Dvůr Králové Zoo acquires couple of brown hyenas

The zoo in Dvůr Králové nad Labem in east Bohemia has acquired a pair of brown hyenas from South Africa, becoming the only zoo in the world to breed all four species of hyena, the Czech News Agency reported on Thursday. The hyenas have already undergone quarantine and are getting gradually used to the outdoors.

In addition to the newly acquired couple, the zoo also breeds two spotted hyenas, two aardwolfs and a male striped hyena. The Dvůr Králové Zoo is mainly known for spearheading international efforts to save the northern rhino from extinction.
