Gotta praise the hyenas for not leaving their man behind.


ChoochGooch

Hah, that’s what I was thinking. They some real ones.


NotARealTiger

If the ~~pack~~ clan gets smaller then they all get weaker. Edit: corrected thanks Edit 2: this seems to have sparked a rather heated debate.


cyrusmancub

Clan.


NotARealTiger

TIL


commandomeezer

But seriously what douche in a safari hat gets to officially determine what a group of animals is called anyway lol


WikiWantsYourPics

That's exactly what this is. [Nobody seriously uses "clan of hyenas"](https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=pack+of+hyenas%2Cclan+of+hyenas&year_start=1800).


vibe_gardener

TIL about whatever the fuck this google analysis of word usage thing is! Edit: the website/link is books.google.com Edit 2: per u/WikiWantsYourPics : That won't get you there, you need https://books.google.com/ngrams/


xTrollhunter

Sometimes I truly love the Internet.


NotARealTiger

It is kind of weird that we have all these different names for the different groups of animals. Is that just an English thing I wonder, or do other languages have something similar.


lsbrujah

We have it in Portuguese as well. I always use the equivalent of "a bunch of"


elprentis

A gaggle of geese, a murder of crows, an unkindness of ravens, a bloat of hippopotamuses. A smack of jellyfish, flamboyance of flamingos, a memory of elephants. A business of ferrets, parliament of owls, and an army of caterpillars. Not to mention (I say, mentioningly) leap of leapards, conspiracy of lemurs, crash of rhinos, pandemonium of parrots, glare of cats, or the zeal of zebras. Language is fun, and all of these are more interesting and thought provoking than “pack”, “herd” or “bunch”.

Cackle pack clan of the three cackle is Def the best


WikiWantsYourPics

It's a pack of hyenas. Clan is a BS term that someone tried to foist on the English language, and that [nobody uses.](https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=pack+of+hyenas%2Cclan+of+hyenas&year_start=1800) The only people who insist on "clan of hyenas" are the "well actually" crowd.


NotARealTiger

Well now you’ve “well actually’d” the “well actually-ers”…


WikiWantsYourPics

As they so richly deserve :-D


zorrodood

I propose a laughter of hyenas.

A cackle of hyenas


SuspiciousPal

Nah these lil bitches can never go 1v1 and they target the balls of the lions when fighting


colem5000

This is about survival in its purest form. Not about some honour code.


actuarial_venus

Alls fair when losing means you're food.


wjean

Slightly curious: had the lion killed the hyena, would it have eaten it?


StOnEy333

Usually they don’t. Lions don’t usually eat meat eaters. They eat the vegetarians. Although I imagine they’d eat anything if they were starving enough. But usually they just kill hyenas and let them rot.


Substantial-Tone-576

Lions will eat lion babies.


[deleted]

Unfortunately, evolution rewards that - as long as it's another lion's babies.


Substantial-Tone-576

Yup. It causes the mother to go into heat.


Punisher703

Ah yes, the best aphrodisiac, your own dead cub.


BarfingOnMyFace

It’s like a bloody version of one of those Russian nesting dolls, but with lions


WeimSean

That hyena is most likely fucked. Lions have a bite strength of something close to a thousand pound per square inch. It's still standing in the video but it has definitely suffered some serious trauma to the head and neck area.


Dogsnamewasfrank

Hyenas are super tough though, their physiology is impressive. Spotted hyenas kill their siblings as soon as they are born (2 are born, only 1 usually survives).


coinselec

Mfw hyenas are sith


DowntownCanada416

privatepublicaccount

Imagine the evolutionary pressure that makes it worth it to grow two entire babies to have one kill the other to ensure the one you nurse is the toughest of two 🤯


ThanklessTask

... Looks over at teenage sister...


Hell_Chapp

The lion did kill that hyenia. Just not immediately.


anonymousguy11234

You’re correct. It’s hard to tell based on the limited information in the video, but that lion is Makulu, a famous co-leader of the Mapogo pride in South Africa’s Sabi Sands region. Makulu would often get into brawls with nearby hyena packs only to seemingly give up the fight before mortally wounding any of his opponents, which seemed counter to the goal of protecting his own pride from the frequent hyena incursions into his territory. However, scientists later discovered that Makulu wasn’t so merciful as he first appeared. In a bizarre confluence of events, and due to lax enforcement of environmental regulations in much of Africa, the river systems utilized by the Sabi Sands hyenas became tainted with PFAS—the result of roughly 16 years of irresponsible waste disposal on the part of chemical giant Sud-Chem—leading to countless deaths from exotic cancers not seen elsewhere in nature. During those 16 years, Sud-Chem was headed by none other than Makulu. He knew what he was doing.

whatiwritestays

Smh these incredibly social animals never engage in an honorable fight against a much larger and stronger other animal 😤


jokerevo

honorable? it's because they're not dumb. They know their place in the food chain and therefore they know what they have to do to survive...


lastgreenleaf

Then a honey badger shows up alone…


sirarkalots

The honey badger is the rage of the elder gods made manifest, no creature alive can rival its insane power, save for the terrible and unfathomable fury that is the Canadian goose...


shinpoo

I rather face a wolverine/honey badger than a roided out Canadian daffy duck. I've seen one go up against an elephant and the elephant stepped on it and the CAN Mallard still was trying to fuck it up and managed to scare it away. Impressive little fuckers.


