Spotted hyenas can run very quickly for very long distances, they are as agile as a mongoose, and the strength of their jaws is second only to that of the crocodile. The only thing in Africa that kills more prey than the spotted hyena is the female lion, which is the size of about three hyenas. The only thing that ever really tries to mess with hyenas are lions, and even when this happens the hyenas usually have enough protection in the fact that they travel in small hunting groups. In other words, the hyena doesn't protect itself--there is nothing it needs to be protected from.
