There are four species of hyena. Most people think of the spotted hyena, which is a carnivore, meaning it only eats meat. The brown and striped hyenas are mostly carnivorous scavengers, but they do occasionally eat fruit. Aardwolves are insectivores, whose diet is made up mostly of termites.

No! Ferrets and hyenas both eat meat. Ferrets were originally bred to hunt rabbits so naturally, they eat meat. Hyenas eat meat and are one of the few animals on earth that eat and digest bones as well.