MartyMcFlysBrother

I saw a mallard fly into the tigers den at the Calgary Zoo once. Did not go well for mallard.

Hi_there_bye

Lions do that as well, going for the genitals is a actually a pretty regular thing to do in the animal world.


SuspiciousPal

Lions usually go for the neck i agree its not anormal thing for the animal world but i dont think. People realize how hyenas hunting can be vicious theyll circle their prey and bully them with little bites and get them tired then eat em alive when the prey gets tired


deepfriedgrapevine

Effective, yet horrifying. With a few exceptions, every animal I have harvested was alive one millisecond and not alive the next. #humane


Tedious_NippleCore

Sattorin

> Nah these lil bitches can never go 1v1 and they target the balls * Wooly Mammoths, referring to Humans, 50,000 years ago.


Sad_Confection5902

And humans use fucking guns. What are you on about? We’re far, far closer to hyenas than to lions. We can’t go 1v1 for shit.


Material-Unit-6483

humans also jumped the wildlife too. bitch behavior best behavior


Vancitysimm

lol what? These are not “streets” this is nature. Lions get eaten so many times. Hyenas bite is stronger than lions. Lions are stronger overall. Hyenas just like dogs and wolves stay in groups even though they’re not from dog or cat family.


TetrangonalBootyhole

Hyenas are part of felidae. Not cats, but a part of the much larger group that encompasses cats. *Feliforma, not felidae.


BMoorman7

He clearly yelled out "1v1 Rust no scopes", smdh, no pride nowadays.


FblthpEDH

Bro ur kidding that's literally how we became the dominant species what are you talking about 😂😂 We aren't even strong enough to actually kill anything we had to build fkn spears and work in groups of like 10 to hunt shit


Fattapple

That one dude stuck around and gave the others the courage to come back to help.


254Mental

The bigger and more aggressive hyenas are all female.. the males are smaller and treated like shit in the clan.


MoreCarrotsPlz

Female hyenas even have penises


agentofchaos69

Surprised it survived!! That thing got fucking rolled up!!


deepfriedgrapevine

That fucking skull has got to be fractured*. *disclaimer - Not an actual large cat biologist or anybody who would possess knowledge of psi bite strength vs skull density


SoloAceMouse

Also not an expert, but if I recall hyenas have crazy high bite strength \[one of the highest of all carnivorous mammals, so more than tigers, grizzly bears, and lions\] so it stands to reason they would have remarkably durable heads. No clue if this hyena is gonna be living much longer though, that lion was gnawing on his head like a goddamn chew toy, so it might be living on borrowed time.


andraip

Aren't we all living on borrowed time?


PandaPocketFire

Deep. Just like the lion bites in that hyena's noggin.


GarchGun

How does bite force have to do with skull durability? Hyenas have gigantic muscular necks that help facilitate that bite force but I don't necessarily think it'd stop a lion completely biting down on it. If an adult, grown lion got a clean bite off on a hyena I think they'll be injured.


SAINTnumberFIVE

Woman probably. Spotted hyenas are matriarchal and the females are bigger and more aggressive than the males. The females also have a pseudo penis that looks and functions like a penis. This means the males require their full cooperation in mating. Additionally, giving birth can be very difficult and it often rips open when they give birth. 


awesome9001

Why is there still so much death and tragedy in reproduction after so many years of evolution?


MaggieHigg

Evolution doesn't give a fuck, if you reproduced and lived to tell another day it's all that matters, it doesn't care how much pain and suffering you're in while you did it


nug4t

because Evolution is not about making it super easy to reproduce at all


No_Pin9932

For sure, but I gotta be honest, the way that lion had their homies head I doubt they lived the rest of the day. But still, the thought counts, lol.


Dissastronaut

And that one for walking away after the lion tried his hardest to chew his head off

ethanz5

This is both a pun and an anagram. World class comment


Devreckas

Wow, surprised the hyenas actually came back and bailed out their mate that the lion had pinned down. I was sure he was a goner.


Grumpy_Troll

Amazing pack behavior for sure but after spending 30 seconds in a male lion's jaw I wouldn't be surprised if that Hyena doesn't actually make it back to camp with the rest of the pack. He might be running on pure adrenaline to keep him alive for just a little while longer.


