The hyenas are released into the Arabian Wildlife Park
30 Sep 2009
Two of our six Striped Hyenas have been released into the Arabian Wildlife Park and are now being monitored for a ‘trial period’ to see how well they adapt. Phiri is a female who will be 2 years old in November and Arnold is an 18 month old male. They have been living together for over a year. We are predicting that they will choose to stay in the hilltop area of the Arabian Wildlife Park but as hyenas are opportunistic and very curious, we expect that they will eventually explore all areas of the Park. Hyenas are crepuscular (active at dusk and dawn) so the sunrise and evening Nature & Wildlife Drives will be the best time to catch a glimpse of them. Stay tuned for more details.
