Cover: A hyena cub eating a stork it has just killed.
Cubs of this age (9 months) are still nursing but have
also begun to explore the world beyond their den.
Hyena behavioral development is partitioned into
discrete stages that are shaped by the ecological
and social demands imposed by the environment. See
