  • Although Hyenas can hunt for themselves targeting wildebeest, various antelopes & other animals, they are often known for scavenging. Here’s a few photos of natures scavengers hard at work ✨

Hyenas are important for the environment & here’s five reasons why;

1. Hyenas play a crucial role as scavengers, cleaning up carrion and preventing the spread of disease.

2. Ecosystem Balancers by controlling prey populations, hyenas help maintain a balanced ecosystem, supporting biodiversity.

3. Their feeding habits contribute to nutrient cycling, enriching the soil and promoting plant growth.

4. Hyenas compete with other predators, influencing their behavior and population dynamics, which shapes the ecosystem.

5. Their complex social systems offer insights into animal behavior, enhancing our understanding of wildlife dynamics.
