Hyenas attack lion to save their fellow. Video : Latest Sightings
Australian tourist Maddie Lowe filmed the close-knit family bond of the hyenas during a safari with Margot Lowe and guide Witness Mathebule, also known as De Beer, Latest Sightings reported on August 29.
On the second day of safari at Arathusa Safari Lodge, they came across a pack of hyenas feeding on a carcass. Suddenly, some of the hyenas stopped eating and became very alert. The pack could sense something approaching. Not long after, a large male lion charged. The hyenas scattered in all directions, screaming in fear. Some of the hyenas sensed the danger and easily escaped. However, those who were engrossed in their prey narrowly escaped death.
A slow-moving hyena was caught by a lion. It struggled with its enemy and was nearly bitten by the lion’s sharp teeth. The hyena seemed certain to die until its pride rushed back to save it. The hyenas began biting the lion’s back and hind legs. The male lion tried to ignore their harassment but was eventually forced to turn around and attack. While the lion was distracted, the injured hyena quickly ran away.
Hyenas are considered one of the most greedy land predators, capable of killing large animals such as zebras, wildebeests, and buffalo. However, hyenas rarely hunt on their own, but mainly follow other predators such as lions, leopards, etc. and steal their food. Because hyenas' bodies are not perfect for hunting, they have difficulty controlling or killing their prey, forcing them to rely on other species to supplement their food. Hyenas also know how to track and take advantage of scavengers such as vultures to determine the location of successful hunts.
