Numbers game: 30 hyenas vs. 3 lions

https://Hyena-Project.com ► 30 hyenas of the Forest clan taking on a coalition of 3 young male lions. Male lions often steal kills from hyenas. While hyenas stay clear of large-maned males, they will challenge young males and lionesses if they outnumber them by a factor of 6. Challenging lions takes great determination and teamwork. Here, the hyenas try to intimidate one of the lions by whooping, groaning and circling around it. Lions are the hyenas’ primary competitor in the Ngorongoro Crater and competition is fierce. Despite this, thanks to the high density of prey and protection of local authorities, both species are thriving.
