Animals: Hyena
Crocuta crocuta = Scientific name of Hyena
Long regarded as a scavenger, the spotted hyena is quite capable of bringing down prey as large as a zebra. Weighing 37 kg, this strong, stocky beast is found all over the African savannah south of the Sahara Desert. Its jaws are probably the most powerful, in proportion to its size, of any living mammal. Far from being the craven cowards they have often been depicted as, they are capable, at times, of driving lions from their kill.
The spotted hyena spends its day in holes in the ground, or in rocky dens. They hunt in packs, mostly at night. They chase their prey until it is exhausted. Then the pack sets upon its victim and disembowels it.
These noisy animals have several types of cries and bloodcurdling howls. They make a maniacal laughing sound when they are attacked.
Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 '~사이에서'를 "between"으로 번역하는 경우가 많지만, 셋 이상을 비교할 때는 반드시 "among"을 사용해야 합니다. "Between"은 두 대상 사이를 비교할 때만 쓰고, 세 개 이상의 그룹 안에서 비교할 때는 "among"이 올바른 표현입니다.
Discussion
Discuss with your teacher.
선생님과 토론해 보세요.
- The passage says hyenas were long regarded as scavengers, but they are actually skilled hunters. Can you think of other animals that have an unfair reputation?
지문에 따르면 하이에나는 오랫동안 청소동물로 여겨졌지만, 실제로는 뛰어난 사냥꾼입니다. 부당한 평판을 가진 다른 동물을 떠올릴 수 있나요? - Hyenas can even drive lions away from their kill. What do you think makes pack animals so powerful compared to animals that hunt alone?
하이에나는 사자를 쫓아낼 수도 있습니다. 무리 지어 사냥하는 동물이 혼자 사냥하는 동물보다 강한 이유는 무엇이라고 생각하나요? - Hyenas make a laughing sound when they are attacked. Do you know of any other animals that use unusual sounds to communicate or defend themselves?
하이에나는 공격받을 때 웃는 듯한 소리를 냅니다. 독특한 소리로 의사소통하거나 자신을 방어하는 다른 동물을 알고 있나요?
