but what would win a big fight out of a hyena, a honey badger, a wolverine, and a silverback gorilla if you put them all in a sack and threw it in a volcano?
I want to get a couple of those wild dogs and keep them as pets. They're cute!! But in the back of my mind, I would always be wondering whether they were going to eat me.
Millions of species have gone extinct since the dawn of time and yet...the world continues to spin. It would not be a "shame" if both hyenas AND wild dogs went extinct. Good reidence to these other predators that eat their pray alive in small bites starting from the rear.
Not bad footage, but what's the story with the monotone Sprinbok voiceover? Christ, can someone give him some Prozac! The guy is trying to get everyone to slit their wrists. Or maybe he's being "cool?"
Because of human disruption the African Wild Dogs' numbers have decreased drastically throughout Africa. Naturally they would hunt in packs of 20-30 but because of their declining numbers their packs are much smaller - like around 10 or so. It's a shame because their strength is supposed to be in numbers, not the power of their jaws, which obviously cannot compete with hyenas.
I love the random numbers you pulled out of your wildlife loving arse. Considering the fact the last few times I watched a show that focused on Wild Dogs or showed them as part of a documentary on some other animal they were still rolling pretty damn deep. Much deeper than 10 for sure.
@rslee81 i absolutly love these dogs, and i hope when im 18, in like 4 more years, that i could go to africa and film these creatures. but i heard that they used to range between the 40 to some outragous number! but now they are at like 10-20
I hope that works out for you, though you have very little chance doing it at 18, most people won't even think of letting you go to africa to film wild dogs until you have good qualifications in wildlife film-making and relevent work experience with good nature documentary people. If you work hard you might get out there for mid 20s but you would have to be sooo bloody lucky to do that.
@dadeskr on second thoughts you might want to specialise in directing/ producing nature docs as just being a camera man you wont get much choice as to what you film, unfortunately this is even harder to get in to, it's a much coveted career and you will need to be awesome to even stand a chance. Its like a lot of people want to act but very few make it to hollywood.
@djkaseone Hyenas, definitely. The T-Rex is extinct and hyenas can definitely break bones with their jaws. Of all the battles you could have picked...
Why do people make these assumptions like if they know the outcomes even though its never happened (at least recorded)? It's annoying! They're on every youtube video with a lion, hyena, wolf, bear, etc.
hyena vs wolf !! lol hyena will kill all the wolf that is not much . the hyenas are much biggers then wolf , the spotted hyenas are more powerful known to crush bones and are very aggresive when it come to fight for food.
there are 4 kinds of hyenas. a striped hyena might not be stronger than a wolf but spotted hyenas certainly are. though to me they dont seem as intelligent or independent as wolves
I know timber wolves are like that. But hyenas are also like that. If you've ever seen a lion killing a hyena, the hyena fights until death, even knowing it'll die anyway it still attacks.
Remember, hyenas are the only animals in africa to take on LIONS..Lions are very powerful animals. wolves take on bears, yes, but they have diff. ways of fighting..
That is not even true. The diminutive looking ratel, or Honey Badger, has been known to take on Lions and win. There are also numerous herbivores capable of killing lions: Cape Buffalo, Giraffes, Elephants, Rhinos, Oryx, Elands and Hippopotamus.
solitary cheetahs have a hunting success rate of 25% and groups of 3 have no more than 50%. leopards are hard to determine because they are extremely hard to track down but most observers agree that they aren't very successful - usually around 16%.
Don't tell me to do research you dumb noob I know what I am talking about. Leopards are the lowest ranking hunter in Africa with a 5% - 16% success ratio.
Go read some books like "Wild Cats Of the World" or "The Biology Of African Savannahs" and stop reading internet blogs.
Animal Planet and BigCatRescue websites have never said anything about leopards having a success rate of 40% you liar. Leopards OVERALL have a success rate of no more than 15% and that's a fact. I don't give a fuck about how much you love your precious leopard but the facts are that they are one of the most inefficent predators in the animal kingdom. A lone lioness can compete with a leopard.
yeah a lone lion probably can compete with a leopard because leopards only can run 40 mph and lionesses can only run around 35 mph and leopards are one of the most successful hunters in Africa and Animal Planet did say this on the most extreme you dumb ass so get some education
They say that about every predator on Animal Planet you prick. They even say tigers are one of the most successful predators in the world when in fact they're one of the least successful with a 10% hit rate.
