Abstract
⺠We validated a cortisol-3-CMO enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for spotted hyenas. ⺠The EIA detected several cortisol metabolites produced by spotted hyenas. ⺠The EIA measured elevated fGCM levels after ACTH challenge and anaesthesia. ⺠When young, juveniles experience a more unpredictable environment than when older. ⺠When young, juveniles had higher fGCM levels than when older.
