Feeding wild hyenas outside the walled city of Harar in Ethiopia

This is actually a tradition that goes back over 400 years. The people believed that the hyenas could get rid of all the bad spirits that roam the streets. When the hyenas get into the city walls, their behavior changes. Making the, kind to the men in the city,

Still stupid tho. It’s already been proven to show that animals as pristine people with food is a dangerous thing. One day these hyenas are going to come looking for food but maybe all they will find are a couple kids and then what will they do?

@@jeremyj5932feeding wild animals is usually dangerous because animals lose their natural wariness of humans, and no longer fear humans. Once animals realize that we don't have much physical strength to back up our size, it tends to get dicey. Hyenas don't seem to share that same instinctive fear that most animals do, or at least they aren't as fearful as most north american and eurasian species. Probably due to coexisting with humans for much longer. I wouldn't recommend it as a hobby but if it's actually a long standing tradition then these folks probably know what they're doing. I doubt it's a tradition that would last if even a single hyena became hostile in the past. Not really the kind of mistake you make twice.

These hyenas have no reason to attack the man. Why risk injury when they are getting a free meal? With every feeding session they are becoming more domesticated. The man is creating a relationship/bond with a level of mutual respect. Who knows how long he has been doing this or what precautions were made earlier on before the animals and this man became comfortable with each other.

@Isochest8 жыл бұрын
Hararis absolutely do have an arrangement with the Hyenas; in fact they have an entire culture founded on Hyenas. Some see the Hyenas as helpful in keeping "bad spirits" away. I could go on but instead it's better I share with you a really good book on this: "Among The Bone Eaters" by Marcus Baynes-Rock, which shares all about what's going on here and what the Hyenas mean to the Hararis. Over time not only have the two species, Hyenas and humans, found the ways to co-exist, they have grown a mutually beneficial relationship. Harar is one of the only places where Hyenas are welcomed and respected, no matter what the "tourist show" might make the situation appear to be. Take care out there, dear Hyenas, I wish you well, whatever well means to you. Blessings... Toni... Pennsylvania, USA...

@@Redstoneprime316 People call hyenas things like “devils” or “evil” because they kill and eat almost anything. Now let’s take a look at the human race. There are factories in the world full of tightly packed animals that live their life in the solitude of their cage that is barely larger than their body. Those animals usually go crazy in their cages and try to kill themselves. And on to another thing meat grinders. I’ve seen baby pigs thrown into grinders screaming and begging for their lives. Pigs are intelligent animals but those people treated them as insects and even laughed as the babies screamed not wanting to die. Most people know these things exist but they could care less. At the end of the day if you and the kind old lady across from your house were poisoned and had one pill to save yourselves, she would choose herself every time. So between hyenas and humans who are the real “devils”?

After teasing that one I was actually hoping the hyena would bite him.
This is actually a tradition that goes back over 400 years. The people believed that the hyenas could get rid of all the bad spirits that roam the streets. When the hyenas get into the city walls, their behavior changes. Making the, kind to the men in the city,
Still stupid tho. It’s already been proven to show that animals as pristine people with food is a dangerous thing. One day these hyenas are going to come looking for food but maybe all they will find are a couple kids and then what will they do?
@@jeremyj5932 how is it stupid? It’s been going on just fine for hundreds of years. It seems similar to how we domesticated dogs.
Wrong, Ethiopians are not pagans like you
@@jeremyj5932 Keeping those fed is actually logical. I think you know what would be food if those hyenas weren't fed.
@@jeremyj5932feeding wild animals is usually dangerous because animals lose their natural wariness of humans, and no longer fear humans. Once animals realize that we don't have much physical strength to back up our size, it tends to get dicey. Hyenas don't seem to share that same instinctive fear that most animals do, or at least they aren't as fearful as most north american and eurasian species. Probably due to coexisting with humans for much longer. I wouldn't recommend it as a hobby but if it's actually a long standing tradition then these folks probably know what they're doing. I doubt it's a tradition that would last if even a single hyena became hostile in the past. Not really the kind of mistake you make twice.
They're incredibly smart and beautiful animals. I worked with spotted hyenas at a zoo in college and they're magnificently playful & sociable animals.
Hey, can i ask you how you worked at a zoo? i'm at college rn, and for the longest time i've wanted to do some volunteering at a zoo like that but idk where to start. where do i find this sort of work? are there specific requirements they need?
@@gourmet_salad Why don't you just go to the zoo and ask there? Or look it up online?
I did zoo and wildlife work for years..never worked with hyenas but went for a job at a private UK collection..had spotted and the v rare brown hyenas..got few feet away from both..tierpark in Germany had Striped, brown and spotted years ago..only missing the Aardwolf
this man has 99 problems, but a hyena isn't one of them.
Maximus Autizmus Actually no, we wouldn't be you uneducated moron. Do you know who the richest man in the world is? Mansa Musa, an african emperor of the wealthy WEST african Mali Empire. There was MANY empires and civilizations in Africa but many were destroyed by Europeans (Ex. Ancient city of Benin) and they didn't live in mudhuts. Please google their building structure. Also, there's castles in Ethiopia dumbass. And don't forget moors were the ones that brought Europeans out of the dark ages.
Nubian Princess they did live in mud huts actually.
katelan no the richest man is a black muslim you idiot

