It was on cancer and the lecturer suggested that a possible reason for human propensity to cancer could be a side effect of relatively fast physical healing. (More cell division more chances of mistakes I guess?) I know very little cellular biology so I don't know how likely it is or if hyenas even work in a comparable way.But I thought it was interesting-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7819688123764229065.post-3090201073170535732014-12-13T00:06:52.282+03:002014-12-13T00:06:52.282+03:00I have been catching up with this blog for months ...I have been catching up with this blog for months now. Its nerve wracking to finally post a comment. You contributers are like rock stars to me. Lol.<br /><br />Anyway, ive watched many bbc and discovery channel hyena documentaries. Some of which involve past bloggers and projects! (Rockstars im telling you) i recall one film about a small clan in south africa ruled by a particularly intense queen, gork. A coupe occured and she was deposed... Only after nearly having her hi d left paw torn off. Alas weeks later shes still hobbling around albiet no longer queen.<br /><br />Ive also seen high ranking females with entirely missing paws that clearly had months to heal over, males with their noses and jowls bitten off after a territorial battle with an enemy clan, ears missing. And one particularly hard to watch video of a male loosing a fore paw, and getting strangled by a male lion three times... In the end he still got up and limped away. I would assume a low ranking male without a forepaw and broken vertebra is doomed... But with hyenas you never know.<br /><br />Im so glad to hear cyberman survived though. She is my new hero...

Hyenas are ridiculously tough animals and I have watched a video of 2 male lions have difficulty with killing a single hyena (Sadly, they eventually killed her) and I have also seen a video where it took 4 lionesses to kill just a single hyena, and it took a long time for the hyena to actually die. Hyenas are incredible and this is why I give them my full respect! I love hyenas! Great post! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07217502926040786910noreply@blogger.com
