This amazing show of strong family bonds was captured on camera by Maddie Lowe while on safari with Margot Lowe and guide Witness Mathebule also known as De Beer. They shared their footage and story with LatestSightings.com.
During their adventure at@ArathusaSafariLodge in early August, they stumbled upon a jaw-dropping scene that unfolded before their lenses. This remarkable sighting witnessed in the heart of the African wilderness, showcases the power struggle between lions and hyenas and the remarkable unity of the hyena clan. Margot, Maddie, and De Beer were about to capture an incident that would leave them in awe of nature's raw intensity.
Margot and Maddie Lowe, from Australia, were on their second day of safari at@ArathusaSafariLodge, when they had returned to a sighting of a kill made by lions the previous day. However today there were no lions around but instead a clan of hyenas feeding on the remains.
Suddenly, there was a change in the atmosphere as some of the hyenas stopped feeding and became very weary. The group could sense that something was about to go down! But what? No one knew.
Then, out of nowhere, a huge male lion came charging in . The hyenas scattered in every direction and squealed with displeasure. Luckily for those hyenas who sensed the danger, their getaway was easy. The others who were too busy eating just managed to escape by mere inches!
However, one unluck y hyena was just not fast enough and was caught! The lion and hyena went tumbling in a full summersault. The lion’s powerful jaws closed around the hyena’s head in a deadly grip. The situation appeared dire for the hyena until something remarkable happened. Its clan rushed to its aid, demonstrating the close bonds that exist among these animals.
The clan began biting and nipping at the lion's back and hind legs. The lion tried to ignore the constant pestering from the hyenas but had no option and was forced to turn and face them. In the process, the hyenas were able to cause enough distraction that the poor hyena, which looked as if it had seen its last day, was able to break free!

Hyenas are honestly underrated, they don’t deserve the hate they always get. It’s nice to see how they care about each other.
Hyenas are little tanks with brains. They even have a certain sense of politics comparable to primates'.
Hyenas are overrated take dutti for example
They are hated because they all laugh like the Joker. Imagine hearing that laugh at night, then seeing their shiny eyes glittering at you in the dark. Then getting eaten alive by a pack of them. Wouldn’t that be one of the scariest experiences/endings a human being can encounter?
@@LionDominator it’s the oversized cats the lions that are overrated lion fanboy. They have the media on their side. No sane person would say hyenas are overrated lmao
@@haz4892 No different from any otuer predator. Ain't like lions will do it any different. Plus, hyenas are not nocturnal.
Moral of the story: there's strength in unity! Divided, we fall!
Now if only we Americans could see that!
True
Well we are falling as nation unless things change
Keluarga cemara😂
A wolf, leopard, cheetah, or any other predator that size getting mauled by a lion like that would’ve been toast. Hyenas are the only animals I’ve seen that are so tough and resilient
It's honestly crazy how resiliant hyenas are
not really, as all wild animals are tough and resilient. You have zebras or even gazelle that are latched on by a croc for 5 minutes and it often manages to survive. It´s much more difficult in all kinds of wildlife to kill than to be killed.
@@north2greenThat was just a subadult hyena and survived unharmed. If that was an adult leopard, cheetah, or wild dog it would have not survived
@@north2green I have to agree with you, all animals are really resiliant. However i feel like hyenas tend to survive longer with injuries than other animals, but then again it might be because they live in a clan
@@Girjon05they are one tough SOB! That’s why you won’t have to worry about them getting extinct in the near future!
@@Girjon05hyenas don’t die from flesh wounds. They are immune against infection diseases that effect other animals. Hyenas survived infection diseases that decimated lions populations in the Serengeti
One can appreciate the risk they take to stand by and save one of their own!
The biggest risk would be for the lonely lion. They do not know their strenght. Together the lion would not stand a chance at all.
I wonder if the lion was biting hard enough or was just trying to scare the hyenas. Because the neck bite lasted for 30 secs, and yet the hyena was able to escape.
