My uncle in Michigan had a wolf, he had it taxidermied when it died. Seeing a wolf standing on a rock in the living room scared the heck out of me when i was 5.

I take it that you've not been around many hyenas, have you? A Spotted hyena is the same size as an English Mastiff, and has the most powerful jaws of any land animal. I've seen coydogs-we have those here in South Carolina, too. I've also been around live hyenas and seen what those jaws can do. One of my Pit Bulls might last....oh, three seconds in a fight with a hyena, and then it would be lunch, and hyenas LOVE to eat dogs! A friend of mine who had an exotic animal rescue outfit had a hyena named "Jake" who was his house "dog"(they are not canines, by the way, not even related). For some reason, Jake hated me with a passion. After he exploded through a locked storm door(he lived in the house, all 180 pounds of him)and bit through my steel-belted radial tire down to the rim without so much as seeming to strain his jaw muscles, I got the point that Jake wanted to kill me, and decided that dropping in unannounced would not be a good idea. There is a heckuva big difference between that and someone having a tarantula for a pet, let me tell ya! That can really put something like a little spider into perspective, when it comes to really being confronted by a large flesh-eating animal like that.
