| Description |
"Spotted Hyena" by James Lippitt Clark
Animal/hyena/wild dog
"A hyenia is running with its head close to the ground, following a trail. It was Clark's custom to make a sketch model of each animal before proceeding with the full sized form on which to mount the skin. The occasion for this study of a hyena, done only a year after the sculptor's arrival at the Museum of Natural History, was mounting a hyena that had died at the zoo. It shows the sculptor's ability to impart a sense of motion when a knowledge of muscle and bone structure was animated by a vivid concept of the living creature."