That last Hyena that stood up & faced the lion at the end, must be the leader, very brave!
Yes she was the matriarch. Her name is “corky”
Love or hate hyenas. You gotta at least respect them for how tough they are and coming back to save their clan member.
Human's would have either fled the scene, or simply recorded it so they have something to post later. No one would risk their lives to help.
@edntz yeeeeah but unless you actually have a weapon that can even bother the lion you ain't doing shit lol ... in my personal opinion unless you are immediate family or best friend status I ain't risking shit for someone I don't. Nor would the hyenas bother saving a member that isn't part of their clan/family
You can't beat unity
@@edntzand don’t forget the part where they will be screaming and saying oh my god! 😱
@@edntzthat is bullsh1t. Humans help others aswell. There are countless examples of lion, bear and tiger attacks where humans helped out even if it meant they gave up their own life
The subadult male hyena survived unharmed a bite that lasted almost 40 seconds to his head by a huge male lion. This shows how strong, tough, rugged and resilient hyenas are
Honey badger -"Hold my beer"
unharmed for the moment. you don't know whats going on after this. i've seen a guy seemingly casually walking off a car crash and he died 2 days later. granted, they are tough sob's though.
yes but we dont know what happend after that long bite.
@@hazardeur lol.. wild earth KZhead Channel released a video of the young hyena 10 days after the incident called „ Ngwazi the survivor“ video. He is completely healthy and unharmed
@@shax0r The young hyena survived unharmed. His fotos and videos 10 days after the incident are on wild earth KZhead channel. His name is Ngwazi
Much respect to the 3 initial hyenas that responded. Very brave! It feels like they were trying to call the rest of the fam but no one wanted any business with the male lion. Still, they pushed on and saved their clan member, which according to another comment, is a sub-adult male - the lowest ranking member.
There were only 6 or 7 hyenas and 2 or 3 of them were subadults. 2 big female hyena ripped the lion,s face open and freed the young hyena
There is no way of knowing the sex of the hyena that got attacked, I don’t understand why a lot of these people are convinced it’s a male
@@Dutti215Ripped who's face open lol? Quit overexaggerating. They bit the lion. The Lion felt pain and let go. The end.
@@GenericDanDid you go there and checked him? I don’t need to tell you what a hyena bite would do to lions. See „hyenas fight and kill 3 lions“ video
@@Dutti215 Well I looked, and I saw no ripping. You're legitimately the guy who gives hyena lovers a bad name. Word lf advice you want people to like something, don't just cram it down their throats.
Hyenas are an intensely loyal and brave animal. And can be extremely vicious in their own right
www.youtube.com/@AricobenaMata
Hyenas are so smart. Even though they are very fearful of a male lion they know that he can only bite one hyena at a time.
Exactly .
Lol sure they can count. Of course hyenas are smart, but knowing that a lion can't bite while holding is very basic knowledge.
@@gutemorcheln6134No dolt they knew to go for his balls . Lions are dumber than a stick . The matriarch went for his balls and he yelped in pain . Love my hyenas
@@GeorgeFitness-yo8bl I know that hyenas are intelligent. That's not the point. The point is, that counting how many mouths an animal has is no sign of intelligence. Hyenas are incredibly smart though
Lions are dumb? What the hell!!!!
dam respect to that hyena, had a full male lion pounding on his spine for like a full minute and ran away like nothing even happened.
Those hyenas demonstrated admirable “hyenahood” courage😇
Sisterhood if anything
@@j.briscoe9166 The hyena being attacked was a male.
@@BigBrotherTheWatcher1984how do you know?
@@genxdoom4044 He is a subadult male named 'Ngwazi' from the Kruger National Park's famous Djuma Hyena clan.
@@BigBrotherTheWatcher1984 there’s no confirmation but my point was Hyenas are matriarchs
How stoic is that lion? Running into a pack of hyenas without a 2nd thought for self-preservation. Incredible.
Not surprising. Lions will attempt to kill hyenas or any other african predator to remove competition.
