Hyenas have extremely strong jaws and compared to their body size, they are one of the most powerful of the mammals. They also have a very powerful digestive system with highly acidic fluids. This makes them capable of eating and digesting their entire prey, including skin, teeth, horns, hoo...
Like other scavengers, the striped hyena’s stomach acid pH level is less than two. This is low when compared with human stomachs, which have a pH level closer to three. This aciditydestroys bacteriabefore it reaches the intestines. It’s like a filter that stops all the bad bacteria from...
HUMAN settlementsENDANGERED speciesSPECIESLIVESTOCKADULTSVery little is known about the range, diet and eco-ethology of the African striped hyena, compared to its sympatric hyena species; the spotted hyena. Here we present the results of bone assemblages collected in eight striped hyena dens located ...
crocuta) possesses the largest brain volume relative to body size and the greatest ratio of frontal cortex to total brain volume compared to the less social hyena species (Sakai et al., 2011a). Both relative brain size and relative frontal cortex volume increased with group size in the hya...
Compared to other Hyaenidae, Crocuta can thus live at extremely high densities, and the size of their social groups, called clans, can exceed 100 individuals in the prey-rich savannahs of eastern Africa. Crocuta live in fission–fusion societies in which all clan members recognize each other, ...
However, the last five years – between 2019 and 2024 – showed a marked increase in NDVI values compared to the previous two decades. This suggests that increased rainfall has led to improved grazing conditions, potentially supporting a larger prey base for carnivores. ...
It's important to note that the Hyena program shown in the paper is small in size compared to GPT-4 or even GPT-3. While GPT-3 has 175 billion parameters, or weights, the largest version of Hyena has only 1.3 billion parameters. Hence, it remains to be seen how well Hyena will do...
TheGenomicBenchmarksis an easy to use set of datasets for sequence level classification. We use as a good entry point to try new things out. Sample run: python -m train wandb=null experiment=hg38/genomic_benchmark dataset_name=human_enhancers_cohn train.pretrained_model_path=/path/to/ckpt ...
To evaluate the performance of the SHO, the results are compared with GWO and the genetic algorithm (GA). The simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of the SHO in reducing the cost of losses and improving the voltage profile during injection and non-injection of reactive power ...
It could also be compared to a drunken lady laughing at herself for putting up with a cheating husband for years. These are strange comparisons, I know, but nothing is stranger than hyena laughter. Mixed in with the laughing is moaning. Some clan members moan in the background while ...
