The Hyena trying to attach the Honeyburger which its on its way finding its food for the day but they fail to attack the honeyburger since it have the hard skin and the way it react to the hyenas.
Because there is no breeding season and because the cubs will stay there for another
year at least, there are usually cubs of several different ages at the den. This makes
learning from social interactions easier and speedier than is often the case with
spotted hyaena. It also makes the need for an adult baby-sitter obsolete. The cubs
are proVIsioned with food at the den by all temales and sub-adults of both sexes,
and even sometimes adult males. Communal suckling, as with Ilions, occurs as well.
The cubs start foraging alone from about fifteen months, and are independent at
approximately two years. Members of both sexes usually remain in the natal area,
for some time at least, but they may also disperse after a delayed period, particularly
males. The brown hyaenas, inhabiting semi-arid or drier areas where food is
scarce, are almost entirely scavengers. They are usually seen alone. Individuals meet
tleetingly before they go their separate ways. They do not exhibit the elaborate
greeting ceremony witnessed in spotties.
Spotted hyaenas are the most obviously social species. Their largest aggregations
constitute the biggest large carnivore social group in the world (banded mongoose
have bigger units as an extreme). The basic social unit is a matriarchal clan (similar
to elephant society) where all females usually dominate and outrank all males,
and there is a clear hierarchy within each sex. Females are bigger than males and,
because they dominate food resources, tend to stay that way. As in brown hyaena,
use is made of a communal den, the difference being that it is utilized from as to break bones themselves e.g.Tortoises willbeat the dung for their own shell development and when laying eggs.
