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).
