Hyenas are classified in the family Hyaenidae, which is part of the order Carnivora. This family includes four extant species: the spotted hyena, striped hyena, brown hyena, and aardwolf. Despite their dog-like appearance, hyenas are more closely related to cats, sharing a common ancestor with them. They are further categorized into two subfamilies: Hyaeninae (true hyenas) and Protelinae (aardwolves).

Hyenas are not considered tertiary animals; they are classified as secondary consumers in their ecosystems. They primarily feed on herbivores and, in some cases, scavenged food. As opportunistic feeders, they play a vital role in the food chain, helping to control prey populations and clean up carrion.
