"Hyaena" is a genus of two living species of hyenas: The striped hyena from western Asia and northern Africa and the brown hyena from southern Africa. It has been argued that the brown hyena should be placed in the genus "Parahyeana" or even "Pachycrocuta", but recently it has been placed back in the genus "Hyaena"MSW3 Grubb|id=14000685] .
