How do you pronounce ヒョウ (panther) in Japanese?

Question:


the translator lady at google speaks too fast.

Answer:


It's hyou.

The pronunciation is pretty simple, I don't know how else to describe it other than 'hyo' with a bit of 'u' at the end.
Or maybe like saying 'snow' but with the final 'w' sound coming more from your throat and less from your lips.
