Hyenas are more misunderstood than wolves

Wolves aren't thought as lazy and weak scavengers despite beign incredibly skilled predators
Wolves aren't thought as dumb despite being very intelligent
Wolves aren't consider as shitty because a unrealistic disney movie said so
Howewer, it is the case for hyenas.

Not only wolves aren't even on the top 20 most misunderstood lifeforms, but hyenas are thought by the majority as an exclusively necrophagic carnivore who can't fight effectively, even when in groups. Many people also thinks they are dumb and bad because The Lion King said so. However, all of this have being proven to be false.

Unlike Hyenas, wolves are seen for what they are (and sometimes better): a skilled and intelligent predator. You can see many peeps saying how mystical and amazing wolves are... but how many people say the same about hyenas?? Hyenas are wiser have a stronger bite than wolves and can crush elephants and giraffes bones with their jaws. And, before you send me than I am only writting this because hyenas are some of my two favorites animals, just go on any sources, theres is a very few chanches you find one who mention the opposite.

All of this without mention that most people finds hyenas to be uglies but finds wolves to be beautifull...
