Young pair of rare endangered hyenas arrive at zoo
A young pair of one of the world's rarest carnivores has arrived at a Cornish zoo.
Newquay Zoo said it was the only zoo in the south-west of England and one of two zoos in the UK to house endangered brown hyenas, also known as strandwolves.
Flo and Quinn, a sibling pair aged just under two years old, arrived from Hamerton Zoo Park in Cambridgeshire on Wednesday.
Newquay Zoo's curator of plants and animals John Meek said: "For people to be able to see them up close is a powerful reminder of why zoo conservation matters."
They are one of Africa's least understood carnivores - shy, solitary and beautifully adapted for survival in some of the toughest environments on Earth," he added.
He said brown hyenas (Parahyaena brunnea) were the rarest of the four hyena species, with as few as 5,000 estimated to remain in the wild, in southern Africa.
