In terms of morality, spotted hyenas represent “neutral-oriented realist”. Like lions, hyenas like to be apex predators and attack large prey animals in an unprincipled way. Up to 15 hyenas can attack a large prey like zebras and wildebeast. However, each hyena is individually weak because it is not as large as a lion and does not have claws for effectively gripping their prey. Hence, it is more oriented towards neutrality than lion because it needs to focus on doing its job very well. It cannot be lazy like lions. It still needs to work hard to get its prey.
In Africa, hyenas are important rivals to lions.
Example of “neutral-oriented realist”: Dr Mahathir (Malaysian ex prime minister), KingofLightning (Youtuber)
