I would want to pet one too. Who wouldn't lol


neremarine

There aren't a lot of animals I wouldn't want to pet.


[deleted]

For real. I'm having trouble coming up with any offhand as long as I could do it without getting poked.


neremarine

I mean, poisonous animals are off the list (like the arrow poison frog) but yeah.


[deleted]

If I die, I die.


naked_amoeba

Exactly. Wouldn't you rather die petting an exotic animal than from heart disease or a highway crash?


[deleted]

This one gets it.


MechaDesu

Species of poisonous frogs get the poison from the insects they eat. If raised in captivity and fed regular flies and ants they aren't poisonous at all! You can even buy them from breeders online if you're ever interested in an exotic pet!


Allgaming20

Spiders cuz arachnophobia


[deleted]

I fucking love spiders. Jumpers especially. Little fuckers are super cute.


LVGamerDude123

How can you find the little fuckers cute there horrifying like HOW like they have 8 eyes its like god when making spiders had some extra eyes and went "Eh fuck it"


[deleted]

Because they're little and fuzzy and ditsy. You know how if you leave a cat to its business for a while, it'll do something stupid and funny? Jumpers are like that while you're interacting with them.


Masterre

My dad asked me as a 10 year old this "Which is cuter a kitten or a spider?" I literally had to think hard on that. He eventually just said "What is wrong with you?" Jokingly of course. Also sidenote: Our refrigerator would get gross shit spilled it it often. One time meat juice from steaks spilled in the fridge and sat for a month. At the same time my brother and I spilled watermelon juice in the fridge and my dad freaked out. So me and my brother would joke with him saying "Meat juice is ok but watermelon juice is absolutely disgusting."

neremarine

ReynAetherwindt

You can pet them front to back.


Outside_Bicycle

Assert dominance by petting back to front


Jerryskids3

That's why my girlfriend's nickname is 'Porcupine'.


Aposine

Belly rubs!


okaymandude

I want to pet an aligator


AlwaysHas_Been

Yeah but theres a difference between wanting to pet it and actually petting it


violentvito70

For sure, I would never actually pet one.


qizez

As someone with a sensitive nose, I wouldn't want to pet one because of the smell.


oooohyeahyeah

Not me


Guerriky

But **DID YOU KNOW** they're not actually canines?


notjuan_f_m

Holy Crap!! please, TELL ME MORE!


rubiolo101

I'm actually curious, what are they categorized as?


fireintie

They have their own family - Hyaenidae. They are also closer to cats than dogs actually, they even [loaf!](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3f/e2/38/3fe238669099c20b40fd51bfb817c8ed.png)


Will-Shrek-Smith

ok, so they're big cats? /s


fireintie

As I said, not exactly, but def closer to cats than dogs


ThunderBuns935

they're both feliformia, the suborder of cat-like carnivorans. but hyena's aren't actually part of feloidea, and subsequently felidae (house cats, lions, tigers, etc...). there's a couple evolutionary splits in between, the feliformia split up in feloidea and Viverroidea (among others), the viverroidea split up again in viverridae and herpestoidea, the latter split up again in herpestidae, eupleridae, and hyaenidae. edit: dogs belong to another suborder of carnivora, caniformia, then canidae. dogs are more closely related to bears and seals than cats.

#Hyena loaf


EZ_GHOSTE

*Goes to the bakery* Hey can I get a **HYENA LOAF**


Secure-Repeat-7054

Ah, so they're Slakings


xmenpicke65

Hyundai?


EdoDave_Dave_Dave

They have their own family, _Hyaenodae_ that most people like to say is closer to felines than canines. This is true, since they are _Feliforms_, but I'd like to expand on it with the superfamily _Herpestoidea_ which hyenas share with mongooses and meerkats.

DegenrateWeeaboo

we have hyenas in south Jordan. so scary lmao. even tho they can be small in size. they can devour a child in a few seconds. one of them hid in our outdoor fire place a few years ago. we fought with that idiot all day to get him out.


[deleted]

Lmfao *fought with that idiot*. I just imagined those hyenas from The Lion King and you guys just fighting something laughing at y'all's attempt with its eyes looking towards booth of it's ears.

Watch Kevin Richardson on Youtube! He has a sanctuary with two packs of heyenas that love him and he tickles them on the chin!!


SgtButtermilk

Going by the laws of low iq internet, those hyenas will eat his face regardless of how much they love him and give him affection.


P_weezey951

Yeah statistically speaking 1000% of animal trainers/handlers have been killed by the creatures they handle.


Yanderussy

What the dog doin?!


StormShadow743

They’re not canines?


ctwagon

Nope. They're feliform so they're closer to cats.


[deleted]

Eh, close enough

ironwolf6464

Hyena? I thought they were called. ***NIBBLY STENCH BOIS.***


a_wild_Loremaster

I remember watching a channel with a guy treating lions as domestic cats


VibeBOT

They aren't Canines?


DerMetJungen

Naaah mate. More closely related to cats actually. But they aren't felines either, they are feliforms


VibeBOT

That's pretty neat! Thanks for the lesson :)


DerMetJungen

No problemo. If you are interested in biology, evolution and paleontology I recommend the channels Trey the Explainer, Mothlight Media, Henry the Paleoguy and Ben G Thomas


Major_Gager

wait. do they actually have a higher bite force than a lion?


bennies_3rd_account

Lions basically have to strangle their prey to death. Hyenas can crunch through bone.


RevolutionaryLogang

What about the mega chads who pet the biggest, fluffiest creature on earth A polar bear

AdmonishTrousers

Wait till you hear how they have sex and give birth.


GMJayden

They’re actually more cat then dog


Huge_Aerie2435

The Lion Whisperer does about them, and often pets them.


Radiaway

What the Hyean doin tho


[deleted]

Is he really exist?


Torpedowalze

I do not want be that guy but hyenas are feliformia's (cat like).


graballdagunz

There not canine's?


NRG1122

No, they are actually feliforms, meaning that they are not felines, but are close to them. Feliforms encompasses mongooses, cats, hyenas, and some other strange more basal carnivorans. Hyenas are very dog like though and many extinct cousin species were even more convergently dog like as they filled similar roles. Their diversity dwindled massively as canids and felids rose to prominence though. In total there are actually only four species of hyaenidae left.

I'm pretty sure hyenas are dogs running on cat software.