They were 6 or 7 hyenas and among them 2 or 3 subadults
His brother wasn't far off
A second male lion was meters away. He showed up literally 6 seconds after the hyenas ripped the lion,s face and freed the young hyena
@@Dutti215 "Arrancaron la cara "🤣 lo que digas hyenaboy
You gotta respect and admire hyenas for how tough they are and coming back to save their young clan member
yes the battles between hyenas and lions have always fascinated me.
One of them had the courage to bite the face of the Lion, risking it’s life for it’s clan member! Perhaps that one was the mother of the attacked hyena 😂
@@martinsks.a8434actually 2 big female hyenas ripped the lion,s face. One from the front and the other from the side
@@Dutti215hadn’t seen a lion as dumb as this one before. Why didn’t he go to feast on the corpse that the hyena pack left for him and chose to attack one of them?!
@@haz4892Because male lions kill hyenas for sport. There is a lot of documentary evidence showing that lions would attack hyenas without any provocation. They are not rationalists. And, the male would get the meal anyways.
I like hyenas. They are very social animals and super loving towards eachother it was so cool seeing them able to save a member of their clan before the lion broke its back
Very few animals walking the earth today can survive a mauling from a male lion that was an incredibly brave clan to stand up to the lion like that few humans would do the same if their friend was caught by a lion
I wouldn't lol
Freaking amazing! What a rescue!
Né!
I love when family comes together to protect their own ❤ 💪

Hyenas are tough beasts. Survived such a massive bite...just unbelievable.!!
Spotted hyenas actually have a stronger bite than lions.
That wasn't a bite the male couldn't get a good grip of the hyenas muscular neck for fear of being castrated!
I can only watch this knowing this hyena is is doing So well he has punctures and some swelling is all we can visibly see . Otherwise acting like a normal 3 year old male Hyena!! He is one tough lucky boy thank goodness his Matriarchal mom saved him! I love this clan so much❤they amaze me!
The djuma clan is so amazing aren’t they? Corky has given us so many videos of action and fights with Lions and other Yeena’s and it’s hard not to love that clan, Ribbon and Corkys power struggles was also super interesting
Nature is really amazing the battles between hyenas and lions have always fascinated me.
Usually hyenas are scared of male lions but this clan couldn’t afford to lose their friend.❤
the injured hyena ran out like nothing happened ...damn strong and tough
Those are some courageous Hyenas.
Verdade
Great footage! This is a grand slam home run. The antagonism and hatred between lions and hyenas is a sight to behold.
There is no hatred... that's you projecting.
www.youtube.com/@AricobenaMata
"You mess with one of us, you mess with ALL of us!"
I admire the loyalty, Hyenas get a bad wrap for what seems to be no good reason. They’re incredibly tough animals, and quite brave considering they consistently compete with other dangerous predators and chase off Leopards even when they’re alone.
I'm surprised Latest Sightings is resorting to clickbaity edited thumbnails though. Not doing that was the one thing that differentiated them from the other channels with atrocious thumbnails.
@@TheKomentor How is the image clickbaity?
@@hyenaboy7504 That particular still doesn't happen in the video. They've cut and pasted the lion and hyenas in "exciting" positions.

It was young nhgwazi that the lion grabbed . He is ribbons son . Ribbon was attacking . Corky was attacking .she is the matriarch . I also saw ntima attacking . Ntima is ribbons daughter . Nhgwazi has survived but has a bad head wound thats draining .his one ear is in rough shape but he is a survivor .
They all made sure they rescued their comrade. Respect to these brave hyenas. They get bad publicity by ignorant people and media.
Thank you for your honest comment and for speaking the truth
I just love their spirit, and their corporation.
So much respect how they came back to save their young buddy

Incredible footage yet again from this brilliant channel. If you play it on slow and analyse the footage, you really get to see the little details in this brief skirmish. At 1:15 you will see the hyena closest to the camera notice something in the distance; no doubt the male lions pride members approaching. Hyenas are one of my favourite animals, such highly intelligent, resilient and fascinating creatures!
