The striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena) is a species of hyena native to North and East Africa, the Middle East, the Caucasus, Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. It is the only extant species in the genus Hyaena. The striped hyena is a primarily nocturnal animal, which typically only leaves its den at the onset of total darkness, returning before sunrise. Striped hyenas typically live alone or in pairs. Order: Carnivora > Suborder: Feliformia > Family: Hyaenidae > Subfamily: Hyaeninae > Genus: Hyaena > Species: Hyaena hyaena
