Description
The hyena's reputation as a scavenging carrion-eater has been long-standing, but Mikita Brottman sets out to restore its reputation by exploring representations of this animal throughout history.
From ancient talismanic objects made from hyena parts to modern depictions in popular fiction, Brottman delves into the complex and often misunderstood world of hyenas. She reveals that these animals have been revered for their intelligence, sociability, and symbolic significance, yet are frequently portrayed as villains or comedic relief.
This richly illustrated book offers a fresh perspective on the hyena's place in the animal kingdom, making it an engaging read for anyone interested in the unusual and offbeat. With its unique blend of history, culture, and wildlife expertise, Hyena is sure to appeal to animal lovers and those looking for a thought-provoking exploration of this fascinating creature.