You can also see how the lion retreats to the bushes, making it harder for hyenas to pick on his backside
@@gishathosaurus6828 that was fear and the survival instinct kicking in for sure, he realised he'd let himself get surrounded and they had no fear of him. Lionesses do the same when under attack from Hyenas.
The birds also sensed danger
@@crimsonchin9632 And hyenas do it when mobbed by Cape dogs (or rival hyenas for that matter). It's Fighting Tactics 101 for the whole bunch - the groin is a soft target with lots of major nerves and blood vessels, and injuries there can quickly disable the hind legs with obviously fatal results. Also difficult to defend given the eyes and fangs are at the other end. It's also Hunting Tactics 101 to attack that part for exactly those reasons, which is why you see all of them doing it all the time to buffalos and antelopes and what have you.
@@broadbandislife Well thanks for that Attenborough, where would I be without you.
Lions are brave, strong, tough, rugged, durable, resilient and have the strongest neck and heart. Lions are gorgeous and amazing 👏👏👏👏
I wrote this comment about hyenas. Why did you steal it lion fanboy ? Nothing in it fits lions Lmao
Lions have small hearts and low stamina. An oversized cat neck. And not durable or resilient lmao
I wrote also that hyenas have the strongest jaw. Why didn’t you steal that as well? Was that too embarrassing for you to say it about lions 😂
@@Dutti215Yeah lol, if you look closely, bro is already acting up after just 2 bites on its hind leg, I love all animals, but the bias behavior infuriates me and I thank God for my knowledge of animals, I can use it to my advantage and defend them.
The smaller hyena even turned back and stood there watching after escaping the lion's jaws, like nothing ever happened. Wow!
Most often the injury effect show later on and I highly suspect if that hyena can live a healthy life ever again!
@@frankd9015the young hyena was filmed 10 days after the incident unharmed

hyenas are tough durable.....and live violent lives in clans he will be fine in time@@frankd9015
I’m glad to read comments below that respect hyenas. Yes, they don’t deserve all the hatred they get just because their way of killing preys is brutal. Lions too eat warthogs and other preys while they are still alive.
Predators don't exactly give a flying fuck about the tender feelings of their dinner, only thing that matters is it's sufficiently subdued to be consumed.
Who cares if they’re way of hunt is brutal? Prey is not something a predator sympathize with.
For a lion to let go..the bites from the Hyenas must be deep and very painful. Hahaha. I love this
His balls were almost ripped off!
amazing moment, hyenas are big! When 3 big females confront him, the powerful lion stay on the defensive (1:14) , if this clan attack togheter this lion would be in serious danger!!
Exactly. Excellent observations
This was the Djuma clan and one of the Black Dam males on Djuma. Nghwazi is the hyena that was caught and he has a few marks on his head but he is doing great.
I love Hyenas. They showed the Lion who's boss.
They showed the Lion who's boss?! A lone Lion charged 8 Hyenas that have the strongest bite in Africa and they all scattered like roaches.
@@oscarurbina2678 The hyenas did show that they don’t care who’s boss tho.
@@oscarurbina2678 male lions don’t live alone, they live in coalitions. Hyenas know that very well. The partner of that male lion showed up literally 6 seconds after the young hyena was freed
Wow, seems like they’re lot more courageous than common scavengers!
S.Hyenas are predators
Spotted hyenas are apex predators and hunt most of their food
www.youtube.com/@AricobenaMata
They are. And they're more than mere scavengers. They're opportunistic, but they do hunt.
@@Emper0rH0rde They are apex predators and they hunt most of their food. All predators steal and scavange. Lions do that more than hyenas
Those 3 hyenas that helped their homie out are real ones 🙌🏼
Hyenas are extremely tough and durable creatures. Its really amazing the hyena survived this attack and was able to move and run afterwards.
Much respect to the hyena clan.
Respect for both of them, hearth and balls of the lion and courage and social intelligence by hyenas.
