Spotted Hyena

Hyenas are called the "garbage men of the savanna" because they can eat and digest things that other mammals cannot, such as rotten meat and bones. Although they may resemble dogs, they are actually relatives of the musk cat. They commonly hunt in packs, as they have the stamina to steal prey from lions and run at speeds of 60km per hour.
