[[File:Prettywolf.jpg|right|200px|thumb|A wolf]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bad guy Jeran Lobo.jpg|right|thumb|[[Jeran Lobo]], a fictional wolf character in ''[[Extinctioners]]'']]&lt;br /&gt;
The '''wolf''' (''Canis lupus''), also known as the '''gray wolf''' or '''grey wolf''', is a large [[canine]] native to [[W:Euroasia|Eurasia]] and [[W:North America|North America]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These canines are defined as any of several large [[carnivorous]] [[mammal]]s of the genus ''Canis'', of the dog family [[Canidae]], and are one of the [[List of most popular phenotypes|most popular]] [[species]] for [[fursona]]s in the [[furry fandom]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Historical views==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[W:Ancient Rome|Ancient Rome]], wolves were considered symbols of sexual potency as well as good mothers, the latter easily noticeable in the Roman foundation myth of [[wikipedia:Romulus and Remus|Romulus and Remus]], where the twins were raised by a she-wolf. [[W:Native_Americans_in_the_United_States|Native Americans]] revere the [[W:Animal_worship|Wolf Totem]] in a different light, seeing wolves as Pathfinders and Guardians. This flies in contrast to the place of the wolf in most western history, wolves having been primarily seen as creatures to be feared, a viewpoint even noted in religious texts such as the Bible: &amp;quot;Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Modern perspective==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though the connotations associated with the wolf from ages past still lingers, the view of the wolf today is constantly evolving. Everything from scientific research and readily available documentaries to books and films has done much to alter the public view of these creatures, one notable such example being the film ''[[W:Never Cry Wolf|Never Cry Wolf]]''. As the wild ancestors of domestic [[dog]]s, wolves are both familiar and exotic to [[human]]s, which might explain their continuing fascination. Wolves have almost become cliches in some types of modern historical and [[fantasy]] fiction, shown as noble, savage, or a mixture of both qualities. ''[[The Wolves of Time]]'' duology included wolf characters from nobly self-sacrificing through to unrepentantly evil. In the [[furry fandom]], a mix of both elements is seen: admiration and distrust.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

'''Humans''' (''[[W:Homo sapiens|Homo sapiens]]''), are one of the members of the family '''Hominidae''' (also known as the ''' hominids ''' and the '''great  apes''') which also includes [[w:Chimpanzee|chimpanzees]], [[w:Gorilla|gorillas]] and [[w:Orangutan|orangutans]]. They are the only existent member of the genus ''[[W:Homo|Homo]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Numbering somewhat more than [https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ 8.2 billion] beings, they are a ubiquitous species on the planet Earth. They are distinct from other [[primate]]s in that they are [[bipedal]], possess [[W:Syntax|syntactic language]], and make use of technology to modify the world around them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Humans and furry==&lt;br /&gt;
===In furry worlds===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Human beings are fairly common in stories (art, literature, film, etc) depicting [[anthropomorphic]] [[character]]s ([[furry]] media). In many, perhaps particularly in children's films, they cohabit with anthropomorphic characters and may or may not be aware of their presence or intelligence. Indeed, recognition of this--and the subsequent relationship between humans and furry elements--may be a plot point. In others, it is scarcely addressed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where the two are present concurrently and aware of the other, the relationship between them may be friendly or antagonistic. In some cases, there seems to be a little inherent problem; the universe of [[W:Gene Roddenberry|Gene Roddenberry]]'s ''[[Star Trek]]'' acts as a prime illustration. In others, for example, [[W:Larry Niven|Larry Niven]]'s ''[[W:Ringworld|Ringworld]]'', conflicts exist but are not bred from anything in the &amp;quot;difference&amp;quot; between man and &amp;quot;the other&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In others, however, the existence of this difference itself is a key motivation for antagonism, this kind of racism is called '''Fantastic Racism'''.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FantasticRacism |title=Fantastic Racism |access-date=2011-03-04 |publisher=TV Tropes}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In some instances this is presented as an analog of the USA's [[W:Civil rights movement|civil rights movement]], generally with the furry characters acting out the role of the oppressed minority. Personal relationships across species lines can be depicted as stigmatized, recalling beliefs about [[W:Miscegenation|miscegenation]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In most stories, humans are, or are seen as, the oppressors. Humanity definitely will show characteristics of Xenophobia, a fear of different life forms,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url= http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AbsoluteXenophobe |title=Absolute Xenophobe |access-date=2011-03-14 |publisher=TV Tropes}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; to one degree or another. In these stories or scenarios, humans are highly aggressive, preferring to destroy what they do not understand, or is different from them, than to use diplomatic or other peaceful means of resolving problems. Many, if not all, humans will seek to take advantage of everything and everyone. However this does not only apply to furry stories but to most stories where there are characters who are not human, like ''[[W:District 9|District 9]]'' and [[W:James Cameron|James Cameron]]'s ''[[W:Avatar (2009 film)|Avatar]]''.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url= http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HumansAreBastards |title=Humans Are Bastards |access-date=2011-03-14 |publisher=TV Tropes}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; If a story takes the point of view of animals or relatively weak or primitive non-humans, then humans are often seen as the perpetrators, antagonists, or simply, &amp;quot;savages&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HumansAreCthulhu |title=Humans Are Cthulhu |access-date=2011-03-14 |publisher=TV Tropes}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, some stories featuring furry and human characters have furry characters playing the role of antagonists. In ''[[W:Planet of the Apes|Planet of the Apes]]'', most of the furry characters, who are intelligent [[ape]]s, are antagonists and oppress the wild humans they capture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When humans also have ill intent for each other or are generally just bad people, it is a sad state of living.