In this experiment, the intestinal microflora of the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) was studied by high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene V3-V4 high mutation region. We analyzed the effects of age and feeding environment on gut microbiota in Spotted hyena through a comparison between juvenile and adulthood and comparisons between captive individuals from zoos in coastal and inland areas.
