Did you know there are four species of hyena?

This time we @wildanimalplanet discuss about animals 4 species of Hyenas. ============================================================================ Hyenas, or hyaenas with only four extant species (each in its own genus), it is the fifth-smallest family in the Carnivora and one of the smallest in the class Mammalia. Despite their low diversity, hyenas are unique and vital components of most African ecosystems. Hyenas, which are part of the suborder Pheriformia, are phylogenetically close to cats and viverids, but have some behavioral and morphological similarities to canids due to convergent evolution. Neither hyenas nor canids live in trees and are elusive hunters, capturing prey with their teeth rather than their claws. Both can be eaten immediately and stored. And stiffened paws with large, blunt, non-retractable claws are good for running and making sharp turns. ============================================================================= Follow us : Youtube : Tiktok : @wapchannel ============================================================================ #wildanimals #wildlife #animals #hyenas #hyena #nature #africanwildanimals #wild #short #youtubeshort #dog #africandog
