Hyena Jake with best friend Bryan Hawn

[MrQvirinvs]

congratulations! beautiful animal! um dos meus animais preferidos.

[AnimalsLover76]

It also always makes me cry, i wonder, why can't we all live like this with our brothers and sisters, we are all the same!

What a beautiful video!

[amm019]

Saw you two on Animal Planet, quite a deal. To tell you the truth, when I heard that you actually kept a hyena in your apartment, I was like "WHOAH, first the guy with the tiger in New York, now this?"

Though I have certain deals about you keeping a hyena in a apartment, I have to say that what you did for him in the end was great. I know that it is painful (believe me), but you sending him there is a true expression of love. At least you didn't get a female, I heard that they are DANGEROUS.

[YourFaithfulStudent]

So now my eyes are stinging, haha. That is so precious~ <3 Once again, I'm so proud of you for being strong & thoughtful enough to give Jake a better environment. and I'm so happy you still get to be with him a lot! I think your relationship with Jake has the most love of any I've seen on Fatal Attractions, especially since you loved him enough to do what you did. And Jake obviously loves you too, he looks so happy! God bless~

[PashaGopa1]

I saw you and Jake on Animal Planet's Fatal Attraction. I admire what you did for Jake at the end by making sure he was given a proper placement somewhere, as not a lot of people would have done what you did. I think you are a wonderful person and a wonderful man. You proved that Spotted Hyenas are capable of giving and receiving love. Thank you.

[BennyBenedikt]

[1a2b3c108]

The love is beautiful! xD

wow very pretty tame hyena,,,

keep up fun love play good time,,,

hyena is a dog family

[erigais]

@bestamerica hyena is not related to a dog at all, closer to a cat but its own family actually.

[ScisMacGillicutty]

How old was the hyena when this movie was taken? At least in the first two scenes (OK, I got impatient and want to ask my question) he looks like his coat is still fluffy, so he'd be an older cub, right? From say six to nine months?

Maybe I'll find out you're already doing this when I Google "Bryan Hawn Jake" when the video is done, but you should blog about day to day life with Jake.

[Pixel3]

Damn this guy really loves his Hyena ..

[BryHawn]

Feel Free to share this video on your facebook and twitter pages.

All your encouragement and love is felt by me and Jake.

Ee Ee Eeeeh! (That's hyena lingo for thank you)

[foghorn125]

this is awesome. are hyenas really that easily tamed? have you had it since it was really young?

[berner]

That fur must feel really cool

[santowines]

This animal can crash bones with a single bite. But when you treat people with respect it comes back to you. When you treat animals with respect its the same. Every living creature, stupid or smart has a minimum amount of brain to think about enemies and friends.

[Audioslav3driver]

@santowines not true, many reptiles cant discern that. Alligators will attack ANYTHING.

[tapoutordie89]

@Audioslav3driver One of my friends had a pet alligator as a kid. it would lounge on the couch with her, play with her. never bit her once. got over 4 feet long before they had to give it away

[inthiscoma]

[GSpeedEmotion]

They must have a "laugh" all the time those two.

[rappenthebom]

May I ask why the camera man is filming outside the ''playground''. Is it because the hyena could attack him? answer plz?

[albert333pool]

@rappenthebom I personally assume so. After all, it's still a wild animal

[wesmont4]

Wonderful! I am jealous. Thanks for caring about these beautiful and unique animals!

[clovelywindheaven]

what is this beatiful music..

btw nice hyena

[Laevi]

@clovelywindheaven The music is Latika's Theme by A.R. Rahman and Suzanne, it's the soundtrack of Slumdog Millionaire

[GMGvanS]

@clovelywindheaven "Nice hyena", that's not something you hear every day. LOL

[CocoShantell1]

Bryan, I just read the autobiography you wrote, and you had me on the floor laughing! It was absolutely hysterical

[DAXimuss]

[lilsm555]

These things usually eat animals alive and there jaws are strong enough to crush bone with ease.

[TheBigBeavis]
