With their mischievous grins and distinctive manes, they are ready to bring plenty of adventure and laughter into your home. Let’s dive into the fascinating world of hyenas and discover why these creatures – and their plush counterparts – are so special.

Life and Behaviour in the Wild
In the wild, hyenas are known for being highly adaptable and intelligent hunters. They live in large clans led by dominant females. These pack structures help them hunt efficiently and defend their prey. Hyenas are notorious for both hunting and scavenging – earning them the reputation of opportunistic omnivores. A typical behaviour of these animals is their loud and distinctive laughter, which serves both to communicate and to intimidate other animals.

Habitat and Lifestyle
Hyenas are primarily found in Africa south of the Sahara, though some species also occur in parts of Asia. They prefer open savannas, grasslands, and sometimes semi-arid regions. These animals are nocturnal and often spend the day in their dens to escape the heat. At night, they set out on extensive foraging trips across their large territories. Their robust bodies and powerful jaws make them effective hunters and scavengers, able to handle nearly any situation.

Quirky Hyena Facts
Did you know that hyenas have some of the strongest jaws in the animal kingdom? Their bite force is so powerful that they can effortlessly crush bones to access the nutritious marrow inside. Additionally, hyenas are fascinating creatures with a unique social system dominated by females. These females are often larger and more aggressive than the males, which is quite unusual in the animal world. Hyenas also have an unusually high tolerance for anthrax, giving them an advantage when it comes to foraging.
Did you know that spotted hyenas are not only famous for their eerie laugh but are also quite peculiar animals? Here’s a taste of some quirky facts: Hyenas have a hierarchy that puts even the strictest monarchies to shame!
