Young hyena kicks sand in his baby brother's face while cleaning out their den
This video shows the hilarious moment when a baby hyena curiously followed his brother, only to get sand kicked in his face.
I cannot think of any mammal species in the African wild, dangerous or not, that are not cute when they are babies. While hyenas are scary looking and dangerous predators, they also have the ability to be funny and cute, when they are in baby form of course. Spending time with any type of wild baby animal is always special and besides the guaranteed cuteness to be observed, these baby animals can sometimes unexpectedly surprise you with some of the funniest behaviour. The video shows one of those unexpected funny moments baby animals in the African wild can produce. We were sitting at a hyena den in the Kruger National Park for some time, observing a large female and her two cubs. Baby hyenas are referred to as cubs and not pups as they are more feline than canine, believe it or not. One of the cubs was a little older and almost sub adult, while his little brother was a black little furball. The mother hyena was lying some distance away from the den while her offspring were playing in and around the den. At one stage the young hyena got up and went to the entrance of the den. The tiny baby hyena curiously followed after his brother, curious to see what he was up to next. Suddenly the young hyena, unexpectedly started cleaning out the den, which is usually the task of one of the adults or the mother. That involved kicking sand out backwards. The little baby hyena got a massive cloud of sand right in its face. The baby hyena quickly turned around, shook the sand from his face and eyes and ran off to his mother. The older brother carried on cleaning out the den none the wiser. This made us think that throwing a pile of sand in his brother’s face was pure coincidence that created the funny moment. When he stopped digging out sand from the den, the young hyena came out looking around, wondering where his brother was. The whole moment was so unexpected and funny at the same time and we couldn’t believe the entertainment these hyenas provided. The tiny baby hyena decided not to play around with his brother further and remained with mommy.
