The Eastern Cape environment department will investigate an incident in which a protected brown hyena was shot dead in the Seaview Predator Park, outside Gqeberha.
The animal was shot on March 29 when, according to park management, it charged a staff member.
The incident followed a week of drama in which a pair of brown hyenas escaped from their electrified enclosure and pictures of one surfaced on social media after it was spotted in the nearby suburb of Clarendon Marine.
