What is a hyena niche's?

Hyenas occupy a unique ecological niche as both scavengers and predators, playing a crucial role in their ecosystems. They are known for their opportunistic feeding habits, often scavenging on carcasses left by larger predators while also hunting for their own prey. This dual role helps to control prey populations and recycle nutrients back into the environment. Their complex social structures and vocal communication also contribute to their success in various habitats, from savannas to grasslands.
