Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Hyena cubs are born what color?

Answer: black

Hyena cubs are born black and at five months they begin to change to a spotted pattern.
2. Female hyenas are bigger than the males.

Answer: True

Females are bigger than the males, with studies theorizing that it is likely to be linked to their need to provide for their cubs. Young hyenas stay with their mothers much longer than most mammals, and the mother needs to make sure that the youngsters have the chance to feed.
3. There is a fight between a male and female hyena. Who is stronger?

Answer: female

The female hyena is indeed stronger then the male. Female hyenas dominate the smaller and weaker males in their social circles as well.
4. The aardwolf is recognized as part of the hyena family.

Answer: True

The aardwolf is part of the hyena family but it keeps to itself and is monogamous. It is also known as the civet hyena, and eats insects, mostly termites.
5. How big is the typical hyena litter?

Answer: 1-2 cubs

6. If two female hyena cubs are born, one female cub will most likely kill the other shortly after birth.

Answer: True

If a hyena mother bears two female cubs, one female cub will more than likely kill the other to ensure the dominant will survive. If a male cub and a female cub are born, both usually survive since the male is not a threat to the female cub.
7. A group of hyenas is called what?

Answer: a clan

A group of hyenas is called a clan.
8. The hyena's top speed is 20 miles per hour.

Answer: False

Hyenas can reach up to 30 miles per hour while hunting.
9. Should a mother hyena die, her sister will suckle her cubs until they are weaned and can go off on their own.

Answer: False

Should a mother hyena not come back, her cubs are left to die by starvation if not weaned yet. This again ensures that only the strong survive.
10. Hyenas arch enemies are?

Answer: lions

Lions and hyenas have been mortal enemies since the beginning of their times. Lions know who the matriarch of a hyena clans are and the hyenas know who is tops in the lion prides. Each clan or pride are always trying to kill off the leaders, to disrupt the others strength and also to make the other side weaker.
