Short description: Extinct genus of carnivores
Lycyaena is an extinct genus of terrestrial carnivore in the family Hyaenidae.[1] Lycyaena was a cursorial hunting hyaena as opposed to full-time scavenger. It has been suggested by R. F. Ewer[2] that Lycyaena may be a possible ancestor to today's aardwolf (Proteles cristatus).
