Ranks
Sadly, the ranking system is
very complicated/confusing since it is as realistic as possible, but I will try to simplify it as much as I can.
"Females are dominant over males, and even the lowest ranking female is dominant to the highest ranking male. Although males typically disperse from their natal clans when they are between two and six years of age (Smale et al 1997; Boydston et al. 2005), females usually remain in their natal clan, so large clans may contain several different matrilines. Although cubs of both sexes 'inherit' their mothers' social ranks, males voluntarily forsake those to assume much lower ranks in the neighboring clans to which they disperse."-http://www.hyaenidae.org/the-hyaenidae/spotted-hyena-crocuta-crocuta/crocuta-social-behavior.html
"A hyena clan is rarely gathered together at any given time; instead, it is divided into smaller packs and single hyenas, temporary groupings that frequently form, disperse and reform. Clans are led by a single female hyena, the matriarch. Hyena clans also have secondary leaders who lead smaller pack divisions. Hyena packs consist of a single leader and several other hyenas who follow her lead. Packs are formed both deliberately and coincidentally; hyenas will gather together to form packs, although they may often find themselves together by chance. These packs are temporary; they will eventually disperse, and the hyenas may join other packs, or, in the case of pack leaders, form a new pack. The hyena clan has a hierarchy, with the matriarch and pack leaders holding the highest rank. Female hyenas are larger, stronger and fiercer than males, and thus hold higher rank and are more frequently pack leaders."-http://hyena.g2gm.com/HyenaGuide2.html
