Hello, that is a very interesting question.
I highly doubt that one hyeana could kill, or eat a hippo.
Even a bunch of hyeana's would have a very hard time killing, or eating a full grown hippo. They may be able to catch a baby hippo, but that would also be hard because the mother would probably be around. Even Lion pride's have a hard time taking down hippo's, most of the time one lion or more gets injured or hurt and the whole pride runs away, therefore I highly doubt even a bunch of hyena's could take down a hippo even with there sneaky and cunning instinct.

First things first, You'll have to research bears specifically the type of bear you want to be. Secondly keep a journal of your experiences and facts. Next You'll want to go outside more study the wild life outside. After You'll want to PRAY to the bear god Kaiti. Most people think you turn into your spirit animal when you die but if you follow these steps like me I'm sure you will be able to turn into any animal YOU'D desire but one thing you might have to figure out the god of that animal cult.
