Hyaenidae is the family of carnivorous mammals that includes hyenas and the smaller aardwolf, recognized by their powerful build and strong jaws. These animals matter because they play an important role in their ecosystems as both hunters and scavengers, helping to control populations of other animals and clean up carrion.
