Description
An infographic on spotted hyenas, where it presents the feeding and hunting behaviours. The main aspects displayed are about the influences that affect the feeding and hunting behaviour observed. The key influences are social hierarchy, prey abundance and size, and spotted hyenas primary feeding source.
