Reference Text

Giant hyenas are large, powerful predators that roam the wilds in packs. They are known for their cunning and relentless pursuit of prey. These beasts are often found in savannas, deserts, and other open terrains, where they use their speed and numbers to bring down larger animals. Their powerful jaws can crush bone, and they are not afraid to scavenge from other predators' kills. Giant hyenas are a threat to travelers and livestock alike, and their eerie laughter echoes across the plains at night.
