Here at Hyena Central I get a lot of visitors looking for information on how to keep a hyena as a pet. And for good reason! Reports of hyenas being domesticated have been circulated by the African Wildlife Foundation, Animal Planet, and the BBC– among other sources blatantly plagiarizing one source or the other. Speciously included in its “Big Cats” series, BBC reports, “In ancient Egypt hyenas were domesticated and even eaten.”

10 Recreational Uses for Drones (and two informational paragraphs)
Use of drones in the US only raises awareness and makes it easier to procure one on the internet, or make one yourself. This opens up a world of hijinks! Possibilities are endless, but these ten ideas came to my mind first:
