Hyenas in the snow

Of all the pictures I have taken of these veterans of the zoo, these pictures are among my favorite.

Cute guys. What geners have these three?

One female, two males.

In all zoos I know the females supress the males, does it work out in toronto? Do they breed?

That is true As far as I know, there's been no successful breeding of hyenas at Toronto and likely won't be because of their age

great picture, it wierd to see those animals in the snow...but they look cute

Great picture! Most animals at the TZ like the snow especially the younger gorillas cause I remember seeing one throwing a snowball at Charles.

All three of the hyenas have been neutered, and all are believed to be siblings (they were wild-caught in Kenya, and were part of the University of California (Berkeley)'s research colony until 1991).

This images shows Tigger (m) on the left, and I believe Rabbit (f) on the right (they were named after Winnie the Pooh characters). There is a heated pad in the cave in the background to help keep them comfortable.
