Indian Striped Hyena,(Hyaena hyaena), scavenging Blackbuck wolf kill, Velavadar National Park, Gujarat, India

---

A striped hyena feeding on a blackbuck killed by an Indian striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena) is a species of 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.
