To be fair, hyenas have never been opponents of lions, but in the case of an overwhelming number of hyenas, it is a different story.

Although they are both high-level predators, lions and hyenas have completely different social statuses.

One side is considered the lord of the forest, respected and respected by all animals, the other side can be said to be the most hated creature in the world because of its ugly appearance, cold-blooded nature and extremely cunning. , cruel.

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. In many cases, lions do not even want to eat their competitors.

This is simply to show off their strength as well as eliminate all those who dare to approach and threaten their food chain.

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.

Although they hate 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. With overwhelming strength and perfect fighting skills, the lion overwhelms all those who dare to challenge it.

When war breaks out, lions often pounce on hyenas and bite their necks until they suffocate.

Married couple Margot and Maddie Lowe from Australia, during a visit to Arathusa Safari Lodge, witnessed a “unique” clash between a herd of hyenas and lions.

That day, because they saw a lion hunting at Arathusa Safari Lodge, the Lowe family and tour guide Witness Mathebule (also known by his stage name De Beer) the day before, decided to come back.

However, when they arrived, there was no lion in front of them, but instead was a group of hyenas gnawing on the carcass of their prey.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became gloomy, some members of the hyena herd appeared scared and stopped eating. It seems like something is creating pressure that prevents them from enjoying their meals comfortably.

Suddenly, from the bushes, a large male lion jumped out, causing the hyenas to run away.

Pretty bad for a slow-moving hyena that was mauled by a lion. The lion’s anger at being robbed of his prey was vented on all the poor hyenas.

At this time, the hyena family was able to calm down and rush to help the remaining member.

They rushed to attack, biting the lion’s back and legs. Faced with the hyena’s intense attacks, the lion finally had to leave its prey behind and flee.
