Hyenas

The Hyaenidae family of feliform carnivorous animals includes hyenas. It is one of the smallest biological families in the class Mammalia and the fifth-smallest biological family in the Carnivora, with only four living species.

Due to convergent evolution, hyenas and canines share many behavioral and physical traits. Both species are non-arboreal, cursorial hunters that use their teeth rather than claws to capture prey. Their calloused feet with broad, blunt, nonretractable claws are ideal for running and making sharp turns. Both consume food quickly and have the ability to store it.

Hyenas are known for their propensity for scavenging, but that doesn't mean they don't occasionally hunt their own prey. Hyenas frequently hunt in packs, just like dogs and wolves, which can make them very dangerous baboon predators.

With one of the strongest jawbones of any animal in the world that is even capable of biting through bones, hyenas are shockingly swift and strong creatures. But hyenas don't kill their prey before eating it. They frequently chase animals in packs before using their speed to wear their prey down until they are exhausted. The pack will then pursue the animal and eventually catch it, eating it while it is still alive. There is frequently nothing a baboon can do to defend itself against a hyena due to both their extreme speed and the fact that they hunt in gangs.
