	Lioncrusher's Domain -- Hyaenidae

	Striped Hyena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Striped Hyena (Hyaena hyaena) is closely related to the Brown Hyena.
		In Africa the striped hyena is invariably dominated in feeding disputes against the larger apex carnivores such as lions and spotted hyena (though fabled hyena biologist Hans Kruuk has stated that there does appear to be some form of 'attraction' between the two hyenid species).
		Striped hyenas have been known to kill humans, especially children, and they are often poisoned and trapped for preying on livestock or raiding farms.

	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.
