Indian Striped Hyena
The Nocturnal Scavenger

Native to several parts of the world, the Striped Hyena is the smallest of the hyena species. Attributing to a decline in its population, the Striped Hyena has been listed as a near-threatened species. Like others of the same species, it is nocturnal and a scavenger. A rather sly animal, the striped hyena plays dead when attacked.
