many netizens do not support African dog training methods. After all, they are also members of the earth. They are also made of flesh and blood and are afraid of pain and death.
