Information about the Striped Hyena:

The Striped Hyena is a species of true hyena native to North and East Africa, the Middle East, the Caucasus, Central Asia and the Indian Subcontinent. It is listed by the IUCN as near threatened, as the global population is estimated to be under 10,000 mature individuals which continues to experience deliberate and incidental persecution along with a decrease in its prey base such that it may come close to meeting a continuing decline of 10% over the next three generations. It is the smallest of the true hyenas and retains many primitive viverrid characteristics lost in larger species, having a smaller and less specialized skull. Though primarily a scavenger, large specimens have been known to kill their own prey, and attacks on humans have occurred on rare instances. The striped hyena is a monogamous animal, with both males and females assisting one another in raising their cubs. A nocturnal animal, the striped hyena typically only emerges in complete darkness, and is quick to return to its lair before sunrise. Though it has a habit of feigning death when attacked, it has also been known to stand its ground against larger predators such as leopards in disputes over food.

Description

Fine art illustration of a Striped Hyena (Hyaena hyaena.) The illustration is available in black and white or color.

Artist’s notes:

The Striped Hyena was completed in the summer/fall of 2015. I read that there were four species of of the genus Hyaena, and as I had already drawn one of them (the Spotted Hyena) so I completed the other three to finish off the genus. It’s too bad that this animal has such a bad reputation, as they are intelligent, social and amazing creatures.
