The front of their body is more massive and taller, which is due to the fact that their muscles are much more developed in comparison to the back of their body - the back paws are shorter and less muscular. Their snout is short but has very strong teeth. Their ears are large and either pointed or rounded depending on the breed.
The body length of the currently living largest species ranges from 95 to about 160 centimeters, the tail length reaches from 20 to 36 centimeters and the weight reaches from 40 to 86 kilograms! It should also be noted that females are always much larger and heavier than males.
The coat color varies depending on the species. The spotted one has brown-yellow fur with dark spots. The brown one has dark brown fur with a very developed mane which usually covers the whole front part of its body.
These animals live in groups, which may count up to 80 individuals, but as a rule they are much less. Food for them are usually small and medium-sized ungulates, an example of such is the wildebeest.
