Description: The Brown Hyena is the second creation by me (ZKM) and it is one of the best.

The brown hyena is perhaps the biggest mammal that makes most of its living off scavenging -- a rarity among land-bound life forms larger than insects. Even more surprisingly, it manages to make a living this way in an arid habitat without great herds of herbivores, where carcasses must be few and far between. It's easy to see why its range is now so limited; harder to see how it evolved in the first place. Perhaps it was not always as dependent upon carrion as it is now

Brown Hyena

After the lion, the brown hyena is the second largest carnivore in Africa.
Although brown hyenas will scavenge food whenever possible, even daring to
steal kills from other carnivores, they are also efficient pack hunters, able
to take down adult wildebeests and zebras.
