Spotted hyenas laugh in anticipation of a meal!
When a hyena giggles, it actually means that it’s quite nervous about something. Spotted hyenas will often laugh in response to aggression from another hyena, or similar to the video above, when they are excited and anticipating a tasty meal.

Well, if I tell you that it is, more specifically, a spotted hyena, also known as the laughing hyena, then that’s half the puzzle solved for you. Glad you like it though :)
On another note have I mentioned I love spotted hyenas before because I do because you guys these animals are so cool holy god do you even know how cool they are.
I mean even Wiki says; “A study done by evolutionary anthropologists demonstrated that spotted hyenas outperform chimpanzees on cooperative problem-solving tests.”
DUDE.
