How far away can a hyena smell?

It is difficult to give an exact distance for how far a hyena can smell. The distance depends on several factors, including:

* Wind conditions: Scent travels further with the wind.

* The type and strength of the scent: Stronger smells, like carrion, can be detected from farther away.

* Individual hyena: Some hyenas may have a stronger sense of smell than others.

However, hyenas are known to have a very strong sense of smell, some sources estimate that they can smell carrion from up to 6 miles away.

Keep in mind that this is an estimation, and the actual distance will vary.