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrapsackWorld |title=Crapsack World |access-date=2011-03-14 |publisher=TV Tropes}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Note that in some stories where there is a species superior to humans, this species might be physically stronger, more intelligent, of purer intent, and may also be able to transform, or mutate, humans into other species, or use hypnosis or mind control, which can lead to the human targeted to lose control of their actions and logic. This can be the cause of the humans becoming the oppressors in the first place and also raise questions about how the humans could defeat or enslave the most powerful race.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FRidgeLogic |title=F Ridge Logic |access-date=2011-03-14 |publisher=TV Tropes}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However the superior race can also became a [[W:Mary Sue|Mary Sue]]topia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MarySuetopia |title=Mary Suetopia |access-date=2011-03-14 |publisher=TV Tropes}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It seems they are not above arrogance, though they or the author usually feel the need to rub their superiority in the face of the humans or the reader.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuperiorSpecies |title=Superior Species |access-date=2011-03-14 |publisher=TV Tropes}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In some instances, the existence of anthropomorphic characters is credited to human beings, as in [[W:Clifford D. Simak|Clifford Simak]]'s ''[[W:City (novel)|City]]'' or a number of less well-known pieces of [[literature]]. There is a good motive for this kind of story, since humans are already inserting human [[W:DNA|DNA]] into [[animal]]s, and even making they create human organs,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/1949073.stm |title=Artificial liver could be grown |access-date=2011-03-04 |publisher=BBC News}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; this also includes DNA of the human brain.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://discovermagazine.com/2010/jan-feb/081 |title=Inserting Human Gene Into Mouse Brains |access-date=2011-03-04 |publisher=Discover News}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is possible that humans will be able to create anthros in the future.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article627176.ece |title=A human trapped inside a mouse's body |access-date=2011-03-04 |publisher=The Times}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In this kind of fiction, this fact may enter into the details of the dynamic between the two, recalling to some degree the fascination of [[science fiction]] with robotics and artificial intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, a number of stories lack humans entirely. Occasionally an explanation is presented for this that acknowledges the once or current existence of human beings, though more frequently the rules of the universe simply replace them outright with furry counterparts. This, as well, is a comparatively common setup in anthropomorphic literature and artwork; perhaps the dominant archetype.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===In real life===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While all members of the [[furry fandom]] simultaneously belong to the species ''Homo sapiens'', this fact in and of itself seems to be occasionally a source of conflict: outside observers may notice a current of misanthropy running through some of the fandom, manifesting itself in ways subtle and otherwise. Additionally, a small but not necessarily insignificant percentage of furries appear to repudiate their ties to the human race entirely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, and somewhat intriguingly, the separation between furry and non-furry mentioned in the previous section--if not truly antagonistic--may not confine itself entirely to the world of art and the imagination. Online [[role-play]]ing program [[Second Life]] supports a [[furry community]] that, according to an article in the [[W:Austin American-Statesman|Austin]] ''[http://www.austin360.com 360]'', practices a degree of self-imposed segregation between itself and &amp;quot;human&amp;quot; role-players.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.austin360.com/recreation/content/recreation/video_games/features/secondlife/secondlife_4.html |title=Welcome To Your Second Life |access-date=2010-01-08 |last=Stafford |first=Joe |date=2005-01-23 |work=austin360.com |publisher=austin 360}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For some, there may also be a mental difference rather than an anatomical one, which, in some people's opinion, represents the difference between one sentient species and another. For them, it is a matter of mental texture in a thinking species that sets human subspecies from one another, despite the physical similarities.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Hyesteria by Ebonyleopard.jpg|right|thumb|[[Hyesteria]], a fictional '''hyena''' character in [[Extinctioners]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''Hyenas''', also known as '''hyaenas''' are a group of [[carnivorous]] [[mammal]]s of the family ''Hyaenidae''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are four main [[species]] of hyenas:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Wikipedia:aardwolf|Aardwolf]] ''Proteles cristata'' ([[insectivore]]);&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Wikipedia:brown hyena|Brown hyena]] ''L. Parahyaena brunnea'' ([[Wikipedia:scavenger|scavenger]]);&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Wikipedia:spotted hyena|Spotted hyena]] ''L. Crocuta crocuta'' ([[pack]] [[predator]]); and&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Wikipedia:striped hyena|Striped hyena]] ''Hyaena hyaena'' ([[Wikipedia:scavenger|scavenger]], [[omnivore]]).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ITIS&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&amp;amp;anchorLocation=SubordinateTaxa&amp;amp;credibilitySort=Subordinate%20Taxa&amp;amp;rankName=Species&amp;amp;search_value=621756&amp;amp;print_version=SCR&amp;amp;source=from_print#SubordinateTaxa Integrated Taxonomic Information System Report on Hyaenidae], retrieved April 27, 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Humans have long feared hyenas. Early on, the hyenas were seen as evil, manipulative animals capable of imitating [[human]] speech and luring the poor victim out to eat it later. The laughing noise of the Spotted hyena was found incredibly eerie and supported the beliefs of the native Africans that they could speak human language.