Unusual intra-specific aggression in striped hyena
This study documents a rare aggressive interaction between two striped hyenas (Hyaena hyaena) observed in northern Israel. Agonistic behaviors, which include aggression, submission, and threat displays, are essential for managing social hierarchies and mitigating harm in animal societies. Although striped hyenas typically engage in ritualized behaviors to resolve conflicts non-lethally, the observed confrontation involved intense biting, vocalizations, and significant injuries. The fight’s cause remains unclear. This observation, combined with limited prior reports of similar behavior, highlights the need for continued research and citizen science contributions to better understand the complex and variable social dynamics of striped hyenas. Clinical trial number: Not applicable
期刊介绍:
acta ethologica publishes empirical and theoretical research papers, short communications, commentaries, reviews and book reviews as well as methods papers in the field of ethology and related disciplines, with a strong concentration on the behavior biology of humans and other animals.
The journal places special emphasis on studies integrating proximate (mechanisms, development) and ultimate (function, evolution) levels in the analysis of behavior. Aspects of particular interest include: adaptive plasticity of behavior, inter-individual and geographic variations in behavior, mechanisms underlying behavior, evolutionary processes and functions of behavior, and many other topics.
acta ethologica is an official journal of ISPA, CRL and the Portuguese Ethological Society (SPE)