Brilliant to see never leave a man behind
The hyena that got caught was identified as a 3 years old subadult male from the Djuma clan called „Ngwazi“. Not even an adult. Survived unharmed. Was filmed 10 days after the incident
Had wounds.
@@nammoo89 Very small light wounds. Almost scratches. For a hyena that’s not an injury. Hyenas don’t die from flesh wounds. They are immune against infection diseases that effect other animals
Basically, these guys are hella tough for their size. Makes sense given how many fights they get into, never mind now having to contend with the lions that _starts_ at about three times their size. Pretty intense selection pressure for injury tolerance there.
The male lion couldn't even seriously injure the hyena that grabbed it, and was severely counterattacked by the other hyenas. In the scene from 1:11～ the hyena is about to bite the male lion's face. The hyena that was bitten by the male lion suffered no injuries and is still healthy. A male lion should never meddle with a hyena alone unless in the company of two or more. A single male lion's attack cannot do much damage to a hyena, and a hyena can seriously injure a lion with a single bite.
Actually 2 big female hyenas ripped the lion,s face open. One from the front and the other from the side
@@Dutti215I missed that. Didn’t see that. Have to watch it again,
Uh there's footage of lone male lions grabbing and killing hyena in just few seconds while their 20+ clan mates watch helplessly. A big powerful Male lion in his prime dgaf about how many hyenas are around. If he gets a a hold of one, the hyena is either dead or severely injured in most situations
@@HBSup You are talking about male lions killing hyena cubs lol. How about to learn to differentiate between a hyena cub and an adult hyena first? LMAO
@@Dutti215 cubs? LOL a grown hyena is no match for a lion you FOOL
It's a good thing they were able to save the hyena before the second male arrived, also good to hear that this hyena survived and is currently doing well. 😃💖
how do we now there was a second male🤨
Kkkkkkkkkkk,,wat a comment
@@mnkash2007 in another video second male lion arrived, but that was a few minutes after the hyena was released while the first male was being cornered.
@@bobblegang14the second male lion arrived after a few seconds not minutes after the young hyena was freed
Excellent quality! Hyenas never cease to amaze!
Damn Hyenas are tough, they could do so much damage if they really wanted to as well. But usually they just nip at lions, even in these situations. they could tear his guts out if they actually went for it.
Yes they can tear his guts out if they wanted. but male lions are usually not alone and hyenas know that. His partner was meters away. He showed up literally 6 seconds after the hyenas ripped the lion,s face and freed the young hyena
Now that's a clan.
I live in Africa and this are the most iconic animals in the wild 🙌🏾🙌🏾🇰🇪❤
Really?
Hyenas are really tough cookies! How on earth that hyena survived the big male lion mauling is beyond me. Any other animal would have died or incapacitated.
And he is just a subadult male hyena
Poor thing 😢 Thank gdness for the concerted effort of his pack 👏
Wow, this is truly an amazing sighting!
Amazing how tough hyenas are. If we were grabbed by the throat by a lion and then bit on the head a few times, we'd be done for. The hyena just runs off like its nothing.
And the hyena that got caught is just a subadult male hyena
Hyenas are smart and resilient. Good team players!
This is such amazing footage. Thanks for doing the work you do.

You are most welcome.
"Never wound a foe when you can kill him. Dead men don't claim vengeance." Tywin Lannister
Although it is an ugly animal, it provides the best example of group cooperation and defending each other against the strongest predators 🙄🌹
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. The lion caught a subadult male hyena. An adult hyena is more than capable of fighting back against an adult male lion 1v1, defeating him and escaping. There’s „hyena corky has fought with a male lion“ video lmao
That’s why unity is strength💪
Hyenas have a very strong immune system, and even if they are seriously injured, they will not die from infection. In this video, the male lion who was attacked by the hyena and bitten all over its body is more likely to cause trouble in the future.
Exactly
For sure! they are like Wolverine, they heal and are almost immortal. I heard that the Lion died hours later. 😆😆😆

The Hyenas are all circling the male Lion 🦁 like, “ YOUR GOING DOWN YOU LOW DOWN MURDERING FELINE.”