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;reputation&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.jstor.org/stable/40971108 The Spotted Hyena from Aristotle to the Lion King: Reputation is Everything], retrieved April 27, 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Striped Hyena was believed to provide magic and healing powers through eating of their brains and wearing their fur during rituals.{{cn}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When various civilisations discovered the hyena throughout history, scholars struggled to classify the animal.  [[Wikipedia:Strabo|Strabo]] in [[Wikipedia:Geographica|Geographica]] wrote ''&amp;quot;it is not a wild beast, but rather a domesticated animal, for it shows no signs of wildness.&amp;quot;''&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Geographica&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Strabo/16D*.html#4.16 penelope.uchicago.edu mirror of the Geographica, section 16], retrieved April 27, 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also characteristic for the hyenas are their [[mane]]s. However, the Spotted hyena has no significant mane but rather a tuft along the neck, and its ears are slightly rounded. The Striped hyena, Brown hyena and Aardwolf make their manes erect to increase their size when frightened, scared, excited, threatened or aggressive.{{cn}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most well-known trait of the bone-cracking hyenas (Spotted, Striped, and Brown hyenas) is their incredibly strong jaws that can crunch bones and glass with ease, and thus they can eat all of their prey, kill prey with an instant bite, and find tasty treats when rooting around in garbage. However, the Aardwolf is the only member of the family that neither hunts nor has the aforementioned trait. Instead it eats insects, like termites.{{cn}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Conservation Status ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hyena conservation has been largely successful, with the [[Wikipedia:IUCN_Red_List|IUCN Red List of Threatened Species]] listing the Aardwolf and the Spotted Hyena as ''&amp;quot;Least Concern&amp;quot;'' and the Brown Hyena and Striped Hyena as ''&amp;quot;Near Threatened&amp;quot;''&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IUCN&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.iucnredlist.org/search?taxonomies=100451&amp;amp;searchType=species IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, Hyaenidae Family], retrieved April 27, 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Hyena facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Despite their apparent similarity to [[canine]]s, hyenas are technically more closely related to [[feline]]s, being within the suborder [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feliformia Feliformia].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;evolution&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/266755142_Phylogeny_and_evolution_of_cats_Felidae, ResearchGate article on the evolution of Felidae], retrieved April 27, 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*The Spotted hyena (''L. Crocuta crocuta'') is also known as the Laughing hyena and is the most common and populous species of hyena, covering most of Africa.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IUCN&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Spotted hyena [[female]]s are difficult to distinguish from [[male]]s, due to [[W:Spotted hyena#Female genitalia|their strikingly similar genitalia]], including [[female]]s' false scrotums. This has led to many [[anthropomorphic]] hyena [[characters]] who are, or are assumed to be, [[hermaphrodite]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
*While the Striped hyena (''L. Hyaena hyaena'') is mainly a scavenger, it also eats small [[rodent]]s, eggs, tiny [[lizard]]s, [[fish]], berries, fruit and the occasional vegetable. On the dark side, the Striped Hyena has been known to attack and eat young humans in India. However, it is believed that, just like in many other animals' cases, it is due to a lack of other edible food. Usually, the Striped Hyena is very shy and withdrawn around humans.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;liveScience&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.livescience.com/55037-hyenas.html LiveScience article about Hyenas], retrieved April 27, 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*The name for Hyena is pretty much the same in most languages in the world, with spelling differences of &amp;quot;Hiena&amp;quot;, based on the Latin word for them (''Hyaena''). The exception is in India, where they are called &amp;quot;Hundar&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*Spotted hyenas are not good pets. Although a few people in Africa and Asia find hyena cubs in the wild and raise them as pets, these animals generally appear to be extremely unhappy as adults. They must often be muzzled at all times to not harm people or property. These 'pet' hyenas can't survive in the wild, because they can't hunt. Upon reaching adulthood, many of them must therefore be euthanized.{{cn}}&lt;br /&gt;
*Aardwolves are the smallest members of the hyena family. Unlike the other members of the family, they do not hunt or scavenge. Instead, they feed on insects, like termites.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;liveScience&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Hyenas in animation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Shenzi (The Lion King)|Shenzi]], [[Banzai]] and [[Ed (The Lion King)|Ed]] in the animated film ''[[The Lion King]]'' by [[Disney]] are villains and minions of [[Mufasa]]'s brother [[Scar]]. They are supposed to be Spotted Hyenas but show traits of the Striped hyena (such as slanting back, long necks, visible mane and long pointed ears). The film has received criticism for comparing hyenas to a plague or a burden of nature (when Scar took over with the hyenas the land turned grey, dark, empty of food and miserable) and comparing them to [[Nazi]]s (the ''Be Prepared'' marching-scene is heavily based of SS-marches that were held in the former Third Reich of Germany).{{cn}}&lt;br /&gt;
