Hyenas are pretty cool and smart

They are built for hunting megafauna

They also have the gene that gives them a winter coat if they're cold

So far as I'm aware they're the only animals that break open bones to eat the marrow - theyre pretty resourceful like that

The reason they're the only ones is because they have a stupid amount of bite force

A lot of people think hyenas steal from lions but its largely the other way around

The laugh that spotted hyenas are known for is actually really complex and can convey to other hyenas a lot of other info, such as age, sex, and place in their social hierarchy

Also hyena clans have complex matriarchal social hierarchies

Also as seen in the gifs, spotted hyenas are born with solid coats and develop their spotted ones over time