Lions are the top apex predator in the African bush. When it comes to the wild rivalry between lions and hyenas, the hyenas are *always* the underdogs. We all have a natural born tendency to "cheer" for the underdogs, and that's why it honestly surprises me that hyenas have been the "villains" for so long, but I'm happy to see they're finally, at long last, getting some long deserved love.
I love your channel. You delivery just what the title says. No click bait like SOME others do. Glad to be a sub.
There are multiple videos on youtube of lions attacking hyenas, but not a single single male lion has reliably killed an adult hyena. Hyenas are very powerful animals, and male lions are as difficult a task to take down an adult hyena as it is to take down a male cape buffalo. lioness can never kill an adult hyena, even if it's more than one, so she always runs away after being crushed by the hyena.
Thank you for your honest comment and for speaking the truth
Do your research properly. There are severe videos where a single Lion destroys Hyenas for fun.
One for all, all for one. That's why I love hyenas. Smart animals they always work as a team and never leave their comrade behind even if it was the lowest ranking member of the clan.
This was on the WildEarth Safari Livestream a few days earlier. So glad someone else was able to get it from another angle.
Juju! Se salvó! O al menos eso parece 😬... Muchísima valentía en esas hienas, no cualquiera va de frente contra el Rey...

@@valentinasvetlaoka9153 Not many hyenas. There were 6 or 7 hyenas and 2 or 3 of them were subadults
Love seeing my big cat tearing through the scavengers lines lol
Lion fanboys are crying out lol. You are showing ignorance by calling an apex predator like the mighty hyenas scavengers. Not a wise thing to do lion fanboy
Hyenas hunt more than they scavenge.
You do realize lions scavenge just as much as hyenas right? If you want a predator that doesn’t commonly scavenge look at the humble leopard. Just remember all predators scavenge if they didn’t they would more then likely die out.
@@Skyypixelgamer Please don't put the beautiful leopard in the same sentence with the hyena lol
@@LionDominator nah I will. Their both competent predators who get overshadowed by lions.

That lion stopped fighting after getting the taste of 1100 PSI on his face at around 1:12 xD
Lions hate when animals bite them
Impressive, these hyenas are very helpful creatures. They work in a group and save their fellow if it is caught up in critical condition. This trait is rarely seen in other animals
Those Hyenas were like "Oh shit he caught little Timmy from down the street & Nobody messes with Little Timmy, We Ride together we Die Together ATTACK!!!!!"
A união faz a força! 👏👏👏
Amazing hyenas 💪
Hyenas are some gangsters. They will bite nuts to save a brother. That's some real shit right there.
Even Scavenging predators can risk their lives to save one of their own ❤😊!
Spotted hyenas are apex predators and they hunt most of their food
All predators steal from each other if and when they can
Are these animals too desensitized to humans? They seem to not care at all about the humans and just go about their life.
Because we are completly Strangers, they dont understand if we are a Prey or a Threat.
I'd love to have a hyena as a pet. They seem loyal like dogs.
They apparantly tame pretty easily, but man, I wouldn't recommend it.
If you want to get ripped apart in your sleep go for it. 😂
Hyenas are very complicated.
Ancient eygtians tamed the smaller striped hyena so while it’s possible I dot. Recommend it.
so pretty much the same as a pitbull@@Atrus999
That was epic charge and pounce footage. Maybe best I’ve seen on KZhead
Now that's real team work!!
Nature is awesome. I could empathize with both sides as if I were involved
nah that lion shouldn't have tried a gang of hyenas, very low iq should've have just tried to run with a big chunk of the meat not worth anything else
@@-Datboijj- Just shows you lack the ability to relate. The clip is too short for random foreigners to come on and make judgement. The lion could've been starving or had a grudge on the hyenas etc.
@@kanjo4976
I wish he had attacked one of those packs with like 20 hyenas. Then the hyenss would have the courage to actually go for the kill and we would see who is the real king of the jungle.
