Odd Fact

Hyena's are more closely related to the domestic cat than they are to other dogs.
CLASS MAMMALIA --> ORDER CARNIVORA --> SUBORDER FELIFORMIA --> FAMILY Hyaenidae --> GENUS Crocuta
SPECIES Crocuta crocuta
Common Name: Spotted Hyena
CLASS MAMMALIA --> ORDER CARNIVORA --> SUBORDER CANIFORMIA --> FAMILY Canidae --> GENUS Canis
SPECIES Canis lupus
Common Name: Wolf
They are divided right up there in the suborder, they're not even in the same family....eh?
