These are spotted hyenas at the Berkeley Hyena lab. They were about to get fed. Mostly the video is to get that distinctive "laugh" that hyenas have. They are not amused or laughing. They tend to do it when under stress. I suspect in this case, they were agitated because they were being fed and because they had a troop of human visitors, which is always exciting. They do have other enclosures that are larger and grassy, by the way. The 20 some odd animals rotate through the different enclosures at the facility
