I don't think hyenas are particularly ugly, even when covered with mud. This is really a matter of opinion....

Hyena

With a hunching, bear-like gait, these scavengers of the savannah aren't the prettiest animals on the planet, but at least they have a sense of humor. Occasionally referred to as "laughing hyenas", their calls are often described as haunting and witch-like.
 
Though they look like wild dogs, they are more closely related to civets, mongooses and meerkats.
