The second-largest and strongest land predator in Africa is the hyena. Furthermore, they reside in sizable clans. Not to add, their IQ is comparable to that of chimpanzees.
Yes, almost all African animals—including lions occasionally—have a dread of hyenas at some point. They approach lions in a tactical and planned manner. not launching an assault or displaying hostility before requesting assistance or evaluating the circumstances. They wage psychological warfare by making sounds like "laughing" and other noises. It functions.
Hyenas usually overwhelm and overpower lions, especially lionesses, and often steal their kills from them. When lions are present in large enough numbers, they get so terrified that they scale trees and stay there until sunrise. A hyena can and will kill a lion.
(Of fact, both ways apply—they are enduring rivals.)
However, this would happen significantly more frequently for mature male lions in hyena-rich environments. (Clans larger than 40–70) In the conflict between the two species, they serve as the neutralizer. Lions and hyenas are able to identify people and know who they can and cannot easily prey on. With comparable ease and frequency of death by the male lion.
They don't apply because spotted hyenas and tigers don't occur together. The cheetah, wild dog, and leopard are among the large predators. And they certainly do dread them. shown by their giving up prey and running away from them right away 1x1, as they should, as hyenas are bigger, more ferocious, and seldom seen alone (140+lbs) Geographical variations exist among leopards: (Females 45–90, males 67–150; South African leopards seldom weigh more than 100 pounds)
It's not necessary to be a fan of hyenas to see their advantages.
