@Gammu That is EXACTLY why uploaded this video, ever since lion king hyenas have gotten such a bad wrap... dont get me wrong i LOVED the lion king but what'ya gonna do?!
Personally, I'm not sure why so many people think The Lion King gave hyenas a bad rap. The hyenas in the movie don't seem so villainous when you realize that the only reason they joined Scar is because they were starving, and they were starving because the lions wouldn't let them hunt in the Pridelands. Also, they really are awesome characters.
@Omnigeek6 i agree, but a villain is a villain and people never realize that a bad backstory, or significant reason that drove them to do those things. to them they are the bad guys..... thats that...
@Omnigeek6 well people don't usually see the hyenas as starving animals forced to act like that because of the circumstances, all they see are more disney villains, being bad just to be bad.
Ahh, I see. It's sad isn't it. TLK is (in my personal opinion) one the the best Disney movies because it has more than just black and white morality... and half the audience doesn't actually see the shades of gray.
Unfortunately, I have no adorable hyena videos to upload, so I figure the best way for me to help improve the reputation of this under-appreciated species is to improve that of the under-appreciated characters which are referenced half the time when hyenas are mentioned on this site.
Nice. I always love to find new (to me) hyena videos. Hopeful footage like this will help dispel the animus so many people have against the hyena.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're getting at. Would you mind rephrasing that?
