A common animal in Africa, hyenas are an important part of most of its ecosystem. Possessing very strong jaws helps them become fearsome carnivores, able to kill large animals such as zebras, wildebeest, wild buffalo…

The sly hyenas have long been branded as cowards and scavengers. In fact, they are powerful predators, not only picking up carcasses, but also regularly hunting and killing prey within their range.

According to observations, 95% of the food of hyenas is hunted by them. They even kill and eat lion cubs, leopards and other predators when the herd is strong enough and large enough.
