Happen to come across this recently, it's a few years old but interesting. About a group of animal charmers in Africa who raise and keep as pets snakes,baboons and hyenas. I always suspected hyenas we're untameable and could not be kept as pets. It's scary they have the children and a domestic dog so close to it. Wonder if there was ever a Nat Geo special on this? Well just thought it was interesting to put up. DAvehttp://www.coolhunting.com/culture/pieter-hugo.php
I watched a special on hyena's a few nights ago. The narrators portrayed them as being quite social and carring for pack members...opposed to what has been reported in the past and what has been the popular belief.Seems that most everything we've been taught has little if any truth behind it.Go figure.
