Prof. THEUNISSEN: Correct, yeah. So this is a colony of spotted hyenas and the spotted hyena is the laughing hyena. It's actually the only hyena among the three living hyenas that produces the giggle sound or the laugh.
Though hyenas look like large dogs, they are actually more similar to cats like lions and tigers. Hyenas have very powerful jaws and strong teeth.
