The rivalry over territory can become an ugly one at times. And, when wild animals clash, you can be sure that there are never 2 winners, there will always be one between the two that pulls the shortest straw.

In December 2019, Vicky Stephenson, a 29-year-old field guide and camp manager, heard strange hyena calls from their camp in Ingwelala, Greater Kruger National Park. It seemed like it was coming from the riverbed. Latestsightings.com asked her to explain the events of that day.

“When we heard the strange hyena calls, we quickly headed off to find out what was going on. Two hyenas were in the river - battling it out! One was the dominant and the other one trying to retreat.”

“We were all shocked as it was the first time any of us had seen such a vicious struggle between hyenas. It was harsh to watch as the hyena being struck was already badly wounded and looked exhausted and in pain. We felt obligated to watch though, as this was fascinating, especially being a field guide and never having seen something like this before - although -not pleasant to watch.”
“After about 2 hours of on and off fighting, we saw the original dominant and 2 other hyenas heading down the road towards the injured hyena, and at that stage, we knew that the hyena would not survive the last fight, so we decided to leave it in peace. We later found out from the office that the hyenas had finished the hyena off after we left.”
“We sent our footage through to a hyena expert to find out what they thought could have been the reason for such a battle. She explained that the 4 hyenas involved were all males. The young hyena (she could tell by the teeth) being pushed had probably recently left his clan to find another clan to join, as males will do to ensure genetic variation. The 3 males of this territory weren’t happy about it, which is something that happens from time to time.”
“This was the worst hyena encounter I have ever seen. Usually, you get the normal scuffle at food, but never an intense ongoing battle like this one. Even though it’s never pleasant watching any animal in distress, it is nature, which always has a purpose, and if you can stomach it -it’s a sighting you will never forget and probably never get to watch again! So take as much video and photos as possible, because it could be educational to others. “

I just realized something profound: Hyenas look even more horrifying when they are wet!
I felt bad for him at the end, he was clearly crying. I bet he was so injured that if I were there and I just hugged him, he wouldn't react at all. But nature is nature.
And screaming
True
Cintrón Productions it wasn’t crying it was telling the others to end him because of the pain.
@@cintronproductions9430 I'm sure that Hyena would have hugged you too - with its teeth. People have been severely injured, or killed because they anthropomorphize animals.
Where's the sneaky crocodile when you need him.
😂😂😂😂
As tough and mean as hyenas are they would put up a good fight in the water against a crocodile, lol.
Lmao
The Crocodile will drag the Hyena around like a little ragdoll if it grabbed it like in this video. kzhead.info/sun/gbOsgLexsKN7rXA/bejne.html
@@moonlitm3285 not really, crocodile know the difference between a big predator and a herbivore and although they will bite they will quickly release when finding out the powerful bite back reaction of lions or hyenas.
Imagine a croc just sneaks up while they're distracted. 🤣
Thought the same!
Same thought here.
Croc: hey guys I'm going to eat you *If you get that adventure time reference you're a legend*

It still does in the end so it doesn’t matter they came back 2 hrs later to finish his ass off...
I was talking like I was watching mma stop giving him your back bro lol
I don't think the injured hyena had the strength to fight back, all it wanted to do is get away.
To the ones that filmed this: thank you for remaining silent and quiet throughout the shooting.
You mean the killing lol
Should have filmed the rest... Shame...
I mean if he wasn’t quiet he would’ve been killed
kahoa Akaka he probably has some defences to scare them off
You know what would be funny a crocodile came and eat both of them :v

@WARRIOR FIGHTER PAHLAWAN Some people are tougher than others, some can handle seeing this sorta sh*t but others can't. But the truth is that everyone has their limits. You may not feel much seeing two hyenas or lions kill each other, but you'll definitely go insane with emotions if you see a chimpanzee kidnapping and devouring your baby, which sadly HAS happened before.
Cintrón Productions Well said. All this immature false bravado. Let’s see the response when a lion devours their partner in the most horrific of circumstances Ohhh but’s it’s nature!
@@bornfree8487 That's not the same thing. Both your comment and the comment you replied to are speaking about animals attacking people, which the other guy never stated he didn't care about. OP was talking specifically about this situation, which transpired between two animals. There's no basis to claim the other guy wouldn't be disturbed about an animal attacking a person from a video of an animal attacking another animal. I'm much more concerned by a person being attacked by an animal than an animal attacking another animal. The latter is just nature.

This is insane and they look demonic af. I actually feel really bad for the one tho.
Me too
They do look like the devil
I just posted I thought they were ugly but very evil looking too
I don't feel bad because I've seen what they do to animals when they eat them alive. Including pregnant animals. No I don't feel bad for a hyena that got to find out what it's like to endure what he's dished out. No mercy.
@@josephdockemeyer6782 me neither. I hate them. The stuff they've done to zebras, pregnant giraffes & impalas, I just can't muster any sympathy. No wonder they look so evil. They're just furry little demons disguised as animals.

