The striped hyena is smaller than its more famous spotted cousin, but it can be every inch as ferocious. This beast mainly eats animals that are already dead, crushing the bones and body parts into powder with powerful jaws and sturdy teeth. Though great at cleaning up a carcass, this hyena will sometimes hunt live prey, and has been known to attack humans. It's Tabaqui from The Jungle Book Shonen Mowgli Series They Are listed as near threatened, They Lived in Northern Africa and India, They only eat Mammals Reptiles dead animals insects and fruit,
It is the smallest of the bone-cracking hyenas and retains many primitive viverrid-like characteristics lost in larger species, having a smaller and less specialised skull. Though primarily a scavenger, large specimens have been known to kill their own prey, and attacks on humans have occurred in rare instances. The striped hyena is a monogamous animal, with both males and females assisting one another in raising their cubs. A nocturnal animal, the striped hyena typically only emerges in complete darkness, and is quick to return to its lair before sunrise. Although it has a habit of feigning death when attacked, it has been known to stand its ground against larger predators in disputes over food.
The striped hyena features prominently in Middle Eastern and Asian folklore. In some areas, its body parts are considered magical, and are used as charms or talismans. It is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, where it is referred to as tzebua or zevoa, though it is absent in some Bible translations into English. Ancient Greeks knew it as γλάνος (glános) and ύαινα (húaina) and were familiar with it from the Aegean coast of Asia Minor. The striped hyena is the national animal of Lebanon.
