Fun Fact Monday with Zee Afri Tours! Did you know? Hyenas are more closely related to cats than dogs! Despite their dog-like appearance and behavior, hyenas actually belong to a unique family (Hyaenidae) and share a more recent common ancestor with cats. Also, they’re incredible hunters—not just scavengers as many believe! That “laugh” you hear is actually a way hyenas communicate excitement, nervousness, or frustration. Each hyena's giggle is unique, almost like a voiceprint! So next time you're out on safari and hear laughing in the bushes… don’t assume it's your guide cracking jokes! Join us on safari and see these fascinating creatures in action!