I am not going to waste anymore of my time on your stupidity, ok? Go check out some books about leopards and then you will see how successful they are in hunting. Peace.
they had bengal tigers on the list too and the leopard was the most successful of the big cats in the genus panthera and others only beat buy the domesticated cats you idiot and all books aren't always right what did you read a five year olds book
"Microbiology of the African Savannah" by Ima Uniclops. It's not about big African animals in general, but leopards' food and bacteria/virus/protist/fungus intake is described on page 140. It says that leopards have a 399/1000 catch rate.
Schaller in 1972 observed that a single lioness has a hunting success rate of 15% and that approximately doubled when there was 2 of them. Hans Kruuk observed that 2 hyenas have a hunting success rate of 23% and that's only for wildebeest calves.
also, what's wrong with lions living in groups? it increases their chances of survival and i think it's a pretty cool lifestyle.
reason why I say that lions are not efficient hunters is because they hunt in groups. Lions adapted to social groups because of the competition in Africa (from hyenas and other predators)
No other cat in the world lives in social groups. All are solitary.
And here is fact: a single canine or hyena can outhunt any feline predator. Hyena and wolf have stamina...lions do not. Lions give up chase less than 100 yards...hyena can run for 6 miles straight till prey is exhausted
i have posted many reasons as to why the lion deserves the title "King Of Beasts". others have different views and say tigers or bears hold that title. it's ok i don't hold it against you if you think this way but most would agree that the lion IS the true King.
some say lions are not kings because they scavenege a lot. well, all animals scavenge and steal. why blame the lions only? also in the books that i read most observers say scavenging only accounts for 25% of their diet, no big deal.
a solitary lioness and a solitary hyena have a hunting success rate of 15% but the difference is that a hyena will mainly go after wildebeest calves and a lioness will go after adult wildebeest, zebras, warthogs and a large variety of prey. this is why a lioness is a superior hunter than a hyena. 2 lionesses have a hunting success rate of 30% whereas 2 hyenas have 23%(and that's for wildebeest calves only). lion prides have hunted grown elephants, hippos, rhinos, and giraffes. true killers!
My god you distort facts....well if you want to be misguided that 2 lions have a "30%" hunting rate...u can be happy in that lie.
Both lions and hyenas go for the same prey. Hyena clans can number anywhere from 5-100 strong (which adds to their intelligence).
Lions are the only social cats in the world...a freak style of living. Plus, lions do not hunt elephants on a regular basis. They hunt the weak and injured at night only (elephants have weak eye sight @ nite). Hyenas hunt baby elephants
No uglyguy you are wrong hyenas are one of the most successful carnivores on the earth........ and most certinly in Africa this is fact not opinion stated by Sir David Attenbrogh himself.
wow if you are going to tell me something then reply to me instead of just leaving a comment on the page, that way i know that someone has said something to me. but yeah i do agree that hyenas are one of the top predators in Africa but i would not consider them the ULTIMATE predator. according to some of the books that i read hyenas on average are only 5% at the most more successful on hunts than lions, and 1 of the main reasons is that they choose the smallest and weakest prey out of a herd.
Do you honestly believe that hyenas go only for the weak and young prey while lions go for the healthy adult prey? Your assessment is totally wrong.
U can think that lion is the "ultimate predator", which if looked by facts, is totally wrong. Their hunting strategies and success are low. Only super large prides (over 15 lions) can kill a subadult elephant.
When u look at facts, consider this...the hyenas account for 50% of ALL kills made in Africa. That alone tells u hyenas r killing machine
hyenas do also hunt hunt healthy adult prey but they prefer to mainly hunt down the weakest and slowest out of a herd. they are opportunistic hunters.
30% overall hunting success rate isn't that low. it's higher than that of wolves, tigers, leopards, cheetahs(not when there is 3 of them), and more. also, if you only count night-hunts lions have a hunting success rate over 40%.
lions mainly prefer to hunt young elephant calves but have hunted adults on more than 1 occasion.
