After the lion, the spotted hyena is the second largest carnivore in Africa. Although spotted hyenas will scavenge food whenever possible, even daring to steal kills from other carnivores, they are also efficient pack hunters, able to take down adult wildebeests and zebras. The native habitat of the spotted hyena is the wide savannah of central and southern Africa. The hyena roams the open savannah, often resting in the shady dirt beneath the various trees. Hyenas in captivity strongly prefer settings resembling their natural habitats. The hyena is a highly social animal that lives in matriarchal clans of 35 to 80 individuals. Male and female hyenas possess reproductive organs that are similar in appearance, making it difficult to differentiate between the genders in this species. Hyenas are among the noisiest of African mammals, with 11 different sounds and calls. Angry hyenas will emit a number of vocalizations, including a loud whoop and a high, cackling laugh. A loud hyena is often an angry one. Hyenas have wonderfully efficient digestive systems, which are capable of digesting the bones, horns, and even teeth of their prey. In captivity, hyenas are supplied with a steady diet of meat and dry foods. Hyenas prefer to drink every night if water is available, but like many savannah animals, they can do without water if necessary. Waterholes provide an additional benefit for the hyena in that they attract other animals upon which the hyena preys. Hyenas have a contentious relationship with most other animals on the African savannah. Generally, the hyenas are either trying to steal their food or kill them. Lions and hyenas have a particular dislike for one another. Adult male lions will go out of their way to kill hyenas; perhaps because it is not uncommon for a pack of hyenas to chase away lions from a fresh kill. |
