No on Monday it was Echo's first day out on the exibit, Moja was introduced to Echo on Wensday, still waiting for Penduli introduction.But Moja and Echo are best buddies now

Probably because Pinduli is the dominant animal and they might want the boys to establish their pecking order first.

I believe that was the idea when I overheard the Keeper talking to some people. They want the boys to decide who will be big man on campus.

Hopefully it will be Echo and Pinduli will be attracted to his dominance. Being an import his cubs will be highly valuable to the somewhat inbred hyena population. He's a potential founder. Moja like Pinduli is a descendant of the Berkeley hyenas. Its the reason the SSP told the zoo not to breed Moja and Pinduli... which the zoo promptly ignored. The zoo might have trouble placing cubs sired by Moja but there will be no problem placing Echo's cubs.
