除了體型稍偏大外，這款模型可算是各家同種物種中"素模"最貼近真實斑鬣狗的一款，可惜的是整體顏色表現突兀，特別是嘴皮和鮮艷的口腔，如換成帶灰的粉紅膚色應該會更合適，要是原廠能調整比例與配色，肯定給牠滿分。收到後左看右看顏色怎麼喬都不順眼，只好重新塗裝啦～
*2021.10.17補上塗裝後的照片，看起來順眼多了，非常成功，鬣狗就是要看起來髒髒黑黑的才叫鬣狗。
斑鬣狗 (資料來自於維基百科)
斑鬣狗（學名：Crocuta crocuta），又名斑點鬣狗、斑點土狼，是食肉目下的哺乳動物。牠們體形中等偏大，是陸地上的肉食性動物，棲息地位於非洲。斑鬣狗能夠發出低沉及像鳥的吠聲和很像人的笑聲。雖然斑鬣狗經常被誤認為是吃腐肉的，但牠們其實是經驗豐富的獵食者，大部份的食物都是來自活的獵物。斑鬣狗是撒哈拉以南非洲最普遍的掠食者，棲息在非洲的大草原。
斑鬣狗是於1777年由德國自然學家約翰·克里斯蒂安·波利卡普·埃爾克斯勒本首次正式描述的。斑鬣狗學名的古希臘文字根被老普林尼用來描述一種衣索比亞的不明動物，有可能就是鬣狗。這個字根是來自番紅花屬的學名，是古時的一種黃色染料。在文學上意思是「番紅花顏色的物體」。雖然斑鬣狗有一些像犬科，但牠們其實是更為接近靈貓科。斑鬣狗屬於貓型亞目，故較接近貓科而多於犬科。斑鬣狗是鬣狗科中現時最大型的成員。相信斑鬣狗的祖先是於上新世（533-180萬年前）從縞鬣狗分支出來。由於當時劍齒虎開始消失，並由短牙的貓科所取代，一些鬣狗開始自行獵食及演化成新的物種，包括現今的斑鬣狗。
Spotted Hyena (information from wikipedia)
The spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), also known as the laughing hyena, is a species of hyena native to Sub-Saharan Africa. It is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN on account of its widespread range and large numbers estimated between 27,000 and 47,000 individuals. The species is however experiencing declines outside of protected areas due to habitat loss and poaching. The species may have originated in Asia, and once ranged throughout Europe for at least one million years until the end of the Late Pleistocene. The spotted hyena is the largest member of the Hyaenidae, and is further physically distinguished from other species by its vaguely bear-like build, its rounded ears, its less prominent mane, its spotted pelt, its more dual purposed dentition, its fewer nipples and the presence of a pseudo-penis in the female. It is the only mammalian species to lack an external vaginal opening.

It is the only mammalian species to lack an external vaginal opening.
The spotted hyena is the most social of the Carnivora in that it has the largest group sizes and most complex social behaviours. Its social organisation is unlike that of any other Carnivore, bearing closer resemblance to that of cercopithecine primates (baboons and macaques) with respect to group-size, hierarchical structure, and frequency of social interaction among both kin and unrelated group-mates. However, the social system of the spotted hyena is openly competitive rather than cooperative, with access to kills, mating opportunities and the time of dispersal for males depending on the ability to dominate other clan-members. Females provide only for their own cubs rather than assist each other, and males display no paternal care. Spotted hyena society is matriarchal; females are larger than males, and dominate them.[
