This means there are not many of them left in the wild! Endangered is a big word that means a group of animals is in danger of disappearing forever.
Hyenas can be endangered for a few reasons. One big reason is that people are cutting down trees and building homes, which makes it harder for hyenas to find food and shelter. Also, sometimes people hunt hyenas, which makes their numbers go down.
