The fresh-dusty morning sunlight, dappled across the landscape, does little to improve the appearance of this family of Spotted Hyenas, gnawing on a recently dead Zebra. There's little left of the Zebra except bones, one with a distinctive piece of striped hide left attached. Hyenas won't come around while the Lion is still feeding. Or, maybe the Hyenas killed this Zebra. Predators It's difficult describing just what makes the Hyena ugly.
Black spots seem haphazardly splashed on a tawny-reddish background.
The coat is scruffy, as if they had just gotten Out of bed and forgotten to brush their hair. A broad, round head holds beady eyes, framed with a dark, dirty-looking muzzle. The head seems too small for the massive shoulders, and rear legs are out of proportion as well. There's no word other than ugly. They easily bring down Zebras, even Wildebeest and larger prey.
