The 'family' unit of hyenas, the clan, is led by a dominant female, called the matriarch, and consists of anywhere from 5 to 90 members.
The collective nouns for hyenas are:a clan of hyenasa cackle of hyenas
Female hyenas
They are called "clans" not "packs," and there used to be about 500 HYENAS in a clan! Now since hyena numbers are going down, there are only around 80 in a clan.
20 hyenas can bring down an adult female african elephant.
The noun 'clan' is a singular, common, concrete noun; a word for a group of people or animals. The noun 'clan' functions as a standard collective noun for a clan of badgers, a clan of hyenas, a clan of Scots.
Hyenas are a mammalian species- they have both genders. Hrmaphrodites could exist- as with humans- but as freaks, not normal offspring. It is no laughing matter, by the way. ( Hyenas linked with oohh oooh haa hahh stuff.)
Yes. Hyena communities, called clans, are headed by a female called the matriarch. All the other females in the clan have a distinct role in a hierarchy; just as there is only one matriarch, there is only one female hyena below the matriarch and above all other, and below her is a female hyena subordinate to the hyena beneath the matriarch and above all the others, and so on, until the lowest ranking female is reached-who is still superior to every male in the clan.The reasons for female dominance are not surprising: female hyenas are larger, stronger, and more aggressive than males.
hyenas make a high screech that human cannot hear .
There are no alpha male hyenas as in terms of canines or felines. Hyenas have a matriarchal society (like elephants). So, the males would be submissive to the clan mother. Even if they did fight the clan the results would not be in favour of success.