**There is a clan of good spotted hyenas in the animated series ''[[The Lion Guard]]'' based on ''[[The Lion King]]''. Hyenas in this clan live in the Outlands, but they respect the Circle of Life. Their leader is a young female named [[Jasiri]]. One of the enemies of [[Kion]] and his team includes [[Janja]], but he later reforms in the third and final season.&lt;br /&gt;
*In ''[[The Little Jungle Book]]'' cartoon series by Disney, a striped hyena shortly appeared in an episode escaping from a forest fire together with the other jungle creatures. It was not shown to be villainous.&lt;br /&gt;
*In ''[[Noah's Island]]'', an European animation series, four hyenas lived on Noah the [[Polar bear]]'s moving island. They appeared to be Striped Hyenas save for one of the cubs who had spots. They were not villains through and through, but could be a bit of troublemakers and occasionally picked on the resident [[poodle]].&lt;br /&gt;
*In &amp;quot;Simba - King of the Jungle&amp;quot;, an Italian animated series heavily based on Disney's movies, mixing ''The Lion King'', ''[[Jungle Book]]'' and ''[[Bambi]]'' all in one, had instead of &amp;quot;Tabaqui the [[Jackal]]&amp;quot; Tabaqui the Striped Hyena, who was cowardly, a scaredy-cat and the only one looking up to [[Shere Khan]] and was the only lackey, but lacking of courage. He made no real impact on the story, besides sucking up to Shere Khan, stuttering, getting smacked and spying on [[Simba (The Lion King)|Simba]] and Bambi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Har Har from the  [[Hanna-Barbera]] series ''[[W:Lippy the Lion and Hardy Har Har|Lippy the Lion and Hardy Har Har]]'' is a hyena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Hyenas in comics ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Bud and Lou in the DC comic books and related media are the pet hyenas of Joker and Harley Quinn.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;DC&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.cbr.com/birds-of-prey-movie-harley-quinn-hyenas-bud-lou/ CBR article about DC's Bud &amp;amp; Lou], retrieved April 27, 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

'''Rhinoceros''' (Greek '''''rhino-''''' for nose and '''''keras''''' for [[horn]]), full  '''rhinoceroses''', also known as just '''rhinos''', are rhinocerotoids belonging to the '''Rhinocerotidae''' [[W:family (biology)|family]]. It is any one of five living [[species]] from the family Rhinocerotidae (including the '''White''', '''Black''', '''Javan''', '''Indian''', and '''Sumatran rhinoceroses'''), found in Africa, southern Asia, and Indonesia. They are in the same order of [[animal]]s as [[Horse|horses]] and [[W:Tapir|tapirs]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rhinoceros are most widely recognized for the one or two large horns (depending on the species) found on the tip of their noses. These horns are used for defense and are made of [[W:Keratin|keratin]], the same material that composes hair and nails. Unlike true horns, they lack a bony core and grow back if broken or cut off. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to the poaching of these horns by [[human]]s for the purpose of decoration and an ingredient for traditional medicine, all species of rhinoceros are considered at risk for extinction, with one species classified as near threatened and one vulnerable, with the black, Javan and Sumatran rhinos critically endangered. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The northern rhino subspecies was functionally extinct on March 19, 2018, after the last [[male]], Sudan died, and there are only two known rhinos of this subspecies left, named '''Najin''' and '''Fatu'''.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/06/magazine/the-last-two-northern-white-rhinos-on-earth.html ''The Last Two Northern White Rhinos On Earth. What will we lose when Najin and Fatu die?''] aticle on [[W:The New York time Magazine|The New York time Magazine]]. Retrieved August 5, 2023.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Rhinoceros in mainstream culture/religion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rhinos are found on such mainstream [[comic strip]]s as ''[[Storyline of Kevin and Kell]]'', ''[[Européen Chateau]]'', ''[[Pluggers]]'', and ''[[Endtown]]'', as well as in the television show ''[[Street Sharks]]''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

* Mr. Cyrus Hornbill (''[[My Gym Partner's a Monkey]]'')&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Rocksteady]] (''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'')&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Neff]] ([[Disney]]'s ''[[W:Wreck-It Ralph|Wreck-It Ralph]]'')&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Rhinos and furry==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rhinos are one of the rare mammals found in the [[furry fandom]]. Due to their large stature, thick skin, and horns, rhinos are often portrayed as powerful, buff characters, and are rarely portrayed as [[female]]s.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{rename|Transformation}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{cleanup}}&lt;br /&gt;
:''This article concerns shapeshifting (also known as &amp;quot;transformation&amp;quot;) as an action or state of being. For the artistic metagenre which involves shapeshifting as a plot device, see [[transformation fiction]].''&lt;br /&gt;
'''Shapeshifting''' is, in its most basic meaning, a change from one state to another. A '''shapeshifter''' (also known as '''Shapechanger''' and sometimes abbreviated '''TF''' after &amp;quot;transformation&amp;quot;) is a term encompassing any sort of being that can change their physical shape and appearance under its own willpower. In fantasy fandoms, these beings may be known as '''polymorphs''' (i.e. a being or creature with the means to change its biological shape into another, commonly by the use of [[Wikipedia:Magic|magic]]; This process is also commonly known as &amp;quot;morphing.&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==In mythology==&lt;br /&gt;
