Abstract
⺠Research on animal problem solving seldom considers both wild and captive animals. ⺠We presented wild and captive spotted hyaenas with the same novel technical problem. ⺠Captives were better than wild hyaenas at solving the problem. ⺠Captives showed more diverse exploratory behaviour and were less neophobic. ⺠Captive studies of animal innovation may suffer from low external validity.