@@WeGetItOutTheMudTv you are so, so, right.
Hyenas are very smart ,they won't attack him because they know they won't get anymore free food.
You have watched the Lion King too much.
Lol absolutely true
ismail adam Wow that’s crazy. I knew hyenas were smart but not that smart.
Their bite force is 600lbs.. it can east break his jaws
@Ghost Train Haze Yeah but they found out the humans in the village are pretty cool so I don't think so. The hyenas and the villagers been cool for centuries just like pigeons and people at the light rail station.
These hyenas have no reason to attack the man. Why risk injury when they are getting a free meal? With every feeding session they are becoming more domesticated. The man is creating a relationship/bond with a level of mutual respect. Who knows how long he has been doing this or what precautions were made earlier on before the animals and this man became comfortable with each other.
yea try that with a lion!!!
+LestrosTheGreat Even local children feed them. This shows humans can co-exist with other predator species. Also we have the choice. It looks like the citizens of Harar have an arrangement with the hyenas: They say their feeding them keeps the other packs at bay.
Hararis absolutely do have an arrangement with the Hyenas; in fact they have an entire culture founded on Hyenas. Some see the Hyenas as helpful in keeping "bad spirits" away. I could go on but instead it's better I share with you a really good book on this: "Among The Bone Eaters" by Marcus Baynes-Rock, which shares all about what's going on here and what the Hyenas mean to the Hararis. Over time not only have the two species, Hyenas and humans, found the ways to co-exist, they have grown a mutually beneficial relationship. Harar is one of the only places where Hyenas are welcomed and respected, no matter what the "tourist show" might make the situation appear to be. Take care out there, dear Hyenas, I wish you well, whatever well means to you. Blessings... Toni... Pennsylvania, USA...
That shows nature is loyal to its servant except humans.
LestrosTheGreat if you think predators care about mutual respect with people then you should look into predators. They are unpredictable, a hyenas could have an off day and simply just kill the guy
This dude right here he got balls of METAL

@@jimothykurlbietz4686 WOOOOOSH
The hyenas are harmless in the village, they have been doing this for centuries and villagers hold them to high regard.
They big
Smart animals. Never bite the hand that feeds you.
You also have to take into account that hyenas are highly intelligent highly social creatures no telling how long he's been with them if since birth they definitely trust him
He's a proud African, I know they respect many things with respect more than us Mexican would do
Damn.. Hyenas are huge..
Dan C yes much bigger as the most dogs and much more powerful especially with their jaws.
MsUltraBob haha Bro I notice that you are in all hyena videos on KZhead 😂😂. I like hyenas too btw !
Thats why they re lions's nemesis
Correct
Well hyenas are bigger if they're females
It's amazing that the hyenas don't even try to aim for the bucket of meat...
Hyenas have a hierarchy and they respect their superiors. The top hyenas usually "distribute" food in sense that they determine who gets to eat what and when. So they have the same respect for the humans they are familiar with and who bring them food. Of course, hyena respect needs to be earned...
@Ice King and in America harlots frame # me too after 10 years on the sugar daddy's that feed them
The San Tribe (Khoisan) of South Africa also hunt with Cheetahs and feed them. Native Americans here on the East coast of Canada owned wolf hybrid as pets. Shows indigenous people really have a connection with the animals they've co-existed with for millennia. We're all the same but different. Including other species.
In Ethiopia, Hyenas and people have a long, historic, accommodation. On March 5, 2014, The Guardian Unlimited had a fascinating article on hyenas around Addis Ababa, a metropolis of 5 million. (Addis Ababa and its Hyenas Have a Long and Peaceful History.) Personally I understand hyenas as the most persistent and vicious predators. They respect people, however.
But many people don’t respect them, if you see those lion vs hyena videos comments, most of the people are absolute hating hyenas, saying that they are “evil” and “disgusting” or “rats” or “deserve to die” while praising the lion.
Dark matter Hafnium kind of ironic when you realise that they are hating the Hyenas for literally the exact same reason that they are praising the lions. The reason being that they are both trying to survive.
Hyena deserves die
U can' say your a proud African, in the nation and habitat u grow up seeing the wild life's what they too your people and treating them with respect, I can say African respect mankind more than us Mexican people would.
@@Redstoneprime316 People call hyenas things like “devils” or “evil” because they kill and eat almost anything. Now let’s take a look at the human race. There are factories in the world full of tightly packed animals that live their life in the solitude of their cage that is barely larger than their body. Those animals usually go crazy in their cages and try to kill themselves. And on to another thing meat grinders. I’ve seen baby pigs thrown into grinders screaming and begging for their lives. Pigs are intelligent animals but those people treated them as insects and even laughed as the babies screamed not wanting to die. Most people know these things exist but they could care less. At the end of the day if you and the kind old lady across from your house were poisoned and had one pill to save yourselves, she would choose herself every time. So between hyenas and humans who are the real “devils”?

