Are they:

1) Water lappers like a dog? Or

2) Water slurpers like a bear?

Also, has anyone ever seen a hyena swim?

Some good videos of them lapping like a dog (or cat) on YouTube as well as some good swimming footage. I had never thought about it before. . . I like the drinking from a skull concept!
Painted dog studios I believe had good Safari footage

Ah! Thank you!

As George Carlin once said, “These are the thoughts I have that kept me out of the really good schools.”
 
Hyenas use to use plastic straws. They wanted to switch to paper straws, but due to supply chain issues, couldn’t source American made straws and didn’t want straws made in China. There’s a very rare photo from a trail camera showing the last known hyena drinking with a straw. The photo is entitled, “The Final Straw!”
 
Did Hyenas quit drinking from straws because they found out that in California drinking from straws can cause cancer?
Or did they quit in protest because the new paper straws are delivered wrapped individually in plastic?

I read this in the voice of comedian Steven Wright. It was perfect.
 
Hyenas drink from where the honey badgers LET them drink.
 
Hienas don't need to drink a lot of water, because they get enough fluids and moisture from their scavages' blood and entestine fluids. If there is water available, they love water and do all their business in there; they also drag their food into the pond just to come and get it later. They're such filthy animals, but don't get any diseases.

This guy was fishing up his previous lunch of bones and skins.

If you ever have the privilege of hunting one, be very careful on how you handle it! They carry diseases that may cause serious illness and or death...

Hello,

I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any additional pics of the .416 Rem mag?

Thank you.
