Hyenas, also known as hyaenas, are a group of carnivorous mammals of the family Hyaenidae.
Despite their apparent similarity to canines (and speculative similarity to felines), hyenas branched from the evolutionary tree over 7 million years ago, prior to the protocanid and protofelid families from which modern dogs and cats are descended. Hyenas make up their own taxonomical family hyenidae and genetically are most closely related to the civet and mongoose.
