All hyenas are mostly carnivorous. The spotted hyena is an active hunter of ungulates. The brown and striped hyenas are both scavengers, but may occasionally eat some fruit. The aardwolf eats insects, mostly termites.

What are the hyenas role in the food web?

Hyenas are top predators in the food chain. They've even been known to eat other top predators, including lionesses. Similarly, other predators do not eat hyenas with the exception of lions and wild dogs. Hyenas are considered a keystone species which means a specie that make a profound on the habitat and ecosystems where they live. In other words, predation is not the only role that hyenas serve; without their presence, the food chain and local ecosystems would be negatively impacted.


Are they really at the bottom of the food chain the hyenas in lion king?

Hyenas are not at the bottom of the food chain. Plants are at the bottom of a food chain or food pyramid. Hyenas are top carnivores and sometimes scavengers; they are at the top (not including decomposers who would be at the very top). The phrase "bottom of the food chain" was a social insult meant to say that they are easily eaten by others. However, in reality, hyenas are similar to lions in food chain "level".
