Bold, beautiful, smart and really really weird. Very capable hunters, social, ferocious and, did I mention, really really weird. Crocuta crocuta, the Spotted Hyena. For a very interesting account of just how weird go <HERE>.
But briefly, the girls are bigger and stronger and have bigger dicks than the boys. The alpha female rules the clan. Their genitalia mimic the male genitalia so well that to be sure you need to squeeze the scrotum (presumably the boys then burst into tears).
It looks like a dog, hunts like a dog, and very successfully too, taking down Zebra and Buffalo and killing far more than scavenging. But the last time it shared a common ancestor with the dogs was 50 million years ago when the feliforms and the caniforms went their separate ways.
