Hyenas are in the family Hyaenidae; there are multiple hyena species across three distinct genera within this family.
the spotted and the brown hyena
hyena. i am pretty sure they are their own species or somthing like that. the other three are pure cats.(is that what you are asking for? which one is not related.)
A female hyena is typically called a female hyena, and although as a doglike species you could also use the term for dogs, most articles refer to female hyenas as females. Interestingly, the spotted hyena females outweigh the males and are the leaders, but this is not true with other hyenas.

There are four species: spotted, brown, striped, and the aardwolf.
The species are incompatible and cannot interbreed.
There are 4 living species of hyena and they are named as follows:Striped Hyena - Hyaena hyaenaBrown Hyena - Hyaena brunnea (although formerly Parahyaena brunnea)Spotted Hyena (also called the Laughing Hyena) - Crocuta crocutaAardwolf - Proteles cristata
The hyena species are not members of the cat family. It is a member of the family Hyaenidae of the feliform suborder of the Carnivora.
