Are hyena a specialist predator or general predator?

Hyenas are generalist predators, meaning that they have a wide, opportunistic diet and are not specialized in hunting or consuming a particular type of prey. They are known for their scavenging behavior and often feed on carcasses left behind by other predators or those that have died from natural causes. Hyenas will also actively hunt and prey upon various animals, including gazelles, zebras, wildebeests, and smaller mammals like rodents and hares. Their diverse diet allows them to adapt to different habitats and environmental conditions, making them successful predators in various ecosystems.
