running hyena

noun

Definitions

  1. An extinct genus of hyenas, †Chasmaporthetes.

    • The American Hyena, also called the Running Hyena, shared more physical characteristics with wolves and dogs than with most other hyena species. This Hyena's closest relative, the Aardwolf, is still alive today.
    • In fact, when he's hot on your white rump, the running hyena Chasmaporthetes looks more like a jaguar than it does like the slouchy little hyena that will be around a million years from now. That's just for starters.