You can tell by the faint growling sounds they make (nearer the end) that they are more related to felines than dogs. Man I love these creatures. C:
Plus, they weren’t interested in the stick.
They are neither one bro, neither dogs nor cats... its a separated mamal specie
Dam , you don't realize the Size of these Animals until they stand beside a person..!! I always thought of them as the size of a small German Shepherd...... But they are Way bigger than that I can see. Huge mouths too..!!
Trevor S small gsd? 😂
Maximus Autizmus I saw that video, too! But some people are too big in male lion pride to see that hyenas are strong competitors.
Hyenas also have the pound for pound strongest bite force, they are impressive animals
thats true
@Jimmie Toyne hell no. Even male lions don't reach that height on all fours
Thanks for getting this on KZhead so in 100 years when there are no more wild animals left, people can see what the planet was like before we ruined it.
Imagine being the dude that tries to mug this guy. Rest In Pieces
...& finds himself on the meal bucket next day
So this is scar if he was human?
Nope, Scar betrayed the hyenas. Humans in Ethiopia would not do that.
Aww... so cute how he treats them like pets! He must have known this particular group of animals his whole life to be brave enough to (and get away with) teasing them like you would a tame cat. I wish I could get close up to wild hyenas, cause they're my favourite animal. ~(OwO)~
This is actually a tradition that goes back a couple of centuries. His ancestors did what this man is doing right now.
@@kziila0244 That is so badass

@@Hyapin Yes, people simply see them for what they exactly are, ugly brutes. I love animals, but I can't stand hyenas. However, I'm happy to know that there are those who absolutely love them.

Hyenas are amazing animals I hate how much People hate them for no reason.
They hate them because of a cartoon (The Lion King) lol
MsUltraBob I am scared of them because they kill people
Cause the hyenas eat babies and children!
MsUltraBob This is just a group of hyena specific to that part of the region who are used to human feeding. Other groups of hyena will kill you. Hyenas are also abusive to their own kind. Tearing and biting at the more timid one in the group.....forcing the most timid one to eat bones and break teeth.
Wolves are too, but are you not going to "hate" them when you're hiking in the mountains and a whole pack starts tracking you? Hyenas can be bastards.
Wow! They are big and they look freaking awesome!! I have known people who yes they have them as pets but they are still wild regardless domestication, having one as pet would sure be freaking amazing though.
Bro how you doing you are 10 years older now :/
right 😂
those hyenas are well fed and not aggressive...if he ran into a hungry wild pack they would kill him for sure
This village has been feeding wild hyenas for over 200 years Pretty much sure those hyenas are intelligent enough to never forget that village’s kindness to their ancestors, and to them
hyenas never kill people. they do dig out corpses from graves to east though/
I mean, he doesn't know the wild pack, so no shit they'd attack. these Hyenas have a personal relationship to him, it's built on trust and time. that's how relationships with wild animals go. just because you're friends with one animal doesn't mean the entire species gets told to be your friend. that doesn't diminish how damn impressive what he does is. there are hyenas on all sides of him and he is calm and composed, because he knows THESE hyenas. they know HIM. they know and have built a dynamic with each other.

