Ictitherium were around 1.2 metres (4 ft) long, and looked more like civets than modern hyenas, possessing a long body with short legs. Judging from the teeth, they were insectivores. Ictitherium was a very successful and abundant genus, with multiple fossils often being found at a single site.[2] Possibly, this early hyena genus lived in packs and had a social order, much like its modern descendants.
