| Hyena |
|
| Hyaenidae |
| Hyena's have a false reputation as scavengers, they are in fact excellent pack hunters and often bullied out of their kills by lions. Hyena's will eat just about anything including bones and animal droppings. They have a range of vocal sounds and do actually laugh though the sound is used to express fear, not joy. There are four species across Africa, each with a distinct look - the brown hyena has striped legs and a dark coat, the spotted hyena has a large head and neck. |
