The largest remaining brown hyena population is located in the southern Kalahari Desert and coastal areas in Southwest Africa. [8] The global population of brown hyena is estimated by IUCN at a number between 4,000 and 10,000 and its conservation status is marked as near threatened in the IUCN Red List. [1]
The population is rapidly growing from 284 in 1990 to 674 in 2020 thanks to the conservation efforts of the government, people and many communities. It is only found in the Gir forest and some other parts of the state of Gujrat, India. [11] Mediterranean monk seal: Monachus monachus: 700 [12] VU [12] [12] The second most endangered pinniped ...
The listings for status are E for endangered or T for threatened. Species or subspecies may also be endangered or threatened because they are sufficiently similar in appearance to endangered or threatened species or subspecies and are marked for "similarity of appearance" as E(S/A) or T(S/A).

The European form was similar in appearance to modern populations, but was larger, being comparable in size to the brown hyena. [10] The spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) diverged from the striped and brown hyena 10 million years ago. [11] Its direct ancestor was the Indian Crocuta sivalensis, which lived during the Villafranchian. [12]
Lower risk/conservation dependent: Species which were the focus of conservation programmes and may have moved into a higher risk category if that programme was discontinued. LR/nt: Lower risk/near threatened: Species which are close to being classified as vulnerable but are not the subject of conservation programmes. LR/lc: Lower risk/least concern
Black-backed jackal pups are vulnerable to African wolf, [13] honey badger, spotted hyena and brown hyena. Adults have few natural predators, save for leopards and African wild dogs. [10] Though there are some reports that martial eagles prey on both juveniles and adults. [28] [29]
The spotted hyena is commonly found in most large game reserves, while the brown hyena inhabits the arid parts of the country, and the aardwolf is widespread. The African wild dog is an endangered species and is found mainly in the Kruger National Park and surrounding areas.
