Australian tourist Maddie Lowe filmed footage capturing the close family bond of a hyena pack during a safari with Margot Lowe and her guide, Witness Mathebule, also known as De Beer, Latest Sightings reported on August 29.

On their second day of safari at Arathusa Safari Lodge, they encountered a pack of hyenas feeding on a carcass. Suddenly, some of the hyenas stopped eating and became very alert. The entire pack seemed to sense something approaching. Soon after, a large male lion lunged forward. The hyenas scattered in all directions, howling in fear. A few hyenas sensed danger and easily escaped. However, those engrossed in their meal narrowly escaped death.

An unlucky hyena, lagging behind, was caught by a lion. It struggled with its attacker and narrowly avoided being bitten by the lion's sharp teeth. The hyena seemed doomed until its pack rushed back to its rescue. The hyenas began biting the lion's back and hind legs. The male lion tried to ignore their attack but eventually retaliated. Taking advantage of the lion's distraction, the injured hyena quickly escaped.

Hyenas are considered one of the most voracious land predators, capable of killing large animals such as zebras, wildebeest, and buffalo. However, hyenas rarely hunt on their own, primarily following other predators like lions and leopards and stealing their food. Because their bodies are not perfectly suited for hunting, they find it difficult to control or kill prey independently, forcing them to rely on other animals for food. Hyenas also know how to track and utilize scavengers like vultures to locate successful hunts.
