Wild Dogs

Coyotes are highly adaptable animals found in a variety of habitats, including forests, grasslands, deserts, and urban areas across North America. They thrive in environments that provide ample food sources, such as small mammals, birds, and carrion. Coyotes often establish dens in secluded locations, such as under rocks or within burrows, to raise their young. Their ability to adjust to different surroundings allows them to coexist alongside human populations.

Lobo is Spanish for wolf. Coyotes are much smaller and lighter than wolves, and much more adaptable. Unlike a wolf, a coyote has a bushy, thick tail, which it holds low to the ground. Coyotes and wolves can be found in separate areas. Coyotes are considered to be more adaptable to humans than wolves. They usually do not attack humans owing to their small sizes and shy behavior. Wolves howl to communicate with the other members of the pack and other packs. They also howl to attract mates, when they wake up, and when they sense any danger. People refer to the calls of coyotes as yips and yelps.

African hunting dogs have a patterned fur coat primarily for camouflage, which helps them blend into their natural environment while hunting. The unique coloration and patterns disrupt their outline, making it harder for prey to detect them. Additionally, this coat aids in social interactions within their packs, as each dog's pattern can help with individual recognition among pack members.

I've had Huskies for the last 23yrs. and they seem to do best with fish and poultry. They don't seem to tolerate beef very well except in very small quantities, bison, they tolerate a little more and Venison is ok. Their ancestors were fed mainly fish and poultry so they seem to do best on those.

Before trying to aquire a Hyena, you should ensure it is legal to own one in PA. According to the government you need a special permit to own any exotic pet and a hyena would certainly fall into that category. Hyena's are very large carvivores and would not make a good pet. A little baby hyena will grow into a powerful predator with powerful instincts. Also hyenas belong to packs or clans and to raise one isolated from a clan would be cruel.

In a quick search of the internet, I could find no importer for hyenas, unless you are affiliated with an accredited zoo. One reference stated it is illegal to own one outside of a zoo or sanctuary. You really have to check with the local government regarding ownership, then check to see if your state has any prohibitions against owning them. I would be very wary of anyone who is selling hyenas over the internet. The question as to how they acquired them should be asked, as well as the overall health of the animal.

All have four toes with claws on each paw, long canine teeth, forward-facing eyes, dewclaws on the front feet, and walk on their toes.
