Hyenas are interesting animals. They are the most common large carnivore in Africa. Unlike most other mammals, the female hyenas are larger than the males and more dominant. The genitals of the female hyena also looks similar to the male's genitalia, so many people get confused and think that hyenas are hermaphroditic. Hyenas eat a lot of bones, and the minerals in the bones make their feces white instead of brown. They can digest almost every part of their prey except for hair, horns or hooves, and they regurgitate these instead of passing them through the digestive tract. Hyenas have a distinctive "laugh" call that signals food - it can be heard as far as three miles away.
