A spotted hyena walks along a dry dirt track in open savanna grassland. Low green bushes and short grass cover the flat ground in warm light. The scene conveys a sense of the African wilderness, showcasing the natural beauty and simplicity of the environment.
The hyena has a sandy coat with dark spots, a sloping back, strong front legs, and a sturdy head. It moves at an easy walking pace through open habitat where it can travel between feeding areas. The animal?s posture and gait suggest confidence and ease within its surroundings.
Spotted hyenas are both hunters and scavengers that eat meat, bone, and carrion, and they can crack large bones with powerful jaws. They live in social clans and use whoops, giggles, and scent marks to communicate and defend territory.
