The Striped Hyena (Hyaena hyaena) is a species of hyena native to North and East Africa, the Middle East, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. It's distinguished by its black and white vertical stripes and a long mane that stands erect when the animal is frightened or aggressive.
Striped Hyenas inhabit a wide range, from grasslands, woodlands, to semi-deserts, primarily in North and East Africa, parts of the Middle East, and areas of Asia like India.
While not as popular as hunting other large predators, the Striped Hyena presents a unique trophy for hunters interested in lesser-known species. Their pelts, with distinctive stripes, are particularly valued.
Hunting methods include baiting and using blinds or high seats, as well as tracking and spot-and-stalk techniques, particularly during the night when they are most active.
Both rifles and bows can be used, with larger caliber rifles being preferred to ensure a humane and quick harvest.
Hunting seasons and regulations vary depending on the country and region. Always consult local guidelines or a reputable outfitter to ensure legal hunting.
Striped Hyenas are listed as "Near Threatened" by the IUCN, primarily due to habitat loss and direct persecution. Ethical hunters should prioritize conservation and ensure that hunting is conducted sustainably.
While it's technically edible, Striped Hyena meat is not commonly consumed and might be culturally taboo in many regions.
Striped Hyenas are smaller than the more commonly known Spotted Hyena and have distinct vertical stripes. They are also more solitary and less vocal.
