Hyenas: Built for the Hunt

At about the height of large dogs, hyenas aren’t the world’s biggest predators. But they make up for their size with speed and stamina. A hyena can keep chasing prey for more than three miles! Readers will learn about what makes hyenas such deadly predators, from their hunting styles to what they like to eat. Fun Facts and an Amazing but True section will thrill readers and give them a closer look at the lives of these fierce creatures.
