A war that reveals the dark side of the wildlife world. 

Unlike in movies, the world of wild animals is an extremely harsh place, a land of wars for power and food, and only the strongest have the right to survive and oppress them. putting rules above other species.

Lions are animals often known as the king of the jungle, and it is no coincidence that they were given that title. By nature, lions are dominant, ready to take down any opponent if necessary.

There are even many cases where lions do not even want to eat their competitors even though they have been defeated by them. This is simply to show off their strength as well as eliminate all those who dare to approach and threaten their food chain.

A sudden attack by a herd of hungry hyenas targets a pride of lions

Lions and hyenas are known to be two high-level predators in nature. Also because of the fight for food to survive, lions and hyenas become bitter rivals.

The reason is because hyenas are creatures that often eat other people’s leftovers. Not only that, they also form gangs that specialize in robbing prey from predators, typically lions.

The hatred between lions and hyenas comes from a simple reason, a dispute over food sources. Specifically, hyenas are a species that often eats other people’s leftovers.

Not only that, they also form gangs that specialize in robbing prey from predators, and of course the king of the forest cannot feel satisfied. angry when others disturb their food source.

Despite hating each other, these two animals are very limited in their ability to engage in meaningless competitions to save energy and avoid unnecessary injuries.

In case of forced confrontation, the lion will usually be the winner. Although hyenas often lose in one-on-one fights, they are not easy to defeat.

When there are many members, they will force the lions to fight until exhausted and injured. Just a simple mistake by a lion can get it killed because hyenas are not creatures that can give up easily.

Normally, we often encounter battles between hyenas and lions when one of the two sides has far more numbers than the other.

This is understandable because no animal wants to bet its life on useless hunts, when the odds of winning are low.

However, the clip recorded by Darryl Harries at Klaserie Sands Animal Sanctuary, South Africa will give us a different perspective. A true battle between arrogant, powerful lions against the plundering of hungry, savage hyenas.
