Brown hyenas are cool.

I've seen still photos before, but not video, and the difference is really quite amazing--they've got the bulky hyena shoulders, covered in this very long, silky looking hair, and then these striped, short-haired legs. Watching them, I got the weirdest mental image of a group of men in drag--you know, the baritone-voiced kind that are probably not gonna pass for women even in poor lighting--wearing extravagant feather boas and striped stockings. It was a rather bizarre mental image, (and weirdly appropriate given the nature of hyena genitalia!) but for some reason, that's what I thought of--transvestites of the Serengetti.

(And just because someone somewhere will probably take offense unless I make a disclaimer--you wanna dress up as men, women, or wombats, I don't care. More power to you. Doesn't bother me in the slightest--I have other fish to fry.)
