The lion is a classy predator, ranked at the top of the food chain and is known as the king of the jungle because of its resounding roar and majestic appearance.
However, being labeled the king of the jungle does not mean that the lion can leisurely avoid all dangers, on the contrary, there are still many other dangerous predators ready to take it down immediately. when losing, typical of them are hyenas.
The hatred between lions and hyenas comes from a simple reason, a dispute over food sources. Specifically, hyenas are a species that often eats other people’s leftovers. Not only that, they also form gangs that specialize in robbing prey from predators, and of course the king of the forest cannot feel satisfied. angry when others disturb their food source.
Despite hating each other, these two animals are very limited in their ability to engage in meaningless competitions to save energy and avoid unnecessary injuries.
In case of forced confrontation, the lion will usually be the winner. Although hyenas often lose in one-on-one fights, they are not easy to defeat.
When there are many members, they will force the lions to fight until exhausted and injured. Just a simple mistake by a lion can get it killed because hyenas are not creatures that can give up easily.
Like in the clip below, we can see how a large and ferocious group of hyenas surround and bully a lone male lion.
The main character in the story is a male lion in the stage of personal development named Red.
According to the videographer’s description, at this age, teenage lions tend to be curious about exploring the vast world outside the narrow territory of the pride. That day, Red took the risk of leaving the herd to go alone and trudged straight to the hyenas’ territory.
This made the hyenas extremely angry, rushing to attack Red. With real combat experience and overwhelming numbers, the hyenas could completely kill Red if not for a miracle.
Luckily in the midst of the boiling fire, one of Red’s “brothers” somehow found him and joined forces to chase away those obnoxious bullies.
Despite being much larger in number, with the power of the pair of lions, the hyenas could not fight back and had to sadly run away.
