Mainly a lot of Spotted Hyenas are found in packs. Did you know that the women hyenas lead the pack and also do mostly everything first . One smart thing they do is scavenge when its necessary but what makes me think the Spotted Hyena is tough is because they use various techniques to attack plus the thing that helps them fight is with their powerful jaws!
