Vets Get Up Close And Personal With A Playful Hyena | The Vet Life

Fun fact: hyenas have prickly cat-like tongues!

their not jumpers......i'm pretty sure if a German Shepard can jump a 6 ft fence im sure this could

"He licked my finger so I think he likes me."

Oh he definitely likes you. He thinks you taste finger-licking good. 🤣

I can't fine the one I want to comment on the gold fish u guys are the only one in my 66 life ty live u all u are so amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤ if your likes go going crazy it because of me❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

At the beginning of the video I was worried he was in the pet trade, but it's nice to see the hyena is a rescue and his owners appear responsible and knowledgeable.

One of the most adorable hyenas I've seen

Let me leave more than one like, dammit!! I wanna leave five hundred likes!! These people are amazing, and Loki looks so happy and healthy!

I really really wish that outside of sanctuaries, we'd just ban the exotic pet trade.

He didn't lick you because he liked you, Dr. Laveigne, he was seeing how you tasted 😂😂😂😂 He also seemed to like the cameraman, surprisingly

Actually, i would like to pet a hyena or two because they don't seem too bad.

Dr. Ross: "I'm faster than you mike."
Dr. Blue: "not with that hip."
That made me laugh

Their facility is not great unless they are soley a rehome situation.

I would kill to have a hyena love on me.

they r the best

A spotted hyena how cute and dangerous.

its a big instinct for hyenas to test others with bites and playing cos in the wild they have incredibly tense social structures, im not educated enough to know what this hyenas thinking, but thats probably why it was nippy.

I would die for Loki

Aaawww loki

“He lick my finger”
HAHAHAHAA 😂😂
Maybe for a snack hahahaaaa 😅

Why? Why are there people getting wild animals? This is so freaking not ok. Just pisses me off.

“I’m faster than you Mike”
“Pff not with that hip”

😂

😋🐈‍⬛🌷🌱
he’s adorable. so glad these guys took him in. and Loki is a great name for him. :)

Just look at that diverse staff. I'm glad they hire outside of their race.

Spotted hyenas are as intelligent as human's closest relatives--chimpanzees. It's an honor to meet a hyena.

I have bone crushing teeth, too. 🤣

Hyenas are so cute!

Hyenas should be free in Africa

*Cassie: "they're not razor sharp. they're actually bone-crushing teeth."
*Mike: "well THAT makes me feel alot better."
LMAO

JESUS LOVES YOU

Blue never gets to go on these trips, he seems so jealous! Maybe one day 😭

them: right next to hyena

me: sees a spider and burns the house down

These people are crazy. Hyenas aren't pets. They need to bring that hyena back to the African wilderness where it can scavange and hunt. It's ALL instinctual and they CAN do it. Hyenas are not domesticated, they're not dogs and CAN survive even after being raised in captivity. Those myths about "raised in captivity so can't survive on their own" need to die.

I do like pitbulls not saying they all bad, bt put the biggest baddest male pitbull in their with this hyena and she will definitely kill the pitbull and most likely eat it

I love the dynamic BTW the vets. So funny but professional. Thank you for helping all kinds of God's creatures.

Hyenas are beautiful, misunderstood, incredibly social creatures. It’s proven now that humans can integrate into the hyena’s social hierarchy really well, so we can better study and understand their behaviour.

I find it funny the hyena ended up in a wolf sanctuary where they specialize in canines. The closest living relative of hyenas are cats and viverrids, and mongooses.

That's a very small hyena even for a male.

I think being a vet is much harder than being a doctor. Especially when you can't communicate with your patient and there's a risk the patient will bite or scratch you.

He's just acting like a regular dog.. and everything they are saying about him is too, but they're making it sound intense.. lol

Those vets are a different breed. Like, I would wear a bite suit, a Kevlar vest, a suit of knight armor, and cover myself with Pepperidge Farm bread packaging before EVER setting foot in that damn enclosure

Isnt loki the name of the god of mischief

Strongest bite for Sahara
“ causally has his hand in its mouth”

This is the funniest cast

These hilarious Vets are just incredible, Lion King jokes. Bone crunching teeth lol...They're like Scooby Doo Vets. Just love it x

Did you ever come up with some All That Remains

Thank you so much for helping this revue volunteer keep this wild animal because they care for it & knows what is best.

I love you guys you are so funny and I I love your work! I'm a vet. technician but I only work with cats & dogs 😊 You are Bold! 😮😆

Those things are crazy big in person. Very intimidating. They look primal

It's troubling that a vet doesn't know hyenas are not even closely related to canines. Different species, different illnesses.
