La Cueva de Nerja (Maro, témino municipal de Nerja, provincia de Málaga, S de España) contiene un importante yacimiento arqueológico en la zona de su antigua entrada (salas de la Torca, de la Mina y del Vestíbulo) cuya cronología se encuentra comprendida entre ca. 25.000 y ca. 3.000 años BP, secuencia que cubre el Pleistoceno superior final y gran parte del Holoceno. En el nivel basal de la Sala del Vestíbulo (NV13, cuadros C-4 y B-8), acotado en una horquilla cronológica comprendida entre ca. 25.000 y ca. 20.000 años BP, se han recuperado cuatro fragmentos de coprolito de color blanco atribuibles la hiena manchada de las cavernas (Crocuta crocuta spelaea).

AbstractCranial material ofPachycrocuta brevirostrisfrom the late Early Pleistocene site of Nogaisk is the first record of this species in Ukraine. This large hyena was a representative of the Tamanian faunal complex and a single specialised scavenger in these faunas. The revisited European records list ofP.brevirostrisdocumented the presence of this species in 101 sites, dated in the range of 3.5–0.4 Ma. This species first disappeared in Africa, survived in Europe until ca. 0.8–0.7 Ma, and its last, relict occurrence was known from south-eastern Asia. The main reason of extinction ofP.brevirostrisprobably was the competition withCrocuta crocuta. The cave hyena was smaller, but its teeth were proportionally larger to the body size, better adapted to crushing bones and slicing meat, and could also hunt united in larger groups.

From time immemorial it has been known that there is something peculiar about the sexual anatomy and physiology of the spotted hyaena. The writers of antiquity relate the legend that this animal is hermaphrodite, or that it can change its sex at will. Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) mentions the story, but says that it is untrue. He did not, however, distinguish between the spotted and striped hyaenas: the legend relates to the spotted hyaena, but his refutation to the striped, the genital anatomy of which he correctly describes. Pliny the Elder (A.D. 23-79) repeats the legend, mentioning Aristotle’s denial of its truth. Claudius Aelianus ( ca. A.D. 160-220) also states th at the hyaena changes its sex in alternate years.

AbstractDespite > 60 years of conservation in Uganda's national parks the populations of lions and spotted hyaenas in these areas have never been estimated using a census method. Estimates for some sites have been extrapolated to other protected areas and educated guesses have been made but there has been nothing more definitive. We used a lure count analysis method of call-up counts to estimate populations of the lion Panthera leo and spotted hyaena Crocuta crocuta in the parks where reasonable numbers of these species exist: Queen Elizabeth Protected Area, Murchison Falls Conservation Area and Kidepo Valley National Park. We estimated a total of 408 lions and 324 hyaenas for these three conservation areas. It is unlikely that other conservation areas in Uganda host > 10 lions or > 40 hyaenas. The Queen Elizabeth Protected Area had the largest populations of lions and hyaenas: 140 and 211, respectively. It is estimated that lion numbers have declined by 30% in this protected area since the late 1990s and there are increasing concerns for the long-term viability of both species in Uganda.
