What do Striped Hyenas look like?
Striped Hyenas look a lot like your average hyena. They have high shoulders, with their back sloping down to their rear. Striped Hyenas are smaller than Spotted Hyenas, although only marginally, and they are thinner as well. At the shoulders, adult Striped Hyenas stand about 29 inches tall, and are about 4.25 ft long. Their tails account for about 11 inches of their length though. Striped Hyenas are a light grey in color and also have black stripes (hence their name); these show on their back and on their legs. Black fur is also dominant on their muzzle and on their throats. Their fur is long, shaggy and disheveled looking.
