Spotted hyena

The Spotted Hyena(crocuta crocuta)is a large carnivore '''scavenger, that feeds on the left overs from other big cats. Spotted hyenas have good hearing and sharp eyesight at night. They are fast runners and can run distances without tiring. They live together in clans, and there is 80 hyena's in a clan. as well as a scavenger they are also skilled hunters that can take down wildebeest or antelope.  One strategy is for a single hyena to cause confusion in the herd, while the others in the pack pick off an older or weaker member and chase the rest away. Packs work together effectively to isolate a herd. They can weigh up to '''10 to 190 lbs (50 to 86 kg).The victors often squabble over the spoils, either among themselves or with other powerful animals like lions.

Spotted hyenas are quite vocal and make a wide variety of sounds, including the "laughing" that has long been associated with their name.
