Yeen Fact #544: Growing out the spots
Yeen Fact #544: "Spotted hyenas are born with dark, almost black fur. Their spots only appear as they grow older. In very old yeens, the spots often fade again as their coat lightens. (The babies are just one big spot!!)"
This has been another fun Hyena Fact. (+a big thank you to @fuck-yeah-hyenas for letting me know how their spots fade with age!)
