There are two areas Hyenas can live. The shy and much rarer, striped hyenas live in the Eastern part of Africa, and the smaller and even shyer brown hyenas live in the Southern part of Africa. The spotted hyenas are found in grasslands, woodlands, savannas, sub desserts, forest edges, sub desserts and mountains up to 13,000 feet. The hyena is the most abundant large carnivore. Hyenas only have a few predators they are: Lion, Leopard, Eagles, Humans and even Strange Hyenas. Hyenas are 28 -35 Inches tall and weigh up to 90 – 190 pounds. Their lifespan is about 25 years old. Hyenas keep themselves safe very well by camouflaging with their colours, stays in packs and they have the strongest animal jaws. http://www.savenues.com/wildli/wildlife_hyena.htm http://www.sa-venues.com/wildlife/wildlife_hyena.htm http://www.awf.org/content/wildlife/detail/hyena http://www.wildwatch.com/resources/mammals/hyena.asp