Ugly, do you agree that wild dogs have atleast a 75% hunting success rate? If you do, then how can your sources claim that hyenas and wolves have less than a 35% hunting rate? If anything, hyenas are stronger than wild dogs, have more stamina and have pack coordination. Hyenas mimic canine hunting kills. Many experts have named hyenas the 2nd most successful hunter (after wild dogs) in Africa.
wild dogs have a hunting success rate between 50 and 70% according to my sources.
hyenas are known to have a hunting success rates above 60% in some areas but not all. same as lion who have a hunting success rate over 50% in areas with tall grasses.
my guess is different regions have an effect hunting success rates. if hyenas are the 2nd most successful hunter in Africa then lions would be 3rd because they are known to exceed 50%.
Hyenas do not have the stamina of a wild dog. Wild dogs and wolves have been known to chase their prey for miles. They are smaller, lighter, and have better stamina due to it. Hyena aren't slouches, but they don't have the stamina of the other canines.
i do know that lions steal more often from hyenas than the other way around. what makes you think i didn't?
and the title "King" definitely belongs to the lion for the reasons i have stated earlier, which you have obviously ignored. a tiger is not a more efficient hunter even than a single lioness. tigers have a hunting success rate of 10% whereas a single lioness has 15%. an entire lion pride has 30 to 32%.
You ignore the clear cut fact that I stated that a polar bear often hunts beluga whales. It also hunts sea lions and a polar bear is a mighty swimmer.
On average, a polar bear weighs 900 lbs. It is much much stronger and heavier than a lion.
So you can think lion is "king"...I do not. Lion is not the ultimate african predator because it gets outcompeted by hyenas and scavenges off of hyenas.
The King of Beast is the Polar Bear, who can kill any land predator 1 on 1
listen, you believe your sources and i will believe mine - like you said. from the information i obtained, hyenas do not outcompete lions when it comes to hunting, their success rates are pretty similar.
i do believe that the lion is king and truly deserves that title. you can believe that the polar bear deserves it.
You would be surprised that lions scavenge off of hyena kills more than hyenas scavenge from lions. Reason is because hyenas are efficient hunters, with pack coordination and stamina, and hyenas account for 50% of ALL kills made in Africa.
And the title of "King" given to the lion is false. Lion cannot hunt or fight efficiently as tiger or grizzly/polar bear can.
A polar bear, on it's own, can kill a beluga whale (2 ton mammal). A polar bear or grizzly bear will tear a lion to shreds
"Hyenas typical prey species are gazelle, water buffalo, zebra, warthog, young giraffe, rhinoceros, and hippopotamus. However, they have been observed feeding on a wide variety of prey, including mammals, birds, fish and reptiles. Spotted hyenas have been known to kill and scavenge off of domestic livestock, such as cattle, sheep, horses, donkeys, camels. They can feed on carrion, as most predatory species do, but it only makes up less than 5% of their total diet."
the average hunting success rate of spotted hyenas is NOT 65%. it is stated in a book called "primates predators and human evolution" that it is actually 35%. that is only 3 to 5% higher than that of lions. also if you only count the hunting success rate of lions at night it is over 40%. stated in the book "The Serengeti Lion".
Dude, you are twisting facts. I know more about lions and hyenas than u think. Hyena is an strong predator, with a heart 2 times larger than a lion. They have stamina and jaw power.
A single hyena can take down a wildebeest. /watch?v=0KBbN5z5nTE
Now, u can think hyenas hunting rate is 35%. That is wrong! According to "Spotted Hyena, Social Behavior and Predation" by Haans Kruux, he has witnessed Spotted Hyenas in a group hunting zebras and wildbeest and succeeding in the kill 65% of the time
listen, i am not going to try and shove my information down your throat. you don't have to believe what i am saying if you don't want to. i got my information from a book called "man the hunted - primates, predators, and human evolution" and it is said that the OVERALL hunting success rate of hyenas is 35%.
the 65% hunting success rate only came from the few hunts that Kruux estimated, it is not the overall hunting success rate.
what is the basis of the 35% hunt rate from "man the hunted-primates, predators and human evolution"?
How do the authors of that textbook know the hunting rate of hyenas if they did not personally observe hyenas hunting?
