Do hyenas eat monkeys or giraffes?

Hyenas are opportunistic feeders and can eat a variety of animals, including monkeys and young giraffes, especially when food is scarce. However, they primarily hunt smaller mammals and scavenging is a significant part of their diet. While it’s not common for hyenas to target adult giraffes due to their size and strength, they may occasionally scavenge on carcasses if the opportunity arises.
