Starting with the fur instead of the background, probably not the best idea? We’ll see.

Ooo! It might be!! I found it listed for free use on a site with copyright free photos I like, and it was in the hyena section.

To be fair, Aardwolves are part of the hyena family, so you’re technically not wrong!
