This is some crazy shit. Some Nigerians keep these animals as pets.
If you dont know, a hyena has one of the strongest PSI bites in the world out of any animal.
It can literally shatter your arm or skull with one bite

 
In the City of Harar Ethiopia, (in one of the few Islamic sections of Ethiopia), there is a family which for hundreds of years has been charged with feeding the Hyenas. Thus keeping the city clean from rotting carcasses, but also from Hyenas attacking people.

Further it is speculated that the "Beast Of Gévaudan" in south-central France between 1764 and 1767 was in fact a Spotted Hyena.
