	San Diego Zoo's Animal Bytes: Striped hyena
		• The mongoose and the meerkat are the hyena's closest relatives.
		Hyenas can hear sounds that human ears cannot, and they listen for sounds from other predators that may lead them to a kill that is miles away.
		Striped hyenas at the San Diego Zoo and the Wild Animal Park are fed carnivore diet, assorted fruits and vegetables, a mouse or rat, and small bones.

	Hyena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hyenas (or Hyænas) are moderately large terrestrial carnivores native to Africa and the Indian Subcontinent.
		Hyenas have no illusions about their power, and only hunt the prey they are able to at the specific time (four hyenas, for example, wouldn‘t even try hunting down a zebra).
		However, hyenas have learned to deal with this and usually they are fortunate enough to call more of the clan together and take their prey back, unless an adult male lion is present, as male lions seem to truly terrify hyenas and hyenas rarely challenge them.

	About Hyena
		Hyenas are generally thought to form an evolutionary "link" between dogs and cats, being more closely related to cat.
		Hyenas are generally thought of as scavengers, but in fact they are skilled hunters that are quite capable of taking down large prey, except for the aardwolf, which feeds almost entirely on termites.
		Relying primarily on their sense of smell, the hyena is able to signal in on other species, such as lions and cheetahs, to locate possible food sources.
