	Hyena - LoveToKnow 1911
		HYENA, a name applicable to all the representatives of the mammalian family Hyaenidae, a group of Carnivora allied to the civets.
		Although hyenas are now confined to the warmer regions of the Old World, fossil remains show that they had a more northerly range during Tertiary times; the European cave-hyena being a form of the spotted species, known as H.
		Fossil hyenas occur in the Lower Pliocene of Greece, China, India, andc.; while remains indistinguishable from those of the striped species have been found in the Upper Pliocene of England and Italy.

	Hyena's future no laughing matter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Brown Hyena Research Project was founded in 1997 by Ingrid Wiesel and initially addressed conservation issues with the help of ecological and behavioural research on brown hyenas and their main prey, the Cape fur seal.
		The objective now is to carry out research into the brown hyena in its natural habitat to ensure the long-term conservation and survival of free-ranging brown hyenas; and to study the influence of mining activities, the destruction of habitat and to record changes in activity patters, behaviour and reproductive success.
		Brown hyenas are scavengers and are often found wandering the streets of Luederitz and the town's surrounding areas.

	Habitat
		The brown hyena is a solitary forager, feeding opportunistically on a variety of scavenged animal remains (Mills 1983a, Mills 1983b, Skinner et al.
		Brown hyenas are also known to show aggressive behavior toward intruding hyenas at the territorial boundary, mainly in the form of aggressive neck-biting (Mills 1983b, Owens and Owens 1996).
		Both authors familiar with the brown hyena suggest that this nonparental aid is a form of kin altruism that enhances the inclusive fitness of the individuals performing the altruistic act (Owens and Owens 1984b, Mills 1983a).
