I am a spotted hyena.
We are mammals that live in clans.
Where do you live?
We live in Africa.
We love the savanna.
You look like a dog.
Spotted hyenas are more like cats.
We run fast, and we see well.
That makes us good hunters.
What do you eat?
We hunt wildebeests and antelope with our clans.
Large clans hunt even bigger animals like rhinos.
We also eat other animals' leftovers.
Do you ever hunt alone?
We hunt small prey by ourselves.
We eat the whole animal—even their teeth!
Spotted hyenas make lots of sounds, right?
Yes. We can howl and wail.
We can make a loud laughing sound too.
Do you have any enemies?
Well, lions and hyenas like the same food.
Sometimes lions steal our meals.
They also attack us.
Oh! I see a big lion.
I'll call my clan for help. Bye!
Good-bye, Spotted Hyena!
