The ABC's (Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence) of Hyena Training
Find and share any video of an animal interacting with a human where cues and consequences are being applied (either a link or embedded video). You may want to search “training session” for a particular animal of interest. For example, you could search “elephant training session” “dog training session” “cat training session” etc.

Behavior 1 - Hyena stretches its neck to the Zookeeper.
Timestamp: 1:57
Antecedent: The Zookeeper places their palm upwards towards the hyena
Behavior: The Hyena recognizes this command and shows its neck to the Zookeeper. This trick that the Zookeeper has taught the hyena is crucial for them to get blood from its jugular veins for medical purposes.
Consequence: A whistle will be blown as a sign of accomplishment, and then the Hyena is given food as a reward. The food is given via a tube that allows the Zookeeper access from the inside without entering the cage.
Behavior 2 - The hyena shows the right side of its body
