Female Spotted Hyenas: Commanders of the Clan

by Jaclyn Jaycox

Overview

A group of spotted hyenas has just killed a gazelle. It’s time to eat! But not every hyena digs in at once. The females eat first. Next, cubs eat, and then the males. In a hyena clan, females rule! They hunt, care for young, and protect the clan’s territory. Take a look at spotted hyenas and the important roles females play to ensure the clan’s survival.