And as for Dr. Kruux, well, he has studied African Predators for 20 yrs. He has lived in Africa. His work is respected by experts such as Dr. Holekamp, Dr. Schaller, Dr. Frank and Dr. Voulghner (author of "predators at peril")
cheetahs and wild dogs do not hunt the same type of prey species as hyenas and lions do. Cheetah main prey is gazelle and wild dog prey r small ungulates.
Lions & Hyenas hunt the same prey. Plus, hyenas do hunt the young of elephants, rhinos, hippos and giraffes. I have read from Hans Kruux that hyenas are the 2nd most efficient predator in Africa. Their hunt success (as a group) is 65%. Hyenas are the most abundant predator in Africa AND hyenas account for 50% of ALL kills made in Africa.
hyenas rarely hunt adult buffalo even as packs. their main prey are grown wildebeest and zebra when hunting in packs and wildebeest calves when hunting solitary. just because a hyena killed a bull wildebeest on its own once that doesn't that it can always do it. a lone male lion was observed killing a giraffe bull on his own but that doesn't mean he can do that constantly.
watch?v=A8HF_C_ollc
a grown wildebeest is usually too much for a solitary hyena just like a giraffe is for a lion.
oh mosharma i also forgot to mention that 2-3 hyenas do not succeed 45% of the time. lol that is an extreme exaggeration. for wildebeest calves only 1 hyena has a 15% hunting success rate, 2 hyenas have a 23%, and 3 hyenas have a 31%.
I don't know where you are getting your information from. Yet, I cannot argue.
From what I have read from experts (such as Dr. Kruux, Dr. Holekamp, Dr. Frank, etc), hyenas are the 2nd most successful predator in Africa (hunting wise) after the wild dog.
Also, I have seen pics of a single hyena taking down a bull wildebeest by jaw power alone. You can google it.
Lastly, an interesting fact is that Hyenas account for 50% of ALL kills made in Africa. Hyenas are a ruthless hunting machine
according to the book "Sernegeti" by A.R.E Sinclair and M. Norton Griffiths solitary hyenas usually go after wildebeest calves and only catch them 15% of the time. the reason it's so low is because the mother is usually there to protect it. 1 hyena can't take on a wildebeest face to face. however when there is a pack of 10 to 15 hyenas they can catch wildebeest calves 74% of the time. this is because some hyenas keep the mother isolated while others take down the calf.
Ugly, 10-15 hyenas are enough to take down a bull buffalo...so wildebeest calf is a mere easy game.
Now I agree with you that hyenas isolate their prey and pick the easy target. But the potential of a single hyena is tremendous. Single hyena have been observed killing bull wildebeest alone.
Also, we all know that hyenas have incredible stamina, jaw power and intelligence. The intelligence of hyena (social order) rivals old primates. Plus hyena jaw power is strongest of land mammals
Hyenas have been known to injure lionesses, subadult lions, bachelor lions, cubs and old lions.
There is also a report from Haans Kruux where 5 hyenas killed a male lion.
So lions are NOT free from the terror of hyenas...fact is Hyenas are Africa's Ultimate Predator...no other predator can match its tenacity, pack coordination, stamina, jaw power and overall killing spree
hyenas are not africa's ultimate predator in my opinion. 1 lioness is a more efficient hunter than a tiger, a wolf pack, and is on par with a leopard. 2 lionesses have a hunting success of 30% which is even higher than a coalition of 2 cheetahs. at night-time alone a typical lion pride has a hunting success rate of over 40%. lions have also been known to hunt down adult elephants, hippos, and giraffes more than once. so lions are the ultimate predators of Africa and the lion is deifnitely king.
A single hyena has a 15% hunting success rate. Lions (in a group) have a 25% rate. 2-3 hyenas have a 45% hunting rate. The more hyenas, the greater the hunt.
Lions, as a group, are horrible hunters. Lions cannot match other pack animals such as wild dogs, hyenas or wolves. Lions do not have stamina as hyena.
What a lion can hunt, so can hyenas. A single hyena can take down a wildebeest by jaw alone. Hyena have better hunt even though hyenas do not use paws as lions do. Hyena got intelligence
no 2 lionesses have a hunting success rate of 30%, and an entire lion pride has a little bit higher than that at around 33%. at night time only an entire lion pride usually has a hunting success rate of over 40%. tigers and wolves have a hunting success rate of only 10%, which is bad. most observers aren't sure about leopards but it is agreed that they aren't very efficient and are at around 16%. 1 hyena usually goes after wildebeest claves and only succeeds 15% of the time.
