The female spotted hyena is considerably bigger and stronger than the male, which is why the females run the hyena 'clans'.
Hunting...breeding...and beating up on the males in the pack....messing with lions
No, they do not. A single female Spotted Hyena can be in charge of a pack of up to 90 hyenas; plus they not only outsize and outweigh the males, but they also feature a reproductive system that is almost identical to a set of penis & testicles...no joke! The clitoris is extended about 6" and the labia are fused into a simulacrum of the scrotum, and it's believed that this helps to ensure that the female only copulates when she desires to do so.
A pack or group of hyenas are called a cackle.
Alpha-males/females
Look at that pack of hyenas!
Yes, a dominant female leads a pack of elephants. She is known as the dominant matriarchal cow. She uses verbal and nonverbal communication to lead.
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.
Females are vital members of the pack, helping with the hunt and with raising the alpha pair's pups. They have many of the same duties and roles as the males.
Well the Alpha Male and Female lead the pack together. It's just that one is more dominant than the other. In some cases a male is more dominant. In other cases a female is more dominant. It could go either way. In a wolf pack strength and speed are important. If you're stronger than another wolf your rank will be higher than others, but the main thing that determines the leader is the genes. There is a gene called the alphetic gene. This push's the wolf to become more dominant and more aggressive so that they are the leaders. This is why some wolves leave the pack to start another. So there is not just one wolf that leads. Both the Alpha's lead, just one is more dominant.
A lion can kill a hyena, but a pack of hyenas can kill a lion. Both are predators.
it all depends on how many there are in a pack
Not usually. The only couple in a wolf pack are the alpha female and the alpha male. but on rare occasions there can be more than one. but usually alphas are only ones who can mate
