Hyena



The Hyena is a members-only land animal. It can be purchased at the Diamond Shop. Previously, Jammers were given hints and puzzles as to what this new animal might have been. On May 15, 2014 Animal Jam Headquarters confirmed that the animal will be a hyena. Hyenas have their own animated video, similar to the ones the Eagles, Deer, Cheetahs, Kangaroos, and Otters have, called "Ambushed".

Appearance
Hyena's appear to have a slouched back, almost like a Wolf. They have a bushy tail and front legs that are longer than hind legs. When first purchased, Hyena's have blue-grayish fur, along with purple-spiked hair and a purple mane leading to their tail.



Actions
Dance: They hop up to their hind legs and lift one of their shoulders and rest their paw on their cheek. Then they 'clap' their elbow and other paw together side to side. Looks like they are doing the sprinkler.

Hop: Hops are very similar to the Wolves.

Play: They start laughing until they drop on the ground.

Sleep: They lay down with, resting their head on ground. Their ears also bend over a little at the top, sort of like a puppy sleeping.

Trivia

 * There is a glitch where members can buy Hyenas for Gems, despite being for Diamonds.This was later patched.
 * A rumor was later spread saying the Jammers who finished the hint puzzle were able to buy them for Gems and that is why there was the glitch. However Animal Jam Headquarters denied the rumor being true.