-A single tiger has a better hunting % than a single lion
-Wolves, as a pack, are much better hunters than lion prides
-A single hyena can hunt down a bull wildebeest on it's own. It's a fact. A single hyena can have a successful hunt 15% of the time (which is higher than a single lion). Hyenas do not use paws like lions do...only jaw power. Hyena jaw is much stronger than lion.
i went to Google - Books and looked it up. wolves and tigers are said to only be successful 10% of the time, you can look it up too if you want. a single lioness has a 15% hunting success rate and 30% when there is 2 of them. a single hyena will usually go after wildebeest calves and only succeed 15% of the time because the mother is protecting it. when hyenas are in packs they can catch wildebeest calves over 70% of the time. of all animals though hyenas only have a 35% hunting success rate.

hyena vs wolf !! lol hyena will kill all the wolf that is not much . the hyenas are much biggers then wolf , the spotted hyenas are more powerful known to crush bones and are very aggresive when it come to fight for food.

I know timber wolves are like that. But hyenas are also like that. If you've ever seen a lion killing a hyena, the hyena fights until death, even knowing it'll die anyway it still attacks.
Remember, hyenas are the only animals in africa to take on LIONS..Lions are very powerful animals. wolves take on bears, yes, but they have diff. ways of fighting..
xXKyoushiroXx 2 years ago
That is not even true. The diminutive looking ratel, or Honey Badger, has been known to take on Lions and win. There are also numerous herbivores capable of killing lions: Cape Buffalo, Giraffes, Elephants, Rhinos, Oryx, Elands and Hippopotamus.

also, lions are not the only social cats in the world. cheetahs are known to hunt and live as a trio.
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
solitary cheetahs have a hunting success rate of 25% and groups of 3 have no more than 50%. leopards are hard to determine because they are extremely hard to track down but most observers agree that they aren't very successful - usually around 16%.
so the list goes like this:
1. wild dogs
2. hyenas
3. lions
4. cheetahs
5. leopards
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
leopards are around 35 to 40% successful possibly 45% successful

Uhh no threy're not. Leopards are the least successful hunter in Africa. Expert observers agree that their success rate is usually around 15%.

Don't tell me to do research you dumb noob I know what I am talking about. Leopards are the lowest ranking hunter in Africa with a 5% - 16% success ratio.

hickmantaylor 2 years ago
Animal Planet and BigCatRescue websites have never said anything about leopards having a success rate of 40% you liar. Leopards OVERALL have a success rate of no more than 15% and that's a fact. I don't give a fuck about how much you love your precious leopard but the facts are that they are one of the most inefficent predators in the animal kingdom. A lone lioness can compete with a leopard.
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
yeah a lone lion probably can compete with a leopard because leopards only can run 40 mph and lionesses can only run around 35 mph and leopards are one of the most successful hunters in Africa and Animal Planet did say this on the most extreme you dumb ass so get some education
hickmantaylor 2 years ago
They say that about every predator on Animal Planet you prick. They even say tigers are one of the most successful predators in the world when in fact they're one of the least successful with a 10% hit rate.
I am not going to waste anymore of my time on your stupidity, ok? Go check out some books about leopards and then you will see how successful they are in hunting. Peace.

"Microbiology of the African Savannah" by Ima Uniclops. It's not about big African animals in general, but leopards' food and bacteria/virus/protist/fungus intake is described on page 140. It says that leopards have a 399/1000 catch rate.
Nikifuj908 2 years ago
Schaller in 1972 observed that a single lioness has a hunting success rate of 15% and that approximately doubled when there was 2 of them. Hans Kruuk observed that 2 hyenas have a hunting success rate of 23% and that's only for wildebeest calves.
also, what's wrong with lions living in groups? it increases their chances of survival and i think it's a pretty cool lifestyle.
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
reason why I say that lions are not efficient hunters is because they hunt in groups. Lions adapted to social groups because of the competition in Africa (from hyenas and other predators)
No other cat in the world lives in social groups. All are solitary.
