The striped hyena, scientifically known as Hyaena hyaena, is a fascinating creature that inhabits various regions of Africa and Asia. Unlike its counterparts, the African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) and spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), the often overlooked due to its elusive nature. Dating back to 1836, Karl Joseph Brodtmann's lithograph from Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's Illustrated Natural History of Men and Animals captures the essence of this enigmatic species. The image showcases the distinctive stripes adorning its fur, setting it apart from other hyenas. This unique pattern serves as a visual representation of their individuality within the animal kingdom. In another historical account dating back to Abyssinia in Ethiopia, James Bruce found himself face-to-face with a striped hyena in his tent. Armed with only a pistol and pike, he bravely defended himself against this formidable predator. This encounter highlights both the danger these creatures can pose and their ability to adapt to diverse environments. While not as well-known as their spotted relatives or African wild dogs, striped hyenas play an essential role in maintaining ecological balance. Their scavenging habits help prevent disease outbreaks by consuming carrion left behind by larger predators. This colored engraving emphasizes how these solitary hunters navigate through arid landscapes such as deserts—their natural habitat—earning them the nickname "Naked Hyenas. " Despite being less studied than other species, they possess remarkable survival skills that allow them to thrive even in harsh conditions. As we explore North Africa's rich biodiversity depicted in color lithographs from 1860 onwards, we come across depictions of various mammals coexisting harmoniously—including both spotted and striped hyenas alongside Aard Wolves—a testament to nature's intricate tapestry. A chromolitho titled "Streifenhiane" further celebrates the beauty of this lesser-known member of the hyena family.