Watch 1 lion vs 20 hyenas, same outcome pal
@@VerminCrusher3010 Well these hyenas are a lot more confident. Realistically in a clash, it takes like 7 hyenas to kill a male lion with minimal injuries.
@@GenericDan too bad they are all too afraid to do something about a male lion lol
Family first and together strong
Just unbelievable how strong and resilient hyenas are . The clan was biting and grabbing his balls. They brutalized that male . He couldn’t hold on for another second .Love it . Few more seconds he would have been castrated
The Hyena in the Lion's jaws and the Whole group of Hyenas who Ran away from the 2 Male Lions were the Only ones who were brutalized.
@@ryosargeant1257 No fool the clan came back and the large female hyena almost took off the males balls . They took chunks out of his back . Didn’t you hear the fake king yelping? Turn up your sound it’s fascinating
@@ryosargeant1257just ignore him, he likes to sprout out random over exaggerated shit
@@ryosargeant1257Whole hyena clan? There were 6 or 7 hyenas and 2 or 3 from them were subadults including the caught hyena. Not a whole clan lol
@@Dutti215 Who says whole clan? . They very rarely travel as an entire clan . The male was taught a valuable lesson . Part of his balls are missing
Surprising to see hyenas taking so much risk to rescue. One of them straight up bit the lion’s face lol
Actually 2 did that. One straight from the front and the other from the side
They live in groups for a _reason._
I guess the lion king movie was wrong
If it was a pack of wild dogs, I think the lion would've killed at least one of them. Hyena is pretty big for a lion
The painted dogs are about 1/3 of spotted hyena size, and spotted hyenas are about 1/3 _lioness_ size. (Male lions are meaningfully bigger natch.) But where even lone hyenas can get away with some frankly astonishing audacity against the doggos a solitary lioness is pretty much a goner if she runs into a hyena group, and even the big males need to watch their step around the buggers if they don't have the pride for support. What I'm getting at is spotted hyenas are disproportionately tough bastards for their size.
Even though the hyena was rescued by its clan members, chances of surviving that lion assault are 50/50
The young hyena was filmed 10 days after the incident. He is unharmed with 2 scratches on his head. The video is called „Ngwazi the survivor“
They almost immediately go for the balls so he had to turn his rear toward the bushes to protect himself.
That's universal pack-hunter tactics, they use it against prey all the time. The groin has a lot of major nerves and blood vessels so injuries there disable rapidly, and it's also a relatively safe target given it's at the opposite end from where the teeth and horns and tusks and other natural weaponry (as well as the eyes to direct them) are. If you look at videos of fights between the various predators of the savanna one thing you'll quickly notice is how they're wont to hold their hindquarters low to the ground when surrounded specifically to deny the opponents that juicy target - the constant turning you see in that scenario plays into that too. Spotted hyenas have even evolved noticeably smooth and rounded hindquarters to deny hostile fangs purchase on the hips etc. which should say something about how many fights _they_ get into.
I've also seen footage of a pair of hyenas that were being chased by an irate pack of painted dogs park their butts against a tree in similar fashion. Resulted in a standoff and the dogs eventually leaving to do something more useful with their time. Water gets used similarly as most African critters instinctively avoid entering it for fear of crocs and angry hippos, though spotted hyenas seem to be an exception (they're apparently clever enough to be able to tell when it's safe).
I don't understand why the Lion always wants to choke the Hyena. Why doesn't the Lion try to bite or scratch the Hyena?
that's just how they kill. i'm sure they have good reason for how they do it, they know best with their experience
Kill?
Don't worry they scratch..but bite does more damage
It's a good tactic, but not when being swarmed. The hyens got away because it had the clan as backup, would've died otherwise.
I love that the hyenas brutalized the male and put holes in his back and ripped open his face! Hyenas are tougher and better hunters and more intelligent than any big cat! Love the hyenas
lol dude that's all BS. the only thing hyena's got over them is their teamwork. and they're definitely not better hunters than cats. cats are god damn ninjas. best hunter creature ever created.