Shapeshifters abound in the lore of most cultures.  Contemporary examples include [[werewolf|werewolves]], which are [[wolf|wolves]] that turn into [[human]]s (or vice versa, depending on the specific mythos), and [[Kitsune (mythology)|kitsune]] (and related shapeshifters, such as [[kumiho]]), which are typically depicted as the enlightened semi-spirit forms of [[fox]]es which can turn into people. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence, if the term 'furry' is taken in its loosest sense, i.e., something which exhibits a mixture of human and animal traits, then these may be the oldest known examples of [[furries]] in human culture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Shapeshifting and furry ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When used in terms of the [[furry fandom]], it is generally in the context of changing from a [[human]] form into an [[animal]] one. Shapeshifting, or [[transformation]], can have several meanings in the fandom. For [[furry lifestyle]]rs, it can reflect an interest in the fantasy of &amp;quot;being&amp;quot; their animal, and the earnest desire to one day wake up and see their human-ness gone. It can have aspects of sexual fantasy, especially in the case of unwanted involuntary transformations forced by others. It can reflect an active spiritual or [[wikipedia:oneirology|oneirological]] state of human-animal changes, as found in [[therianthropy]]. Or it can refer to biological or cybernetic changes, either in real life or in [[science fiction]], to make a person more animal-like.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shapeshifting is typically a one-way route in furry fan stories and art; the goal is to become animal, often a [[quadruped]] and in some cases anthro or [[taur]], rather than return to humanity. The main difference is in [[were]] stories where, due to traditional genre conventions, an aspect of returning to being human for at least a short time is often included. Some transformation stories may have people turn fully into [[wikipedia:bestial|bestial]] animals, rather than [[anthropomorphic]] ones, losing all human level or reasoning and intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Aggrobadger Gryphon TF.png|thumb|right|A gryphon TF, art by [[Aggro Badger]]]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== Fandom applications  ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A great deal of [[fursona]]s in the [[furry fandom]] are shapechangers. Some of them accomplish this task by &amp;quot;magical&amp;quot; means such as a garter belt or a curse, some using technology (i.e., [[nanite]]s or extreme [[genetic engineering]]), and some furs can shapechange &amp;quot;just because.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Transformation art is created by a wide variety of TF fans, both for themselves and as commissioned work for non-artist TF fans. This art can either be single, 'one-shot' images, or sequences depicting a transformation in as few as three or as many as 15-20 images. There are websites available to view transformation artwork, such as [[Transfur]], [[Stonegate Shadowlord|Shadowlord Inc.]] and [[Fur Affinity]]. TF fans communicate through chat, groups, lists and bulletin boards. There are some furry artists that can specialize in transformation artwork, such as [[Hornbuckle (New England)|Hornbuckle]], [[Virmir]], [[Gill Panda]], and [[Jakkal]], while others also included are [[Gryf]] and [[Sabretoothed Ermine]]. There are even some furries that can also do stories that depict transformation. One of the transformation websites, Shadowlord Inc., aside from having transformation artwork, also has clips of transformation-related media, like movies, shows, and video games among others, though it doesn't necessarily have all of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most [[muck]]s also include a [[Morph program|morph program]], which facilitate these changes.  The most common program was created by [[Triggur]] for [[FurryMUCK]], although there are others (and indeed, some mucks have multiple morph programs, depending on that user's preferences).{{fact}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Prettywolf.jpg|right|200px|thumb|A wolf]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Bad guy Jeran Lobo.jpg|right|thumb|[[Jeran Lobo]], a fictional wolf character in ''[[Extinctioners]]'']]&lt;br /&gt;
The '''wolf''' (''Canis lupus''), also known as the '''gray wolf''' or '''grey wolf''', is a large [[canine]] native to [[W:Euroasia|Eurasia]] and [[W:North America|North America]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These canines are defined as any of several large [[carnivorous]] [[mammal]]s of the genus ''Canis'', of the dog family [[Canidae]], and are one of the [[List of most popular phenotypes|most popular]] [[species]] for [[fursona]]s in the [[furry fandom]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Historical views==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[W:Ancient Rome|Ancient Rome]], wolves were considered symbols of sexual potency as well as good mothers, the latter easily noticeable in the Roman foundation myth of [[wikipedia:Romulus and Remus|Romulus and Remus]], where the twins were raised by a she-wolf. [[W:Native_Americans_in_the_United_States|Native Americans]] revere the [[W:Animal_worship|Wolf Totem]] in a different light, seeing wolves as Pathfinders and Guardians. This flies in contrast to the place of the wolf in most western history, wolves having been primarily seen as creatures to be feared, a viewpoint even noted in religious texts such as the Bible: &amp;quot;Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Modern perspective==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though the connotations associated with the wolf from ages past still lingers, the view of the wolf today is constantly evolving. Everything from scientific research and readily available documentaries to books and films has done much to alter the public view of these creatures, one notable such example being the film ''[[W:Never Cry Wolf|Never Cry Wolf]]''. As the wild ancestors of domestic [[dog]]s, wolves are both familiar and exotic to [[human]]s, which might explain their continuing fascination. Wolves have almost become cliches in some types of modern historical and [[fantasy]] fiction, shown as noble, savage, or a mixture of both qualities. ''[[The Wolves of Time]]'' duology included wolf characters from nobly self-sacrificing through to unrepentantly evil. In the [[furry fandom]], a mix of both elements is seen: admiration and distrust.&lt;br /&gt;

'''Humans''' (''[[W:Homo sapiens|Homo sapiens]]''), are one of the members of the family '''Hominidae''' (also known as the ''' hominids ''' and the '''great  apes''') which also includes [[w:Chimpanzee|chimpanzees]], [[w:Gorilla|gorillas]] and [[w:Orangutan|orangutans]]. They are the only existent member of the genus ''[[W:Homo|Homo]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Numbering somewhat more than [https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/ 8.2 billion] beings, they are a ubiquitous species on the planet Earth. They are distinct from other [[primate]]s in that they are [[bipedal]], possess [[W:Syntax|syntactic language]], and make use of technology to modify the world around them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Humans and furry==&lt;br /&gt;
