spotted hyena

  Spotted hyenas compete with the lion, king of beasts.

Commonly reviled as a lowly scavenger, the hyena is, in fact, a highly skilled and successful predator which has experienced a dwindling population in the wild. Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is researching potential breeding opportunities within the Edge of Africa® habitat to contribute to the future protection of hyenas.