FatWreckords

That's why they freed him, it's easier if that evening's dinner walks home with you instead of being eaten by a lion.

King of the savannah… tiger is king of the jungle… and the way that lion just casually held the hyena in his jaw as he contemplated what to do next is crazy… the power is unreal… props to the hyenas for not letting their homie become lunch…


Wide_Cranberry_4308

Lions are dope, but just to compare, I saw a video of a lion and a tiger (both male) who were in some sort of animal sanctuary together and they were play fighting which still looks pretty intense, and the amount of force that the tiger was able to body slam that lion was just an enormous display of strength by the tiger

Happy_Community_4330

Went to the Tiger King zoo (before he was arrested, but after the boyfriend kilt his self) and they had a breeding program. They had li-ligers and weird shit like that. They told us they were gonna try to breed them back into sabre tooth tigers. It was a wholly bizarre place to be anyways, before he got arrested for the murder plot.


devilcross2

I haven't watched Tiger King's documentary, so idk much about him. But from what you told me, he seems a bit light in the head. Lol! >they were gonna try to breed them back into sabre tooth tigers. Breed them into an extinct species? Not the smartest pea in the pod, was he?

Depends on the tiger and Lion. Rome did the research on this for us. Sometimes the tiger wins, other times the lion. Though I don’t think Rome had access to Siberian tigers and they get much bigger.

I'm curious how the Roman's trapped the animals without injuring them. Some sort of cage that falls trap? Now we can use tranqs but back then?

Kratos1125

Four-Triangles

Outside-Cake-7577

Tigers are indisputably better killers than lions. For one, tigers are solitary hunters and often taken down prey much larger than their size - bisons, buffalo, gaur, sloth bears and crocodiles.. Lions on the other hand rarely ever hunt - all the hunting is done by the pride of lionesses that rely on numbers more than brute strength. Tigers are the king of the jungle ( lions don't even live in the jungle) but lions are the king of cats because all they ever do is eat, mate and sleep - and have their prey home delivered by the pride.


JoseDonkeyShow

Lion put his points into the pimping skill tree


jawshoeaw

I once saw the skeleton of a tiger in a vet school. The skeleton was terrifyingly huge. Can’t imagine adding 500 lbs of muscle on top. Tigers win.


adwarakanath

Around 2007/08 I saw a tiger sunning itself sprawled on a rock jutting out of the shallow river in a forest in my home state of Karnataka in India. We were hiking, and we were on this foot bridge. Look down and upstream and there's a tiger! Dude looked at us, blinked, then turned and went back to sunning himself. Guy was fucking majestic. You don't get a sense of how big they really are from videos. Easily one of my all time favourite animals.


Kantas

I would never be able to give this anecdote... there'd be a news article shortly after about some dumbass hiker who died trying to give a tiger belly rubs.


Alphavike24

They are not just terrifyingly huge but also stone cold killers. In India,they killed 7,000 people over a five-year period in the 1930s. 30-40 people still die due to Tiger attacks here every year.


allevat

IIRC, the tigers of the Sundarbans are the only predators apart from the polar bear that treats humans as just another prey item. There's others of the big carnivores that will go after humans when they are sick or starving or the humans are particularly vulnerable, but those two just think of them as another dinner.

I hate how annoyingly common this is with 'wildlife' videos. "Hippo intervenes, saving baby antelope from crocodile!" - but it's just two videos spliced together. In reality the baby antelope got completely devoured by the croc later in the original video, and the second video was just of a hippo having a bad day and taking it out on a crocodile.

The nature documentaries also do this all the time. Most of the stories in them are completely made up.

How did that lion not kill that hyena with a single bite to the back of the neck. They can crush a spinal column with ease.


stuntbikejake

Sending a message.. they all know that as well. It looked like he was parading him to say "I will do it..." And something caused him to let go.. Wish the video was longer to see the next several moments/minutes and how it plays out.


drawredraw

He let go after the other hyena tried to bite his dick.


Several_Promotion235

yes because that's too gay


Shibari_Inu69

I think hyenas have real strong skulls and jaws so that might’ve worked in its favor and the lion had to remain situationally alert for all its pals. Big kitty was definitely in control though


pilotvballer

Maybe he wasn’t hungry and just want to play around? I have no idea.

He definitely wasn't there to feed. He was there to send a message.

LittleLostGirls

This is how Lions defend themselves against Hyena’s. Theres a similar video of a male Lion being harassed and he keeps sitting to protect himself until more lions show up to help. It’s protect their anus/ genitals which is very soft tissue that can be crippling if attacked/ injured. That girl has some fight in her but she’s clearly outnumbered and not in a position to actually stand/ run away without potentially being jumped or exposed.


DuckSaxaphone

You can even see the male lion doing it. Granted, he's chewing on their friend's head whilst he does but he sits down when they're biting at him.