===In furry worlds===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Human beings are fairly common in stories (art, literature, film, etc) depicting [[anthropomorphic]] [[character]]s ([[furry]] media). In many, perhaps particularly in children's films, they cohabit with anthropomorphic characters and may or may not be aware of their presence or intelligence. Indeed, recognition of this--and the subsequent relationship between humans and furry elements--may be a plot point. In others, it is scarcely addressed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where the two are present concurrently and aware of the other, the relationship between them may be friendly or antagonistic. In some cases, there seems to be a little inherent problem; the universe of [[W:Gene Roddenberry|Gene Roddenberry]]'s ''[[Star Trek]]'' acts as a prime illustration. In others, for example, [[W:Larry Niven|Larry Niven]]'s ''[[W:Ringworld|Ringworld]]'', conflicts exist but are not bred from anything in the &amp;quot;difference&amp;quot; between man and &amp;quot;the other&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In others, however, the existence of this difference itself is a key motivation for antagonism, this kind of racism is called '''Fantastic Racism'''.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FantasticRacism |title=Fantastic Racism |access-date=2011-03-04 |publisher=TV Tropes}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In some instances this is presented as an analog of the USA's [[W:Civil rights movement|civil rights movement]], generally with the furry characters acting out the role of the oppressed minority. Personal relationships across species lines can be depicted as stigmatized, recalling beliefs about [[W:Miscegenation|miscegenation]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In most stories, humans are, or are seen as, the oppressors. Humanity definitely will show characteristics of Xenophobia, a fear of different life forms,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url= http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AbsoluteXenophobe |title=Absolute Xenophobe |access-date=2011-03-14 |publisher=TV Tropes}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; to one degree or another. In these stories or scenarios, humans are highly aggressive, preferring to destroy what they do not understand, or is different from them, than to use diplomatic or other peaceful means of resolving problems. Many, if not all, humans will seek to take advantage of everything and everyone. However this does not only apply to furry stories but to most stories where there are characters who are not human, like ''[[W:District 9|District 9]]'' and [[W:James Cameron|James Cameron]]'s ''[[W:Avatar (2009 film)|Avatar]]''.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url= http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HumansAreBastards |title=Humans Are Bastards |access-date=2011-03-14 |publisher=TV Tropes}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; If a story takes the point of view of animals or relatively weak or primitive non-humans, then humans are often seen as the perpetrators, antagonists, or simply, &amp;quot;savages&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HumansAreCthulhu |title=Humans Are Cthulhu |access-date=2011-03-14 |publisher=TV Tropes}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, some stories featuring furry and human characters have furry characters playing the role of antagonists. In ''[[W:Planet of the Apes|Planet of the Apes]]'', most of the furry characters, who are intelligent [[ape]]s, are antagonists and oppress the wild humans they capture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When humans also have ill intent for each other or are generally just bad people, it is a sad state of living.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrapsackWorld |title=Crapsack World |access-date=2011-03-14 |publisher=TV Tropes}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Note that in some stories where there is a species superior to humans, this species might be physically stronger, more intelligent, of purer intent, and may also be able to transform, or mutate, humans into other species, or use hypnosis or mind control, which can lead to the human targeted to lose control of their actions and logic. This can be the cause of the humans becoming the oppressors in the first place and also raise questions about how the humans could defeat or enslave the most powerful race.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FRidgeLogic |title=F Ridge Logic |access-date=2011-03-14 |publisher=TV Tropes}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However the superior race can also became a [[W:Mary Sue|Mary Sue]]topia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MarySuetopia |title=Mary Suetopia |access-date=2011-03-14 |publisher=TV Tropes}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It seems they are not above arrogance, though they or the author usually feel the need to rub their superiority in the face of the humans or the reader.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuperiorSpecies |title=Superior Species |access-date=2011-03-14 |publisher=TV Tropes}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In some instances, the existence of anthropomorphic characters is credited to human beings, as in [[W:Clifford D. Simak|Clifford Simak]]'s ''[[W:City (novel)|City]]'' or a number of less well-known pieces of [[literature]]. There is a good motive for this kind of story, since humans are already inserting human [[W:DNA|DNA]] into [[animal]]s, and even making they create human organs,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/1949073.stm |title=Artificial liver could be grown |access-date=2011-03-04 |publisher=BBC News}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; this also includes DNA of the human brain.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://discovermagazine.com/2010/jan-feb/081 |title=Inserting Human Gene Into Mouse Brains |access-date=2011-03-04 |publisher=Discover News}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; It is possible that humans will be able to create anthros in the future.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article627176.ece |title=A human trapped inside a mouse's body |access-date=2011-03-04 |publisher=The Times}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In this kind of fiction, this fact may enter into the details of the dynamic between the two, recalling to some degree the fascination of [[science fiction]] with robotics and artificial intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, a number of stories lack humans entirely. Occasionally an explanation is presented for this that acknowledges the once or current existence of human beings, though more frequently the rules of the universe simply replace them outright with furry counterparts. This, as well, is a comparatively common setup in anthropomorphic literature and artwork; perhaps the dominant archetype.