My understanding is that the Praxian hyena most closely resembles the
Spotted Hyena (
http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/resources/christopher_jameson/crocuta_crocuta_4.jpg/medium.jpg
), rather than the brown or striped varieties - it is, after all,
/Crocuta theovorax/ not /Hyaena theovorax/. Having said that, it clearly
isn't yer actual genuine terrestrial-type Spotted Hyena, so you're
certainly welcome to fit in any changes you like. Besides which, YGWV.