@@hazardeur yes S. Hyenas are better hunters than cats. What you mean to say Is that cats have better hunting technique. (which isn't really a thing)
@@hazardeur Lions have a success rate of 30%, whereas hyenas have a success of 74%. Then there's African wild dogs, with an 80% success rate.
nope, i meant to say what i said. solo, a hyena is not going to last long whereas for almost every cat, it's daily life. hyenas evolved with their pack strategy and that works for them but that's why hyenas are worse hunters than cats. cats are built for hunting @@Monster-Beast-Fan
@@hazardeurHyenas have one of the strongest jaw and neck in the animal kingdom. Have a much higher stamina than lions and bigger hearts. Much more durable and resilient
Wow that Hyena was actually Remarkably Strong wow Africas Tough
That was some excellent footage. I assumed that was in Africa somewhere. Very brave to film something like that.❤
This was filmed from a safari vehicle. The animals ignore them because they think it's another, bigger animal.
🤣🤣🤣
It is in Africa (where else would you see something like this? The fact both species here are only native to Africa proves the video was taken in Africa).

Hyenas ripped the lion,s face open, put holes in his back and forced him to release the young hyena
@@yueviathan same as lion fans like you think a single lion can kill a clan of hyenas. A pride of lions gives way to a single elephant. If it crosses their path.
@@rameshpudhucode6862 um...what? Why are you putting words in my mouth? I didn't say that nor believe that. Can you fan boy of animals stop making everything a popularity war please? Yall are ridiculous. Unlike you I understand how both animals work. No a single lion can't defeat a entire clan, in fact hyenas that want to kill a lion are extremely likely to do so when they gang up on them and tip the odds to do just that. many lionesses, cubs, and subadult and lone males die this way. Again I can like an animal and still understand facts and not twist the narrative like you people seem to do. I watch lion documentaries, hyena documentaries, elephant documentaries, cheetah and leopard documentaries, wild dog documentaries.. Should I go into how wild dogs stand up to hyenas? All these animals fight for survival and don't give a damn whether we like them or not, and would easily kill us if we got out of our cars and tried to greet them. So yeah, yall weird.
I'm going to add to my comment. I like the personality and dynamics of lions, and their beauty but I would never want to be one. To be a lion you have to be ok with cannibalisms, rape following cannibalisms, relentless fighting, high risk chance of severe injuries due to how they hunt or constant conflict, and relentless wars both with other lions and hyenas, and also risk from leopards and elephants, you are born being hated by everything in the safari, while also poached by humanity. To be a hyena you have a monarchy, and tight nit group but you have to be good at the politics of it, which is prone to a bully complex within it as early as a cub, you are at war with other clans and lions, and take on everything in the bush at some point or another. I respect them but wouldn't want to be them either. In all honesty, the animal who life I respect the most is wild dogs and elephants but if we stick to carnivores wilds dogs is my pick. A tight nit family that fight to the death to protect their young and each other always, have a high hunting success rate and prefer to avoid all parties. Sadly what kills them most is lions and hyenas. Which is why they are critically endangered, but yeah they basically dogs/wolves out there and in the wild is the least likely to attack you. Jackles also live cute lives with low issues, they are often ignored. I adore lions and fascinated by them, but I respect hyenas life style more, but I respect wild dogs more then both and elephants more then them. If you want my honest answer.
Hyenas are brave, strong, tough, rugged, smart, durable, resilient and have the strongest jaw, neck and heart. Hyenas are gorgeous and amazing 👏 👏 👏 👏
Are you the type of person with multiple oversized pet dogs & a bumper sticker that says "I love my dogs"
@@DigitalDissidentHyenas are hyenas. They are so unique that they have a family all their own called Hyaenidae. But they are closer to cats than dogs
@@Dutti215 but what do they taste like, think bbq roast hyena
@@DigitalDissidentYou have expressed yourself in your other comment that you are a hyena hater. No need to do it again here