And here is fact: a single canine or hyena can outhunt any feline predator. Hyena and wolf have stamina...lions do not. Lions give up chase less than 100 yards...hyena can run for 6 miles straight till prey is exhausted

i have posted many reasons as to why the lion deserves the title "King Of Beasts". others have different views and say tigers or bears hold that title. it's ok i don't hold it against you if you think this way but most would agree that the lion IS the true King.
some say lions are not kings because they scavenege a lot. well, all animals scavenge and steal. why blame the lions only? also in the books that i read most observers say scavenging only accounts for 25% of their diet, no big deal.
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
a solitary lioness and a solitary hyena have a hunting success rate of 15% but the difference is that a hyena will mainly go after wildebeest calves and a lioness will go after adult wildebeest, zebras, warthogs and a large variety of prey. this is why a lioness is a superior hunter than a hyena. 2 lionesses have a hunting success rate of 30% whereas 2 hyenas have 23%(and that's for wildebeest calves only). lion prides have hunted grown elephants, hippos, rhinos, and giraffes. true killers!
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
My god you distort facts....well if you want to be misguided that 2 lions have a "30%" hunting rate...u can be happy in that lie.
Both lions and hyenas go for the same prey. Hyena clans can number anywhere from 5-100 strong (which adds to their intelligence).
Lions are the only social cats in the world...a freak style of living. Plus, lions do not hunt elephants on a regular basis. They hunt the weak and injured at night only (elephants have weak eye sight @ nite). Hyenas hunt baby elephants

arnie157 2 years ago
wow if you are going to tell me something then reply to me instead of just leaving a comment on the page, that way i know that someone has said something to me. but yeah i do agree that hyenas are one of the top predators in Africa but i would not consider them the ULTIMATE predator. according to some of the books that i read hyenas on average are only 5% at the most more successful on hunts than lions, and 1 of the main reasons is that they choose the smallest and weakest prey out of a herd.
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
Do you honestly believe that hyenas go only for the weak and young prey while lions go for the healthy adult prey? Your assessment is totally wrong.
U can think that lion is the "ultimate predator", which if looked by facts, is totally wrong. Their hunting strategies and success are low. Only super large prides (over 15 lions) can kill a subadult elephant.
When u look at facts, consider this...the hyenas account for 50% of ALL kills made in Africa. That alone tells u hyenas r killing machine
mosharma134 2 years ago
hyenas do also hunt hunt healthy adult prey but they prefer to mainly hunt down the weakest and slowest out of a herd. they are opportunistic hunters.
30% overall hunting success rate isn't that low. it's higher than that of wolves, tigers, leopards, cheetahs(not when there is 3 of them), and more. also, if you only count night-hunts lions have a hunting success rate over 40%.
lions mainly prefer to hunt young elephant calves but have hunted adults on more than 1 occasion.
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
Ugly, do you agree that wild dogs have atleast a 75% hunting success rate? If you do, then how can your sources claim that hyenas and wolves have less than a 35% hunting rate? If anything, hyenas are stronger than wild dogs, have more stamina and have pack coordination. Hyenas mimic canine hunting kills. Many experts have named hyenas the 2nd most successful hunter (after wild dogs) in Africa.
mosharma134 2 years ago
wild dogs have a hunting success rate between 50 and 70% according to my sources.
hyenas are known to have a hunting success rates above 60% in some areas but not all. same as lion who have a hunting success rate over 50% in areas with tall grasses.
my guess is different regions have an effect hunting success rates. if hyenas are the 2nd most successful hunter in Africa then lions would be 3rd because they are known to exceed 50%.
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
Hyenas do not have the stamina of a wild dog. Wild dogs and wolves have been known to chase their prey for miles. They are smaller, lighter, and have better stamina due to it. Hyena aren't slouches, but they don't have the stamina of the other canines.
apharot 2 years ago
i do know that lions steal more often from hyenas than the other way around. what makes you think i didn't?
and the title "King" definitely belongs to the lion for the reasons i have stated earlier, which you have obviously ignored. a tiger is not a more efficient hunter even than a single lioness. tigers have a hunting success rate of 10% whereas a single lioness has 15%. an entire lion pride has 30 to 32%.
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
You ignore the clear cut fact that I stated that a polar bear often hunts beluga whales. It also hunts sea lions and a polar bear is a mighty swimmer.
On average, a polar bear weighs 900 lbs. It is much much stronger and heavier than a lion.
