Harry
Harry the Hyena is a hyena who lives in the African landscape.
Physical Appearance
Harry has a brown body and has a pair of black canine-like ears (specifically resembling those of a hound dog). However, he has a purple nose and five black spots on his body. He has much hair than his wife Edna. He has a spiral tail.
Personality
Like all hyenas, Harry likes to laugh. In spite of his ability to laugh, Harry is also good at giving other animals advice, such as Tickles and Giggles in Episode 6. In Episode 25, Harry is also polite by thanking Nelson for removing the boulder from the burrow that has trapped him and Esmeralda for days. Depending on which episode Harry would appear at, he would occasionally appear in scenes set in the savanna or in the jungle.
As revealed in Season 2, Harry has a wife named Edna and is serving as the father of two hyena offspring named Holly and Johnnie. Despite leading his family wherever he leads them to, Harry also dislikes his family complaining on the same place on vacation, even during a rainy day. It is also revealed Harry is not a good swimmer in the marsh.
