We're not hyenas, we're DOGS!by =Kitchiki

Digital Art / Vector / Animals

On tumblr, on the hyena tag, about 50% of the pictures are of African wild dogs! which I think is crazy cause they don't even look THAT similar xD Hyenas aren't even canidae!

It's a bit petty but it kinda annoys me seeing as hyenas are my fave animal <3 (Of course I LOVE wild dogs too)

SO YES, ALAS THIS PIC WAS BORN.

AWD are in many countries called just like "Hyena Dog" , hyänenhund, pes hyenovitý, iena-cane and so .

But they have similar face mask and round ears (even larger), that's why they are mistaken for hyena too.

Lol, it annoys me too! I have an african wild dog plush, and the first time my friends saw it they said, "Is that a hyena?" and i just said "Noooo! Its an African wild dog!' lol. Btw great drawing! I love it!

Yeah, I don't get why people get them confused.

Aw, so adorable c: But yeah, people seem to have no idea how to identify canids or things that kind of look like them on the internet. Hyenas don't even look like African Wild Dogs, lol. Around here, any canid is somehow automatically a wolf.
