The Spotted Hyena (Crocuta crocuta) also known as Laughing Hyena, is a carnivorous mammal of the family Hyaenidae, of which it is the largest extant member. Though the species' prehistoric range included Eurasia extending from Atlantic Europe to China, it now only occurs in all of Africa south of the Sahara save for the Congo Basin. Female spotted hyenas are considerably larger than males, weighing 12% more. Adult male spotted hyenas in the Serengeti weigh 40.5-55.0 kg (89-121 lb), while females weigh 44.5-63.9 kg (98-141 lb).
