Aren't hyenas both scavengers and bone crushers?
-
Heard this too, our guide on safari in Etosha National Park (Namibia) said Hyenas have the strongest biting power - comparative to their overall sizes - in the world.
EDIT: okay, just fact checked myself - that's not entirely true. when measuring BFQ (comparative to size) the order goes:
- Tasmanian devil
- Jaguar
- Wolverine
- Spotted Hyena

+1,000 for Wolverines ... I have a whole bunch of old family including my father who were hunters and trappers in northern Ontario. We're Indigenous Cree / Ojibway and I've never seen a wolverine ever in the north but all my old relatives either talk about them with fear or animosity. These old hunters and trappers respected bears, revered wolves and were absolutely terrified of wolverines .... they describe them as being as intelligent as a wolf, as powerful as a bear and as arrogant and fearless as a skunk. There was a reason why these animals were hunted to near extinction in the Canadian wilderness ... they had no equal and these animals were not afraid of anyone including humans. They were hunted and killed on sight because they were actual competition to traditional hunters and they will even tear apart any trapped animal and ruin a kill.
Bears will stand their ground but have a timidness to anything unusual and will often gauge a situation and more often than not just leave. Wolves will actively try to avoid even meeting people and they will sense you before you even seen and disappear. But if you ever come across a wolverine, you are in trouble.

Hmm, a Tasmanian Devil looks like someone crossed a bear and a rat.
-
Funny thing about your list is 3 of those animals are in the same family
-
The teeth would seem to suggest that yeah
-
Why yes,
Hyenas are what you get if you take a cat build and use a mix of dog and vulture play style.
Pretty OP, not gonna lie
-
More a mix of cat, wolf and a bear trap. Terrible to be killed by Hyenas, Lions kill you fast before they eat you, Hyenas not, they begin to eat directly, beginning with your belly and other soft parts. You'll die sometimes while they eat you 🥶☠️

They are "everything-they-can-sink-their-teeth-into'res".
They'll take down lions if they know they have them out numbered.
-
Poor Scar. Shared the same philosophy with Hopper in Bug's Life. Keep the ants down and not aware of their numbers, you can be king.

-
They do eat bones, but spotted hyenas scavenge/hunt about as much as lions do.
-
It's usually actually the lions which scavenge hyena kills, not the other way around.
It was, until recently, believed that Lions were the so called 'king of the beasts' and that they lauded over all but studies have found that in many areas Hyenas are dominant over Lions.
In many areas of Africa the Hyena hunts more food than it scavengers and Lions scavenge more than they hunt. Hyenas react very differently to male and female Lions.

I "heard" that title to the tune of "Immigrant Song"

Awww sleepy forbidden puppies 🥹
-
My, what nice teeth you have, Mr Wolf. Mr Hyena is overdue for a cleaning, maybe some invisaligns.
-
It's close, but aren't hyenas technically feline?
-
They are under felifomia which are cat like, but includes stuff that are not true cats as well. But they are closer to cats than dogs, yes.
-
Oh that's so cool, thank you!
-
-
Nope, they are in a different group than felines or canines.
-
Theyre their own genus.
-
-
Hyena: better to have and not need Wolf: I have what I need
-
Hyenas are fucking terrifying
-

-
Mmm, yes, I can see that they both have pointy teeth
-
Hyena teeth look like something AI would generate .
