A TikTok user under the nickname infared_savage admits that he was aware of the possible deception when buying a pet through an online ad. Stories often appear online about how a dachshund puppy grows into a huge Doberman, and a promised Maltese turns into a charming mutt. But the man was not prepared for this kind of surprise.
At first glance he realized that something was wrong with the puppy. No, the little dog was absolutely healthy and playful. But its pointed muzzle and slight grin, resembling a smile, seemed painfully familiar to the guy. And dangerous. The puppy's seller assured him that the dog was simply special – friendly and smiley.
«It turned out to be a «girl». I even came up with a name for her, because I was planning to take her – in the photo she looked ordinary, just a cute little mutt. I called her over – «Come here, Nina», and that little devil just looked at me and laughed! I was so scared, I thought: «What the hell, how can it giggle?», – recalls the guy.
It turned out that this was a real hyena cub! The man didn't bother finding out how it had ended up with the seller, and just fled. Although he admits that he really liked the funny giggling little one. Until it bit him on the leg. And while laughing, too.
By the way
The laugh of the spotted hyena is its way of communicating. However, they usually make giggling sounds mainly in a few situations, not constantly. When they hunt and inform members of their pack of their location, when they eat and try to bite off a bigger piece. And, finally, when they are not happy about uninvited guests and want to drive them off their territory. Hyenas also express fear and resentment in this way.