Hyenas are extremely intelligent, tough and efficient killers. They need more respect.
They’re ugly in physical appearance. Non attractive organisms typically garner less respect….😕🤷🏾♂️.
Except they're not efficient killers. They kill inhumanely and slowly and mostly don't kill - they eat em alive or when someone else kills. The intelligence and toughness is true though.
@@Masood1810 they are very efficient killers although yes, it is cruel. The prey is less likely to get away if they disembowel and just start eating. Smart.
@@Masood1810 except you don’t know what you’re talking about because the animal dies much faster to Hyenas than being suffocate for sometimes upto 1 hour or more by Lions. Just because they eat animals alive doesn’t mean they’re not efficient, they kill much faster and nothing from the carcass is goes to waste, that is literally the definition of efficiency you fool 😂🤦🏻♂️ Btw many videos of Lions and leopards eating animals alive, thousands actually and they’re very disturbing, also many videos of Hyenas snapping necks and crushing skulls instantly killing their prey. Calling the most efficient predator in Africa inefficient, wow. Stop commenting like you know anything about these animals, you’re embarrassing.
@@ashdog236 don’t take it to heart bro it was just his opinion. I agree wiv u tho.
Hyenas are the ultimate survivors. Their toughness and will to survive is incredible.
It died tho
@@bigjumbo9479 Is there another video that confirms it died?
@@enlightenedchild8373 we might don't know it but the wounds are very dangerous
@@enlightenedchild8373 oh wait 5:04 read the text. It died because of the injuries. I was right
@@agermanpotato6009 You weren't right, read the description.
You can tell the other hyena just didn’t want to fight, either from exhaustion or from just accepting his defeat but more than likely a little bit of both.
I think it was plainly stupid in the head. It was bigger, but wouldn’t fight back. And then it made these noises at the end, attracting predators like lions. Something was wrong with it and thats why the others got fed up and ended it. Its like a super annoying char in a zombie book that puts the entire group in danger.
@@TheBooban no it probably was not tryna kill the opponent for certain reasons. Like if it killed a higher member of the hierarchy then they would all kill the lower hierarchy one that killed the higher hierarchy one.
@@S.F157 exactly, didn’t you see what happened to it in the end ? The other hyena left and came back with 2 more and they ended it’s life. He knew he’d be killed and that’s why he was howling like that.
I think that's a alpha male trying to teach a youngling about table manners.

You hear the true fear of death by that last howl 😣
Yes @4:59🙄 the hyena was so scared of dying
that sounded more like it was calling its battalion but they had all defected and betrayed him. It must have been howling in anger and frustration and defiance.
@@ericastier1646 why did they betray him?
Yeah totally. Why do you guys always try and make it even worse. He was calling his backup. But they were gone. That's called frustration
It is very painful to watch these two vicious animals fight each other.
After watching thousands of hours of Animals documentaries i concluded, this is the greatest scene to ever be recorded.

And those teeth crush bones to powder, power bite of hyena.
Got a very strong bite when they want to use it
not just lions, every wild animals that are predators in africa are so protective about scars, it will cause them their lives if they would have even just a small scar, they have no medication for themselves so they couldnt afford non sense fight and run away if happens.
basically they know that infection is harmful for them without getting rid of it .
Hyenas are very intelligent and this was a smart technique in the fight.
Almost drowning yourself from exhaustion trying to drown the other? Yeah, great technique 10/10 "I used it last friday" 👌 👉👌
That was an intense battle for sure. I feel sorry for the younger hyena. He probably just wanted to join another clan. He must of been in such much pain that we can’t imagine. He really did put up a fight though. This is how nature works. Awesome footage
It's important to always remember that there is very thin line between what we humans think we are and what a cut throat beast like the hyena is. Nature can be beautiful and terrible at the same time.
I agree which is why I can't help but be annoyed with the ppl who have convinced themselves that animals are better than human beings like animals revenge, get jealous, murder for the sake of murder the whole 9. Just like humans.

then quit watching; I don't see you with the camera. This person paid for the camera, the trip, the hotel, the guide, the vehicle rental, time off from work, and you are going to sit their and criticize.
Poor thing. He looked so lost and confused in the end. Hyenas are gentle with cubs, if he'd just left home this would have been his first encounter with the harsh nature of adult hyena life. I read that new hyenas joining a clan are often viciously "hazed" before being allowed to enter, is it possible this was a hazing ritual that got way out of hand, or was this a "get out or die" scenario from the start?
Ah yes! the ritual of drowning each other, yup remember doing that last year I think I'm gonna do it again!

Should've taken out his rage on the attacker. Instead, he just stood there.
