Hyena Written by Mackie Checked by Simon

A hyena’s habitat includes grassy woodlands, forest edges, and deserts and mountains that are up to 13,000 feet high. They usually eat dead animals that have been killed by other animals, or have died some other way. Hyenas eat fruits, vegetables, dead carcases. Sometimes bones, horns, hooves and even teeth are completely digested within 24 hours. Hyena’s predators are larger animals than themselves and they are animals such as, lions, cheetahs, leopards, crocodiles and eagles. The female spotted hyena is bigger than the male, it outweighs them by three pounds.
