Hyenas are dog-like carnivores with coarse fur that live in Asia and Africa. They are known for scavenging, and are the most common large carnivore in Africa. There are three species of hyenas: spotted, brown, and striped. Spotted hyenas are the largest, with short torsos, sloping backs, and lower hindquarters. They have excellent night vision and hearing, and are fast runners. Hyenas are omnivorous and eat a variety of animals, including carrion, bones, vegetable matter, and other animal droppings.

Hyenas have long forelegs, a powerful neck, and shoulders for dismembering and carrying prey. They are non-arboreal, cursorial hunters that catch prey with their teeth rather than claws. Hyenas are widespread and found in most habitats. 
Here are some other characteristics of hyenas:
Spotted hyena
Live in large groups called clans, which can include up to 80 individuals and are led by females. They are found throughout Africa and eastwards through Arabia to India.
Striped hyena
A nocturnal scavenging animal that only emerges in complete darkness, and is quick to return to its lair before sunrise. When alarmed, the animal can erect its guard hairs along the back. 
Hyenas are unique and vital components of most African ecosystems. They feature prominently in the folklore and mythology of human cultures that live alongside them.
