Subspecies of the spotted hyena that lived in Europe until the Late Pleistocene.
Cave hyenas were not true cave dwellers, as the name might suggest. They only visited the caves as shelter.
In caves that were regularly visited by cave hyenas, in addition to the remains of humans and cave bears, which also often used caves as shelter, one finds numerous Ice Age animals that were brought here as food.

The cave hyena (Crocuta crocuta spelaea) often used caves as its home, the proverbial "hyena cave" or hyena nest. It is also called the Ice Age spotted hyena because it is a paleo-subspecies of the spotted hyena, a subspecies that is now extinct and lived in Eurasia during the last Ice Age. They brought dead animals and carrion into the caves and ate them there. Therefore, the bones of many animals can be found in such caves, even those that would never come into the cave on their own. Such bone caves have been found from the Iberian Peninsula to Eastern Siberia. Therefore, the cave hyena is one of the most famous mammals of the Ice Age.
