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.
The spotted hyena is the largest known member of the Hyaenidae, and is further physically distinguished from other species by its vaguely bear-like build, its rounded ears, its less prominent mane, its spotted pelt, its more dual purposed dentition, its fewer nipples and the presence of a pseudo-penis in the female.
