Brown hyenas can be found in southern Africa. They are very shaggy with brown body and tail hair, an orange neck, and striped legs,
Brown hyenas live in small clans of at least one adult male and one adult female. However, they usually forage alone.
These hyenas are primarily scavengers. They frequently scare other predators, such as cheetahs, leopards, or jackals, away from their kills. They supplement their diet by hunting small game, and with insects, fruit, and eggs.
