As the animal didn’t move aside they were making guesses as to what could be the animal that stood to block the way. It had a horrifying appearance due to the weird patches of hair on his body and they just had one name in their mind was it Hyena or the animal found in the folklore Chupacabra that stood beside them, they thought in bewilderment.
Astonished
When Bobby said the two names aloud, despite having the same thought Danielle discarded the possibility. The creature couldn’t be Hyena for sure she said facing bobby in denial though regardless of the similarities and appearance it was hard for her to digest that such a carnivore animal couldn’t be found here.
Stepping Out
Finally, when they were done scratching their heads for the answer they stepped down the car and the kids hid behind their seats as they were scared to look out and the dogs stared out of the window without blinking as the couple put their foot down on the dusty road.
A Closer Look
Though they had stepped out of the car, they were scared that the animal might attack out of defense. Instead, they were stunned when the animal started to approach them calmly. The eyes that seemed like a new moons night was filled with tears that were rolling down its face. Was it a lonely hyena crying because it has lost its way and got separated from its clan?
Hyena?
Hyenas are basically the carnivorous creature found predominantly in all habitats let it be grasslands, savannahs, woodlands, forest edges, sub desert. Though compared to wild dogs a lot they are found to be more like cats. There are basically 4 types of hyenas that could be spotted and these are brown, spotted, aardwolf and striped hyena which are bound to change according to their habitat.
Appearance
Generally spotted hyenas are the most widely found species which grows up to the height of 5.9 feet and weighs about 80 to 190lbs. Their coat is more often sandy or yellow or grey in color and so was the animal’s that stood in front of the couple yet Danielle was unable to agree that poor harmless animal was actually a carnivore. But if it wasn’t the predator than what was it?
