    • There are dog-like and cat-like hyenas. A really long time ago, hyenas split into two groups. One branch evolved to be like dogs, and the other grew to look a bit more like cats, at least in the formation of their jaw.
    • They’re bone crushers. As we mentioned, the dog-like hyenas went one way, and the cat-like hyenas another. The latter developed a useful survival tactic that may have helped them survive: they evolved to crush and eat bone.
    • There was once a 200kg hyena that could crush elephant bones. One of these hyenas was an absolute monster. Pachycrocuta brevirostris, a giant hyena, and the largest bone-crusher ever known, evolved alongside early humans, and competed for the same food source.
    • Their poo is white. Because of their incredible ability to digest basically everything, all that’s left in their waste is the calcium from all the bone they eat.
