Great footage and interaction! Those young males stood their ground through they still looked very young. They all stood their ground and showed no fear. The hyenas did not have the numbers but it would have been interesting to see how the youngsters would have fared if a battle broke out. Their strength and aggression will grow as they come of age.
That young adolecence male lion is showing no fear of hyenas and willingness to confront them head on. Once he fully grows up he will be a nightmare for hyenas just like Ntwadumela. His hatred for hyenas have begun and starting to show signs of what male lion do best. Protect the pride.
With lions and hyenas, it’s all about confidence and the will to win. Most of the time, a single lioness has enough confidence to keep at least 6 hyenas at bay for a while. But if the hyenas are willing to win and risk injury, they’ll swarm en masse.
The lion still feasting looks like a juvenile male. But also looks like a lioness. Amazing how he/she communicated/called to the other lions (young and old) leaving the kill to return to handle the hyenas while he continue to feast.
Hyenas tactics: encircle, whine, howl, pester, mob and harass, all the time trying to distract and isolate several of the lionesses. However, on this occasion, there were too many lionesses to intimidate, and so reluctantly they had to retreat empty handed!
This is exactly why lion prides need to expand. The more the better. I've noticed when there's only 2 or 3 lions and a bunch of hyenas there able to take away their food but when it's several female lions and one male or 2 it's game over for the hyenas.
Hyenas are more brave than the lions !!! To take on something twice your size is impressive ! They dont back down, they just try to wear the lions down and it works.
They're not even close to more brave. It takes large numbers of heyenas for them to even be willing to get close to lions. On top of that they have huge bite strength, but most importantly they're pretty fast and and can easily out-endurance a lion if they have to run away. If they get caught that's one thing but if it comes down to a longer race the heyenas endurance far exceeds the lions'.
They are just brave when they outnumbered the lions. But when the numbers are almost the same just like in this video. Hyenas won't dare. There's no pride male here just lioness and young males.
That incridible view over here group of hyena as well as lion group front each other. At this moment lions look like strong then hyenas. if one two lione heaving the meal so hyena snatches away easily lion food.
after Milk teeth gone Male lions literally Transcends to different level . Badgers etc. toughest but Hyenas r second to none pound by pound in toughness, size , power ,camaraderie . The respect that they give to male lions speaks volume abt the King & it's eternal Foe.
David Filipović but you claim hyenas are better hunters than lions, so size shouldn't matter. I have seen videos where just 2 lionesses take down a water buffalo. 5 take down a giraffe. This is what real hunters do. Not stand around crying for scarps.
@@dinovespucci8752 real hunters are Hyenas, just as Lions are real hunters....only humans hide in bushes from far away like cowards and act like hunters with their rifles from long distance.
Terrence lmao. If they are badasses why didn't they just stand their ground? If they are such great hunters, why didn't they just kill those lionesses? Hyenas are only tough when they out number animals 10 to 1.
To all you wannabe "photographers: Please turn off the fake noise in your digital camera that sounds like the shutter in a film camera. You're not fooling anyone, but you are annoying them! REAL photographers started turning it off back around the year 2,000 when I was still shooting weddings. There's nothing worse than hearing that annoying clicking in a dead silent church, when everyone is supposed to be either praying or listening to the wedding vows. You'll also never hear a REAL wildlife photographer "clicking" from inside his hide after he spent days waiting in it.
Hyenas scatter when a male shows up because all lioness PLUS the male lion would outweigh their odds and cause them to lose some members. It isn't a fair fight. That's why hyenas retreat and try again another time. If it's a single male by himself without a whole pride, a small clan can overpower him.
Unfortunately can't happen because they have a huge respect on him, still on their genes fear a male lion, with whole pack they never will attack him, let alone him with females, if nature decide that the male lion is the alpha predator there is reason.
Chris Champion I’d still back the lions to win that stand off in a real life setting. There’s a clip of 3 lionesses with about 20 hyenas and even then they’re more than holding their own. Male comes in and chases everyone off the kill. Hypothetical fight to the death the weight of numbers would win at at some point (though not going to bother guessing what that would be!)
Teamwork is very important. I wish God to create Teamwork in Leopards 🐆 like lions. I like that cat. I'm always worried when it's attacked by hyenas and forcefully take its food.
li li they don't have to, they just turn and look at them and the hyenas run. And really what did you just watched. The useless hyenas know they can't bully that many lionesses. They just stand in the background and wait for a moment to steal a bite. I heard hyenas are better hunters than lions, so what happened here?
Un combat est un affrontement entre les lionnes et les hynes et ce sont toujours ces dernières qui gagnent même si les premières sont supérieures numeriquement
