HYENA
Three of the four species of hyena are restricted to sub-Saharan Africa,
where they live in environments such a savannah, bushland and desert. The
fourth species, the Striped Hyena, is found in northern and eastern Africa as
well as in Asia from the Middle East to India.
Dietary habits
Picture below is hyena feeding on a zebra carcass (the dead body of an
animal) in Masai Mara, Kenya.
Except for the aardwolf, all living hyena species are hunters and
scavengers. They have extremely strong
jaws in relation to their body size and have a very powerful digestive system
with highly acidic fluids, making them capable of eating and digesting their
entire prey, including skin, teeth, horns and bones. Hair and hooves are
usually regurgitated. Because their digestive system deals very well with
bacteria, they have no aversion to and readily eat carrion (the decaying flesh
of dead animals.)
