Hyena Cub Walks Right into Huge Male Lion
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
A regal male lion hunts a hyena cub in the middle of the road. The cub's small size makes it no match for the hungry lion. Get your hands on Latest Sightings Merchandise here: latestsightings.com/shop
A 20-year-old student with a passion for wildlife, Tanisha Rach, recently had an unforgettable experience at Kruger National Park that left her feeling both exhilarated and humbled. She shared the sighting and footage with LatestSightings.com. Send in your wildlife video here and earn money: www.latestsightings.com/partn...
"After a long day of searching for elusive cats, my group and I were driving back to the Phabeni Gate when we spotted movement in the distance. As we drew closer, we were thrilled to see a magnificent male lion strolling along the road, asserting his dominance."
"While sitting with the lion, a shadow appeared in the road ahead. At first, we were unable to identify the figure. As it got closer, it became clear that the figure was a young hyena, oblivious to the danger it was getting itself into. What followed was a surreal and awe-inspiring scene as the lion began hunting the hyena cub. Despite our initial impulse to intervene, we knew that interfering would disrupt the natural balance of the environment. So we watched on with heavy hearts."
"The lion proceeded to deliver a fatal blow to the young cub." This resulted in instant death for the vulnerable cub.
Lions and hyenas are age-old enemies. Any opportunity to eliminate the other will not be missed. Lions have an intrinsic hatred for hyenas, as hyenas are known to bully lions off their kills. One-on-one, a hyena stands no chance. When the odds are in favor of the hyenas, the results are often in their favor.
"This was an extremely rare occurrence, as the last time I witnessed a hunt was five years ago. The lions’ instincts kicked in, and he was off. The young cub stood no chance."
I couldn't believe the footage we had captured and was excited to share it with others who shared my passion for wildlife. The Latest Sightings app is an excellent tool for anyone looking to stay up-to-date on the latest sightings and connect with a community of wildlife enthusiasts.

I’m not an animal expert, but I’m pretty sure walking in the middle of the road is not a good idea
@Girjon05
Жыл бұрын
It isn't such a dumb idea actualy. First of all it's much easier to walk along a road than through tall grass Second is that roads aren't covered by grass and trees so the wind blows more easily, making it cooler and less insects to deal with. Third is that depending on the road, the prey animals might have a better vantage point to look out for predators. But seeing as this is a young hyena, it hasn't learned the dangers to look out for
@frankvee
Жыл бұрын
It’s not a bad idea. Easier to walk on road, more distance from possible threat since there’s no cover nearby. If walking in woods even tall grass can conceal a potential threat. Problem with this scenario is cub is young and inexperienced, and male lion is at his prime. Hyena was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

@@johnsolberg5611 Well tehcnicaly it could work. But you have to remember that some animals preffer to stay hidden while others preffer a good view. Take animals such as leopards, bushbucks, dik-diks, those are animals that rely on stealth for survival, so for them moving silently through vegetation is the preffered choice. Then are animals such as zebras, wildebeest, baboons and hyenas, those are animals that don't use stealth for survival, and they preffer to have a better view to spot threats. Of course walking through vegetation could camouflage the cub, but being a hyena, it probably isn't able to quietly move around there
That hyena probably was singing "Sweet home Alabama, where the skies are blue but then....oh shee aaah!
He protecc He atacc But most importantly He give no fucc about the snacc
The lion then brings it back to the road like he was showing it to the tourists like he's on the tourist guides payroll. 🤣🤣🤣

How far away were you when you took this footage?
And the lady was surprised as to what happened!🙄 I'm surprised she's not out there trying to pet the lion!
If that cub was with it's pack, the lion would be running for it's life.
I don't think the lion was all that hungry. Male lions kill hyenas because they prey on unguarded or wandering lion cubs. He was protecting the lion pride from possible future predation of his offspring. And outsider male lions do the same thing with other pride's lion cubs. It's a tough world out there.
That's what's happen when people interrupt nature. The cub was attracted to the car with the snobby safari people or distracted by the smell of the engine. Either way the cub wouldn't be walking right into the lion on a fucking street!
