Synopsis

Spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta), Africa's largest among three hyena species, inhabit diverse habitats like savannas, swamps, and forests. Spotted hyenas face numerous threats due to conflict that arises with humans due to livestock predation, leading to retaliatory killings. As of 2014, the spotted hyenas are listed as Least Concern, accessed through the IUCN.
