Abyssinian hyena. Hyaena aethiopicus. "Mr Bruce denies that the Hyaena digs up graves, and maintains that it is not the Saphan of the Sacred Writings. The people of Gondar firmly believe that these animals are Falasha from the neighboring mountains transformed by magic, and come down to eat human flesh in the dark.". Handcoloured copperplate engraving from "The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine; or, Complete Cabinet of the Curiosities and Beauties of Nature" (1798~1802) published by Harrison, London.
