That's not a very funny meme.
lol
I want to pet them all.
Not a dog, but very cute. https://gfycat.com/HeavenlyAlarmedLeech
They make a disturbing noise when frightened?
Idk, do they?
Yes, that "laugh".
I know about the laugh already
I believe that the laugh, combined with their status as scavengers contribute to the superstition around them.
This Hyena reminds me of a cute dachshund I care for occasionally.
They just look unnatural
Defective dogs/cheetahs
I have no idea what qualifies yet another ancient lineage of animal as "unnatural".
If you think Hyenas are strange come and see the creatures we have in Australia.
Animals like dogs, those are natural. Hyenas look like a cheetah fucked a jackal
I already know about emus and cassowaries
Well, Hyenas are far more closely related to cats than they are to dogs.
See, that's exactly what I mean
It's called convergent evolution. Tasmanian Tigers looked a LOT like dogs, but are more closely related to wallabies or kangaroos than dogs.
They're also weird ones. No creature needs a mouth that wide. No wonder they're gone
I just got to pet a 10 week old groodle pup.
It was wonderful.
What's a groodle?
I met two alive clouds today
