Animals and Vegetation in East Africa - Ngorongoro Area Tanzania 2012 - Three spotted hyenas rest comfortably on a dirt track, surrounded by short, vibrant green grass. The animals appear relaxed and still, lying close to the ground in a peaceful scene of the African savanna. Their sloping backs, rounded ears, and coarse tan coats with dark spots are clearly visible. Spotted hyenas often seek refuge and rest during the day, becoming more active during the cooler nighttime hours. They are opportunistic eaters, consuming meat and even bones, utilizing their powerful jaws to break down tough food sources. They play an important role in the ecosystem as scavengers and predators. Species common name: Spotted hyena Family: Hyaenidae Scientific name: Crocuta crocuta
