Hyena
A doglike carnivore that is a renowned scavenger. Hyenas have powerful jaws capable of crushing large bones that other predators cannot eat. The hyena's range spans Africa, the Middle East, and southwestern Asia, including India. In prehistoric times, hyenas also roamed Europe. Their habitat is usually open plains and grasslands, but they are sometimes found in rocky terrain, brush-covered areas, and open forests.
There are three species of hyenas: the spotted hyena, the striped hyena, and the brown hyena. Of these, the spotted hyena is the largest, measuring about 2 m long. It weighs up to 86 kg. Adults of this species are brown-gray with dark brown or black spots. The spotted hyena is sometimes called the laughing hyena.
The size of striped and brown hyenas ranges in length from 1.2 to 1.5 m and weigh from 25 to 55 kg Striped hyenas are yellow-brown with dark stripes, and brown hyenas have dark brown coats with distinct stripes on the legs. Both of these species have upright manes on their necks and backs.
The hyena has large, muscular front legs and smaller back legs. Each foot has four toes with nonretractable claws that help hyenas to run on the open plains. Hyenas heads have massive jaws and teeth.
They are most active as night scavengers feeding on the body parts left behind. They are able to bite through tough hides and crush and digest large bones. Hyenas also make their own kills attacking sheep, goats, wildebeest, and other animals, and they will form packs of ten or more to bring down a zebra.
Hyenas usually associate in strongly territorial clans of 10 to 12 females, 20 young, known as whelps, and a number of males on the fringes. They do not pair bonding and the larger female selects her mating partners.