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===In real life===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While all members of the [[furry fandom]] simultaneously belong to the species ''Homo sapiens'', this fact in and of itself seems to be occasionally a source of conflict: outside observers may notice a current of misanthropy running through some of the fandom, manifesting itself in ways subtle and otherwise. Additionally, a small but not necessarily insignificant percentage of furries appear to repudiate their ties to the human race entirely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, and somewhat intriguingly, the separation between furry and non-furry mentioned in the previous section--if not truly antagonistic--may not confine itself entirely to the world of art and the imagination. Online [[role-play]]ing program [[Second Life]] supports a [[furry community]] that, according to an article in the [[W:Austin American-Statesman|Austin]] ''[http://www.austin360.com 360]'', practices a degree of self-imposed segregation between itself and &amp;quot;human&amp;quot; role-players.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.austin360.com/recreation/content/recreation/video_games/features/secondlife/secondlife_4.html |title=Welcome To Your Second Life |access-date=2010-01-08 |last=Stafford |first=Joe |date=2005-01-23 |work=austin360.com |publisher=austin 360}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For some, there may also be a mental difference rather than an anatomical one, which, in some people's opinion, represents the difference between one sentient species and another. For them, it is a matter of mental texture in a thinking species that sets human subspecies from one another, despite the physical similarities.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Hyesteria by Ebonyleopard.jpg|right|thumb|[[Hyesteria]], a fictional '''hyena''' character in [[Extinctioners]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
'''Hyenas''', also known as '''hyaenas''' are a group of [[carnivorous]] [[mammal]]s of the family ''Hyaenidae''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are four main [[species]] of hyenas:&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Wikipedia:aardwolf|Aardwolf]] ''Proteles cristata'' ([[insectivore]]);&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Wikipedia:brown hyena|Brown hyena]] ''L. Parahyaena brunnea'' ([[Wikipedia:scavenger|scavenger]]);&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Wikipedia:spotted hyena|Spotted hyena]] ''L. Crocuta crocuta'' ([[pack]] [[predator]]); and&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Wikipedia:striped hyena|Striped hyena]] ''Hyaena hyaena'' ([[Wikipedia:scavenger|scavenger]], [[omnivore]]).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ITIS&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&amp;amp;anchorLocation=SubordinateTaxa&amp;amp;credibilitySort=Subordinate%20Taxa&amp;amp;rankName=Species&amp;amp;search_value=621756&amp;amp;print_version=SCR&amp;amp;source=from_print#SubordinateTaxa Integrated Taxonomic Information System Report on Hyaenidae], retrieved April 27, 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Humans have long feared hyenas. Early on, the hyenas were seen as evil, manipulative animals capable of imitating [[human]] speech and luring the poor victim out to eat it later. The laughing noise of the Spotted hyena was found incredibly eerie and supported the beliefs of the native Africans that they could speak human language.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;reputation&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.jstor.org/stable/40971108 The Spotted Hyena from Aristotle to the Lion King: Reputation is Everything], retrieved April 27, 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Striped Hyena was believed to provide magic and healing powers through eating of their brains and wearing their fur during rituals.{{cn}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When various civilisations discovered the hyena throughout history, scholars struggled to classify the animal.  [[Wikipedia:Strabo|Strabo]] in [[Wikipedia:Geographica|Geographica]] wrote ''&amp;quot;it is not a wild beast, but rather a domesticated animal, for it shows no signs of wildness.&amp;quot;''&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Geographica&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Strabo/16D*.html#4.16 penelope.uchicago.edu mirror of the Geographica, section 16], retrieved April 27, 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also characteristic for the hyenas are their [[mane]]s. However, the Spotted hyena has no significant mane but rather a tuft along the neck, and its ears are slightly rounded. The Striped hyena, Brown hyena and Aardwolf make their manes erect to increase their size when frightened, scared, excited, threatened or aggressive.{{cn}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most well-known trait of the bone-cracking hyenas (Spotted, Striped, and Brown hyenas) is their incredibly strong jaws that can crunch bones and glass with ease, and thus they can eat all of their prey, kill prey with an instant bite, and find tasty treats when rooting around in garbage. However, the Aardwolf is the only member of the family that neither hunts nor has the aforementioned trait. Instead it eats insects, like termites.{{cn}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Conservation Status ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hyena conservation has been largely successful, with the [[Wikipedia:IUCN_Red_List|IUCN Red List of Threatened Species]] listing the Aardwolf and the Spotted Hyena as ''&amp;quot;Least Concern&amp;quot;'' and the Brown Hyena and Striped Hyena as ''&amp;quot;Near Threatened&amp;quot;''&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IUCN&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.iucnredlist.org/search?taxonomies=100451&amp;amp;searchType=species IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, Hyaenidae Family], retrieved April 27, 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Hyena facts ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Despite their apparent similarity to [[canine]]s, hyenas are technically more closely related to [[feline]]s, being within the suborder [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feliformia Feliformia].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;evolution&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.researchgate.net/publication/266755142_Phylogeny_and_evolution_of_cats_Felidae, ResearchGate article on the evolution of Felidae], retrieved April 27, 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*The Spotted hyena (''L. Crocuta crocuta'') is also known as the Laughing hyena and is the most common and populous species of hyena, covering most of Africa.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IUCN&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Spotted hyena [[female]]s are difficult to distinguish from [[male]]s, due to [[W:Spotted hyena#Female genitalia|their strikingly similar genitalia]], including [[female]]s' false scrotums. This has led to many [[anthropomorphic]] hyena [[characters]] who are, or are assumed to be, [[hermaphrodite]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