Man, imagine being so badass you doggoed _HYENAS_ Hardcore lol
How did the hyena men of Harar cope under the Mengistu years?
Hyenas are not related to Dogs at all... related species to Hyenas are mongoose and somewhat Marsupials (ex. Tasmanian Tiger, Tasmanian Devil), they are also related to cats. But they are their own family (Hyaenidae), bigest Hyaena was the Dinocrocuta Gigantea (extinct) which weighed around 1000 LBS (450kg) and ate Lions for breakfast...
amazing!! where was this taken i gotta see this in person.
Awww, that's so sweet! He's feeding the hyenas and they're comin' up like puppy dogs to eat out of his hand! ;)
Can you write some details about where this is in the description box so some interested people can go and visit
Ability wise and Biologicaly wise, it takes only 3-4 Hyenas to kill a Lion, yet we will never see that. Because Hyenas intentions are NEVER TO KILL and they dont need to fight with other Predators, because their tactics are similar to Wolfs... they are Clan members and can have up to 80 Members that hunt/scavenge/intimidate! Their intimidation works ALWAYS!
"HEY MOMMIE, NO DINNER FOR TONIGHT, GAVE ALL TO HYENA!!!"

Can I ask what they’re eating exactly?

Holy shit that intro gave me memories of old KZhead

Back away, nice and slow lol.

GoreTale is correct. They are VERY intelligent. They do not want to hurt the guy who gives them food.
Theodore Graham He becomes desert ( chocolate cake ) 😉
Theodore Graham To the hyenas he is like a snickers chocolate
If wild hyenas could be this tame and sweet, imagine how much sweeter a pet hyena you raised since a cub would be.
I just finished reading DARK STAR SAFARI and I was hoping there would be a video of the Harar hyenas. Thank you!
I saw hyenas for real in the zoo for the first time, i was very surprised at their size, i didnt expect them to be so big!
They are small compared to lions lol. Most carnivorous animals are.
Most animals you see on KZhead are small until you see them in person. The first time I saw an okapi at the London zoo, I was stunned. She were massive. Over 6.5 feet tall and looked at least 450kg at the smaller side.
An incredibly clever use of resources. :) Kudos to your country!
Hyenas have some of the strongest jaws in the animal kingdom--they shatter bones easily. And he puts the stick in his mouth coming inches away from those teeth. Godlike. Also, digging those awesome warm-ups the guy is sporting.
Heyy How do you get to this place?. Which is the nearest airport?
Dangerous, fearsome and very cute
Ever since Lion King, hyenas have always scared the shit out of me.
"A hyena's belly is never full" Shenzi, The Lion King
not just me bro - I suppose at least 1,097 other people as well, you are not alone :D But they are absolutely adorable i stayed up way past midnight that night and i had to wake up early the next day, but it was so worth it, especially the baby hyena videos, which were way past just adorable. I've always liked them, never understood why people dismiss them so quickly without giving them a fair chance.
What if he runs out of meat and they're still hungry?
They have one of the strongest bites in nature.
Stronger than lion, stronger than shark or crocodile. They eat freakin' bones. I don't mean little bones, but elephant bones. I don't know of any other mammal that can do that. From what I've read, they have the strongest jaws and bite of any other large mammal.
@@angelitogumera4082 You're right, and I stand corrected. Years ago I'd heard this about spotted hyenas from what I thought was a reputable source. Well, it wasn't. I'm not arguing here, you're correct in everything you said, but I've always been a "fan" of hyenas and their bite is truly impressive, especially given their much smaller size compared to lions and tigers. Anyway, thanks for the correction. I learned something here and that's always a good thing.

I think it's important to remember that these are wild animals, they're not trained nor domesticated, they do as they please according to their survival. Eating from that man was a part of their struggle to survive.
this dude is out of his mind he do realize thy have numbers
Hyenas are known to be very...overly confident. They often chase lions away from their kill and steal it from them, or at least in Botswana anyway. I am surprised they don't all gang up on those people feeding them, perhaps they don't because there are many more people around that we don't see on this video.
+Distant System yeah but they dnt do that to male lions
Griffiith That sounds like something out of a comedy movie. African tribes men walk up to a killed animal, slices the meat, and walks off well the lion's are to much of pussies to do anything.
this is Harer in Ethiopia I know this men I wes in there before
Oh My God!!! .....Can you give me your number.I don't believe you.
They share the food I love it, so social and nice animals. No raging or bullying. Better communication than some humans.
until it rips your intestines out of your asshole
Good observation. They don't look that big in documentaries but when seen being filmed so close and next to humans, hyenas look very large and formidable, extremely thick, powerful necks.