So you can think lion is "king"...I do not. Lion is not the ultimate african predator because it gets outcompeted by hyenas and scavenges off of hyenas.
The King of Beast is the Polar Bear, who can kill any land predator 1 on 1
mosharma134 2 years ago
listen, you believe your sources and i will believe mine - like you said. from the information i obtained, hyenas do not outcompete lions when it comes to hunting, their success rates are pretty similar.
i do believe that the lion is king and truly deserves that title. you can believe that the polar bear deserves it.
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
You would be surprised that lions scavenge off of hyena kills more than hyenas scavenge from lions. Reason is because hyenas are efficient hunters, with pack coordination and stamina, and hyenas account for 50% of ALL kills made in Africa.
And the title of "King" given to the lion is false. Lion cannot hunt or fight efficiently as tiger or grizzly/polar bear can.
A polar bear, on it's own, can kill a beluga whale (2 ton mammal). A polar bear or grizzly bear will tear a lion to shreds
mosharma134 2 years ago
According to site lioncrusher
"Hyenas typical prey species are gazelle, water buffalo, zebra, warthog, young giraffe, rhinoceros, and hippopotamus. However, they have been observed feeding on a wide variety of prey, including mammals, birds, fish and reptiles. Spotted hyenas have been known to kill and scavenge off of domestic livestock, such as cattle, sheep, horses, donkeys, camels. They can feed on carrion, as most predatory species do, but it only makes up less than 5% of their total diet."
mosharma134 2 years ago
the average hunting success rate of spotted hyenas is NOT 65%. it is stated in a book called "primates predators and human evolution" that it is actually 35%. that is only 3 to 5% higher than that of lions. also if you only count the hunting success rate of lions at night it is over 40%. stated in the book "The Serengeti Lion".
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
Dude, you are twisting facts. I know more about lions and hyenas than u think. Hyena is an strong predator, with a heart 2 times larger than a lion. They have stamina and jaw power.
A single hyena can take down a wildebeest. /watch?v=0KBbN5z5nTE
Now, u can think hyenas hunting rate is 35%. That is wrong! According to "Spotted Hyena, Social Behavior and Predation" by Haans Kruux, he has witnessed Spotted Hyenas in a group hunting zebras and wildbeest and succeeding in the kill 65% of the time
mosharma134 2 years ago
listen, i am not going to try and shove my information down your throat. you don't have to believe what i am saying if you don't want to. i got my information from a book called "man the hunted - primates, predators, and human evolution" and it is said that the OVERALL hunting success rate of hyenas is 35%.
the 65% hunting success rate only came from the few hunts that Kruux estimated, it is not the overall hunting success rate.
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
what is the basis of the 35% hunt rate from "man the hunted-primates, predators and human evolution"?
How do the authors of that textbook know the hunting rate of hyenas if they did not personally observe hyenas hunting?
And as for Dr. Kruux, well, he has studied African Predators for 20 yrs. He has lived in Africa. His work is respected by experts such as Dr. Holekamp, Dr. Schaller, Dr. Frank and Dr. Voulghner (author of "predators at peril")
u can believe yo sources, I will believe mine
mosharma134 2 years ago
cheetahs and wild dogs do not hunt the same type of prey species as hyenas and lions do. Cheetah main prey is gazelle and wild dog prey r small ungulates.
Lions & Hyenas hunt the same prey. Plus, hyenas do hunt the young of elephants, rhinos, hippos and giraffes. I have read from Hans Kruux that hyenas are the 2nd most efficient predator in Africa. Their hunt success (as a group) is 65%. Hyenas are the most abundant predator in Africa AND hyenas account for 50% of ALL kills made in Africa.
mosharma134 2 years ago
hyenas rarely hunt adult buffalo even as packs. their main prey are grown wildebeest and zebra when hunting in packs and wildebeest calves when hunting solitary. just because a hyena killed a bull wildebeest on its own once that doesn't that it can always do it. a lone male lion was observed killing a giraffe bull on his own but that doesn't mean he can do that constantly.
watch?v=A8HF_C_ollc
a grown wildebeest is usually too much for a solitary hyena just like a giraffe is for a lion.

