Nice shot of my favorite critter. A fine specimen.

Too bad they have been moved to one of the worst exhibits at the SD Zoo.

They have striped hyenas in this enclosure now. The spotted hyenas are right next to them though, in the old rock goat enclosures... =/

I thought this is where the Sloth Bears are currently living now.

Oh yeah, you are right. Its hard to tell when most of their grottos look the same. The SDZ has had striped hyenas in the other enclosure for quite a long time and I remember the hyenas being in bear canyon for some time.

Okay, so that we are clear... the spotted hyenas now live in a former goat grotto in the area formerly known as "Dog and Cat Canyon", now dubbed "Africa Rocks", correct?

You are correct. Yellow-footed Rock Wallabies are also living in former goat grottos and a pair of Gorals are also living in a pair of goat grottos.
