The spotted hyena is a skillful hunter but also an opportunistic scavenger. It consumes animals of various types and sizes, carrion, bones, vegetable matter and other animals' droppings. The powerful jaws and digestive tract of the hyena allow it to process and obtain nutrients from skin and bones. The only parts of prey not fully digested are hair, horns and hooves; these are regurgitated in the form of pellets.

Are all of the species of hyenas endangered?
Yes, Striped Hyenas are in danger of becoming extinct. They are listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, an endangered species list that is recognized as one of the leading world sources of information about animals threatened with extinction. The Striped Hyenas' endangered status is listed as "Near Threatened" by the IUCN Red List.
Additional Information: There are various lists used Internationally to document the status of endangered species of animals and other life forms. Each list uses its own internal terminology to describe the "degree" of the danger faced by the animal, or nearness to extinction they have placed it on their endangered list. These terms are defined by and used for each specific list's purposes and do not always translate directly from nation to nation or list to list. The appearance on the list, regardless of internal list terminology, is sufficient to arouse concern about endangerment and dictate a need for public awareness and protection to prevent actual extinction. See related links for IUCN 2008 Red List of Threatened Species.