oh mosharma i also forgot to mention that 2-3 hyenas do not succeed 45% of the time. lol that is an extreme exaggeration. for wildebeest calves only 1 hyena has a 15% hunting success rate, 2 hyenas have a 23%, and 3 hyenas have a 31%.
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
I don't know where you are getting your information from. Yet, I cannot argue.
From what I have read from experts (such as Dr. Kruux, Dr. Holekamp, Dr. Frank, etc), hyenas are the 2nd most successful predator in Africa (hunting wise) after the wild dog.
Also, I have seen pics of a single hyena taking down a bull wildebeest by jaw power alone. You can google it.
Lastly, an interesting fact is that Hyenas account for 50% of ALL kills made in Africa. Hyenas are a ruthless hunting machine
mosharma134 2 years ago
according to the book "Sernegeti" by A.R.E Sinclair and M. Norton Griffiths solitary hyenas usually go after wildebeest calves and only catch them 15% of the time. the reason it's so low is because the mother is usually there to protect it. 1 hyena can't take on a wildebeest face to face. however when there is a pack of 10 to 15 hyenas they can catch wildebeest calves 74% of the time. this is because some hyenas keep the mother isolated while others take down the calf.
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
Ugly, 10-15 hyenas are enough to take down a bull buffalo...so wildebeest calf is a mere easy game.
Now I agree with you that hyenas isolate their prey and pick the easy target. But the potential of a single hyena is tremendous. Single hyena have been observed killing bull wildebeest alone.
Also, we all know that hyenas have incredible stamina, jaw power and intelligence. The intelligence of hyena (social order) rivals old primates. Plus hyena jaw power is strongest of land mammals
mosharma134 2 years ago
Hyenas have been known to injure lionesses, subadult lions, bachelor lions, cubs and old lions.
There is also a report from Haans Kruux where 5 hyenas killed a male lion.
So lions are NOT free from the terror of hyenas...fact is Hyenas are Africa's Ultimate Predator...no other predator can match its tenacity, pack coordination, stamina, jaw power and overall killing spree
mosharma134 2 years ago
hyenas are not africa's ultimate predator in my opinion. 1 lioness is a more efficient hunter than a tiger, a wolf pack, and is on par with a leopard. 2 lionesses have a hunting success of 30% which is even higher than a coalition of 2 cheetahs. at night-time alone a typical lion pride has a hunting success rate of over 40%. lions have also been known to hunt down adult elephants, hippos, and giraffes more than once. so lions are the ultimate predators of Africa and the lion is deifnitely king.
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
A single hyena has a 15% hunting success rate. Lions (in a group) have a 25% rate. 2-3 hyenas have a 45% hunting rate. The more hyenas, the greater the hunt.
Lions, as a group, are horrible hunters. Lions cannot match other pack animals such as wild dogs, hyenas or wolves. Lions do not have stamina as hyena.
What a lion can hunt, so can hyenas. A single hyena can take down a wildebeest by jaw alone. Hyena have better hunt even though hyenas do not use paws as lions do. Hyena got intelligence
mosharma134 2 years ago
no 2 lionesses have a hunting success rate of 30%, and an entire lion pride has a little bit higher than that at around 33%. at night time only an entire lion pride usually has a hunting success rate of over 40%. tigers and wolves have a hunting success rate of only 10%, which is bad. most observers aren't sure about leopards but it is agreed that they aren't very efficient and are at around 16%. 1 hyena usually goes after wildebeest claves and only succeeds 15% of the time.
uglyguy121808 2 years ago
ugly u r wrong on many aspects...
-A single tiger has a better hunting % than a single lion
-Wolves, as a pack, are much better hunters than lion prides
-A single hyena can hunt down a bull wildebeest on it's own. It's a fact. A single hyena can have a successful hunt 15% of the time (which is higher than a single lion). Hyenas do not use paws like lions do...only jaw power. Hyena jaw is much stronger than lion.
mosharma134 2 years ago
i went to Google - Books and looked it up. wolves and tigers are said to only be successful 10% of the time, you can look it up too if you want. a single lioness has a 15% hunting success rate and 30% when there is 2 of them. a single hyena will usually go after wildebeest calves and only succeed 15% of the time because the mother is protecting it. when hyenas are in packs they can catch wildebeest calves over 70% of the time. of all animals though hyenas only have a 35% hunting success rate.
