Hyenas at the Bronx Zoo

Http://www.bronxzoo.com
Can you lift a 5-pound block of ice with your jaw? If you were a spotted hyena, like Kubwa and Kidogo, itd be no problem. Their jaws can easily crush the bones of a prey animal in the wild. At the zoo, they use them to chomp through meat-cicles on warm summer days.

I see. The Hyenas are new. I'll go see them this week. What about the Nyala's on the African Plains though? I have personally seen Hyenas eat live Impala in the bush.

We have three Nyala fawns on the African Plains! Yet another reason to swing by the zoo this summer!

Wait a minute. Since when are there Hyenas at the Bronx Zoo? Heck, I go back with the zoo so long I remember Komodo Dragons in the reptile house but not Hyenas. Are they new arrivals? (Leave the Cape Hunting Dogs alone!)

[WCSMedia]

Yes! The Bronx now is exhibiting 2 Hyenas. They're on exhibit pretty much everyday.

I love this video! It has no distractions, it just shows the animals - that's what zoos are all about.

And I can't wait to visit the Bronx Zoo and see these hyenas.

Thanks! When you visit, come early (before 11 AM) as our hyenas like to sleep alot during the afternoon.

ever since i saw lion king... i just always see hyenas as assholes...

Nice video! I really like the fact that you are providing the hyenas with enrichment! =D

I hope you don't mind me asking, but what is the size of their enclosure? I'm really interested in zoology, architecture, and exhibit sizes, so I ask this question when I can. ^^;

Praises to the WCS and its dedication not only for its exibits and animal habitat conservation but for also educating the people as well!...

I always leave Philadelphia early to arrive at the Zoo at opening time, so that won't be a problem.

I am commenting here from my other channel (ZooVisitorMM2). I don't have videos from the Bronx Zoo yet because I haven't been there since I bought my video camera, but I hope to come there soon!
