Best Answer

The spotted hyena is a skillful hunter but also an opportunistic scavenger. It consumes animals of various types and sizes, carrion, bones, vegetable matter and other animals' droppings. The powerful jaws and digestive tract of the hyena allow it to process and obtain nutrients from skin and bones. The only parts of prey not fully digested are hair, horns and hooves; these are regurgitated in the form of pellets.

hyenas eat dead animals they find. They don't tend to hunt for themselves they just find dead animals and eat them. They prefer eating skin and bone to meat but they eatit anyway. They can not digest hair and horns but really they will eat anything

The closest match to hygena is the hyena. The hyena has no predators that eat it. A lion will kill a hyena if it gets in the way, but he won't eat it. Wild dogs will sometimes fight bloody battles with hyenas, but they don't eat them either.
