The hyena is actually a brave nocturnal hunter in it’s own right. The hyenas food is any kind of meat and any animal but not plants. The cries of hyenas attract lions and other animals. There are four different species of hyenas. Hyenas have body shapes like dogs so when you’re hunting it’s not a cute dog. Hyenas are vicious scary laughs like a human carnivore tanish brown black dotted killing machine. Hyenas kill only if you bother them or startle them.
