Hyenas are scavengers.
Every living thing is part of one food chain or another. A lion is the top predator in its food chain, and in the African savanna food web, it is at the same level as hunting dogs, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas
African herbivores such as antelopes, zebras, and elephants eat grass, and are in turn eaten by predators like lions, hyenas, and leopards. This forms a food chain in the African savannah ecosystem.
yes they are at the bottom of the food chain
Nope. The primary producer is at the bottom. Hyenas would be near the top, if not the very peak.No they are not.
Hyenas are not at the bottom of the food chain. Plants are at the bottom of a food chain or food pyramid. Hyenas are top carnivores and sometimes scavengers; they are at the top (not including decomposers who would be at the very top). The phrase "bottom of the food chain" was a social insult meant to say that they are easily eaten by others. However, in reality, hyenas are similar to lions in food chain "level".
the hyenas
Hyenas are top predators in the food chain. They've even been known to eat other top predators, including lionesses. Similarly, other predators do not eat hyenas with the exception of lions and wild dogs. Hyenas are considered a keystone species which means a specie that make a profound on the habitat and ecosystems where they live. In other words, predation is not the only role that hyenas serve; without their presence, the food chain and local ecosystems would be negatively impacted.
a hyenas favorit food is zebras
Monkeys eat plants, fruits, and vegetables. But jackals, tigers, hyenas, and lions eat monkeys.
In a savanna food chain, grass is eaten by zebras, which are then hunted by lions. The lions may also scavenge on the remains left by hyenas. This creates a simple food chain of grass → zebra → lion → hyena.