*While the Striped hyena (''L. Hyaena hyaena'') is mainly a scavenger, it also eats small [[rodent]]s, eggs, tiny [[lizard]]s, [[fish]], berries, fruit and the occasional vegetable. On the dark side, the Striped Hyena has been known to attack and eat young humans in India. However, it is believed that, just like in many other animals' cases, it is due to a lack of other edible food. Usually, the Striped Hyena is very shy and withdrawn around humans.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;liveScience&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.livescience.com/55037-hyenas.html LiveScience article about Hyenas], retrieved April 27, 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*The name for Hyena is pretty much the same in most languages in the world, with spelling differences of &amp;quot;Hiena&amp;quot;, based on the Latin word for them (''Hyaena''). The exception is in India, where they are called &amp;quot;Hundar&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*Spotted hyenas are not good pets. Although a few people in Africa and Asia find hyena cubs in the wild and raise them as pets, these animals generally appear to be extremely unhappy as adults. They must often be muzzled at all times to not harm people or property. These 'pet' hyenas can't survive in the wild, because they can't hunt. Upon reaching adulthood, many of them must therefore be euthanized.{{cn}}&lt;br /&gt;
*Aardwolves are the smallest members of the hyena family. Unlike the other members of the family, they do not hunt or scavenge. Instead, they feed on insects, like termites.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;liveScience&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Hyenas in animation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Shenzi (The Lion King)|Shenzi]], [[Banzai]] and [[Ed (The Lion King)|Ed]] in the animated film ''[[The Lion King]]'' by [[Disney]] are villains and minions of [[Mufasa]]'s brother [[Scar]]. They are supposed to be Spotted Hyenas but show traits of the Striped hyena (such as slanting back, long necks, visible mane and long pointed ears). The film has received criticism for comparing hyenas to a plague or a burden of nature (when Scar took over with the hyenas the land turned grey, dark, empty of food and miserable) and comparing them to [[Nazi]]s (the ''Be Prepared'' marching-scene is heavily based of SS-marches that were held in the former Third Reich of Germany).{{cn}}&lt;br /&gt;
**There is a clan of good spotted hyenas in the animated series ''[[The Lion Guard]]'' based on ''[[The Lion King]]''. Hyenas in this clan live in the Outlands, but they respect the Circle of Life. Their leader is a young female named [[Jasiri]]. One of the enemies of [[Kion]] and his team includes [[Janja]], but he later reforms in the third and final season.&lt;br /&gt;
*In ''[[The Little Jungle Book]]'' cartoon series by Disney, a striped hyena shortly appeared in an episode escaping from a forest fire together with the other jungle creatures. It was not shown to be villainous.&lt;br /&gt;
*In ''[[Noah's Island]]'', an European animation series, four hyenas lived on Noah the [[Polar bear]]'s moving island. They appeared to be Striped Hyenas save for one of the cubs who had spots. They were not villains through and through, but could be a bit of troublemakers and occasionally picked on the resident [[poodle]].&lt;br /&gt;
*In &amp;quot;Simba - King of the Jungle&amp;quot;, an Italian animated series heavily based on Disney's movies, mixing ''The Lion King'', ''[[Jungle Book]]'' and ''[[Bambi]]'' all in one, had instead of &amp;quot;Tabaqui the [[Jackal]]&amp;quot; Tabaqui the Striped Hyena, who was cowardly, a scaredy-cat and the only one looking up to [[Shere Khan]] and was the only lackey, but lacking of courage. He made no real impact on the story, besides sucking up to Shere Khan, stuttering, getting smacked and spying on [[Simba (The Lion King)|Simba]] and Bambi.&lt;br /&gt;
*Har Har from the  [[Hanna-Barbera]] series ''[[W:Lippy the Lion and Hardy Har Har|Lippy the Lion and Hardy Har Har]]'' is a hyena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Hyenas in comics ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Bud and Lou in the DC comic books and related media are the pet hyenas of Joker and Harley Quinn.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;DC&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[https://www.cbr.com/birds-of-prey-movie-harley-quinn-hyenas-bud-lou/ CBR article about DC's Bud &amp;amp; Lou], retrieved April 27, 2024.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:Lycaon pictus pg.jpg|right|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
The '''African wild dog''' (''Lycaon pictus'') is a species of tri-colored canine that lives in Africa. It is also referred to as the  '''African hunting dog''', '''Cape hunting dog''', '''African painted dog''', '''painted dog''', '''painted wolf''', '''painted hunting dog''', '''spotted dog''', or '''ornate wolf'''. Their diet consists of meat and they also hunt large [[bird]]s, especially [[Ostrich (species)|ostriches]]. They can also hunt other animals, including antelopes, zebras, buffaloes and warthog and catch them by chasing them to exhaustion. Other predators, such as [[lion]]s and [[hyena]]s, sometimes steal the prey that the wild dogs catch and the former of which can also kill them. African wild dogs have a unique blotchy coat pattern, have big round ears, and are also the only canid species to lack dewclaws. Like other species of canids, African wild dogs regurgitate food for their young and also live in packs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The African wild dog is a fairly popular species on [[:Category:The Lion King multiplayer worlds|multiplayer worlds based on ''The Lion King'']], perhaps in part due to the species's striking and highly individual appearance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zoos that include the African Wild Dog include Brookfield Zoo, Lincoln Park Zoo, Cincinnati Zoo, The Living Desert Zoo, Oregon Zoo, Houston Zoo, Greenville Zoo, and ZSL London Zoo. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
African Wild dogs are endangered animals. Threats include poaching, diseases, habitat loss and competition with larger predators such as lions.&lt;br /&gt;
