Hyena

Ring made entirely by hand by the Italian craftsman Gianmarco Fontana. Ring made of 925 Silver, which is part of the "Animalia" collection depicting a hyena.

The Hyaenidae family is one of the least numerous within the mammalian class. It consists of only 4 subspecies, present in the African continent, in Central Asia and in India. They are similar to dogs but with certain characteristics that bring them closer to cats. Nonetheless, hyenas are completely different animals.
The truth is that hyenas perform a particular function, like any breed, within the food chain. They are scavengers, that is, they eat the remains of corpses left by other predators, such as cheetahs and lions. This helps clean the environment by preventing infections in the ecosystem, in the same way that vultures do.
There are 3 species of hyenas, as we mentioned earlier. The spotted hyena, native to Africa and the best known in the rest of the world, the brown hyena and the striped hyena, originally from India and the Middle East respectively.
