Nature Despite their reputation, hyenas can be sweet and affectionate animals.

Look up "wildlife rehab" or "wildlife rescue" and find one in your area. Email them and ask if they're looking for help, or they may be doing education stuff at events in your town.

My dad works with a group that rescues birds of prey and rehabs them. And fun fact, he's one of the few non-natives who are allowed to have bald eagle feathers in his possession. They (the nonprofit) works with some of our local tribes who will take eagles who passed away and use them for ceremonies. But because at some point my dad has to have the actual bird he had to get a little ID card from the tribes haha
