''Conus hyaena'', common name the hyena cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.〔 These snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all. ;Subspecies: * ''Conus hyaena concolor'' G. B. Sowerby II, 1841 (synonym: ''Conus concolor'' G. B. Sowerby II, 1841) * ''Conus hyaena hyaena'' Hwass in Bruguière, 1792 ==Description== The size of an adult shell varies between 29 mm and 80.5 mm. The shell is somewhat swollen above. The spire is striate. The color of the shell is light yellowish brown, variegated by darker strigations, and faint revolving lines or rows of spots, often indistinctly lighter-banded in the middle. 〔 George Washington Tryon, Manual of Conchology vol.
