And to Danni, you do not realize how much of a fool you are to attribute the trait of being 'honorable' to an animal. Do you think such a trait exists in the animal kingdom? Do you then find Lions to be 'honorable,' where a male would come and take his lioness's kills for himself? Lions and hyenas are both remarkable creatures, and we would be doing them a great disservice if we assessed them using human standards.
What is interesting is the existence of a society amongst hyenas. And perhaps even more remarkable is that it is a matriarchal society, in which the lowest female is considered higher than the highest male. It is, like most primate cultures (including ours), made up of different tiers and rank. Does anyone realize how amazing this is?
Musclebe shut the hell up and do some research. Female hyenas have enlarged clitori, meaning it looks like a penis but does everything that female urogenital systems do. And hyenas do not pee out of their butts. Those are anal secretions used to mark their territory, not piss.

People who are supporting hyena's are most likely to be feminists. In hyena society females dominate males - that is the exactly reason why feminists like hyenas and endow them with non-existent qualities. Also feminists are good at spreading lies.
Actually hyenas discourage incest by forcing males born in the clan to leave. Also hyena genitalia look alike throughout their lives - not just when they're cubs.

Um, yeah, tell that to those couple of hyenas on National Geographic that were screwing each other. And also, they were BROTHER and SISTER. Frankly, hyenas are disgusting little weasels and there's barely anything most people can say that will change my mind.
I said they discouraged it, not prevented it all together.
Frankly, weasels are actually pretty darn cute, which is besides the point. Anyway hyenas are often only disgusting to those who misunderstand them. Mind you the media likes to stereotype and leave out vital chunks of info, as well as endorse lies that would make for an interesting story. I.E. the mangy, diseased scavenger image still perpetuated today.
WHY can I never reply to a comment? Anywho, as a disclaimer I'd like to state that I am not suggesting that National Geographic lied about the incest thing. k.
Look, I like animals. Actually, hyenas are prety good subjects for my drawings. But I do my research. And overall, hyenas aren't the most cuddliest or most honorable mammals I've seen. Not even close. Everyday weasels, on the other hand, can be cute. But not these things. Let's face it: hyenas do make for pretty good "villains" of the animal kingdom, wherther 'the media' portrays them as such or not.
hyenas are absolutely the most misunderstood animals of Africa, lions actually have a natural fear of them...just imagine hearing that evil laugh surrounding you and taunting you as you try and run away, lions very well know what hyenas are capable of, and because of that they keep their distance
Wow please do some research before you accuse them of being scavengers. In fact hyenas do more hunting than lions do. Lions scavenge more kills than hyenas do.
Keep checking google. You have to look page after page and gather the info. I have a feeling Michael Crichton was making a reference to these apes when he wrote CONGO.
People think that Hyenas have no chance, ability wise they are more than capable of killing any land Animal on this earth thx to their huge Clans, their extremly powerfull jaws and decent size.
But they are very shy of fighting and they rarely need to fight because of their Intimidation with Numbers... they will extremly rarely fight Male Lions, even tho it can happen.
You can read on Hans Kruuks Hyena book the reports of how 6 Hyenas chased of a Male Lion and almost killed it...
So you see, if 6 Hyenas can chase of and almost kill a healthy Prime Male Lion... then it means that ABILITY wise even less than 6 is required to do the job. People should not get fooled... just because Hyenas are so defensive and shy, that they dont fight and respect Male Lions doesnt mean they cant do it... For those of you who doesnt believe it can happen, then once again i say read Hans Kruuks Book, there u will read how Hyenas kill / chase Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, Wild Dogs...
There are two species of animals that actually hunt and eat lions:
a)crocodile
b) Bondo Ape (scientists recently verified its existance after many years of rumours of giant chimps which kill lions and leopards. It has been photographed from a distance but not properly documented as yet)
Sure, you can go and try to kill the hyenas, but don't forget that hyenas fight back and have bone crushing jaws than can break elephant bones. You being a lion and trying to kill hyenas is complete retarded and suicidal.
Actually hyenas are very rather skilled hunters, having a significantlly higher sucess rate then lions, who more often then not scavenge from other predators of Africa, including hyenas.
And many predators will scavenge, which is actually necessary. Not just hyenas.
THANK YOU! damn what is with every one jumping hyenas? persoanly i like hyenas i think there cool. lions... i dont see how they got such a great repuation
No actually, hyenas are far superior predators than lions are and lions scavenge from hyenas more that hyenas scavenge from lions. Often what looks like hyenas scavenging is just them trying to get their well earned kill back. Infact the only animals that are more successful hunters in Africa than hyenas are not a big cat but the African Wild Dog and they hunt so well they all but never scavenge.
Ive seen this entire documentary, this Lioness was injured by another Pack of Lionesses, they left her and then the Hyenas finished of her misery and later started to eat her and leave nothing left...
Going by the narration the other pack tormented her for almost the whole night and she died of her wounds. The hyena was just on garbage disposal duty
I think I remember seeing this. I think the lioness and her cubs were bit by a cobra. The cubs died right away and the mom wandered into sum brush and finally died as night fell.
HYENAS are cool they may be savages some pepole say they anit dogs but atleast they anit cats and they have one of the strongest bites by a mamal next to a hippo
Niiice love it when the Hyena's get a place in the spotlight too^^ don't get me wrong i don't enjoy lionesses getting eaten, but i hate people that's all like: Hyena = Living Trash and blah blah buuh
Does anyone know what documentary this is from? Thanks!
