  • If there's such thing as "evil" in the animal kingdom, hyenas are deserving candidates. I love watching videos of big male lions jumping on a pesky hyena. If they were native to my part of the world, I'd do my best to hunt them to extinction. Oh well, as long as they don't come here, I'll stay out of Africa. I sure wish that would work for all these stinking temporary workers from Sudan.

  • @cypresscoach Wow!

    Racism and a loopy bias toward an animal.

    And in one post too.

  • hyenas have over 1000 lbs per bite

  • HYENAS ARE VERY INTRESTING TO WATCH

  • Oops Spelling error

  • Jackal: hey how are you Hyena I notched you were---

  • Hyena are very interesting and VERY efficient. Why do you think their poo is white?. It's because they only leave the bones.

  • @halflife103 white poo is from eating the calcium in the bones i believe.

  • @briczar22 i know that... im looking at my comment and thinking why i typed that. I know i have a bad memory and Dyslexia but usually i never make mistakes like THAT XD

  • Comment removed

  • Maybe people hate hyenas because of their tendency to not bother to kill their prey as they eat it alive. They don't even try to kill 'em. It's like a sick horror movie.

  • @ThatguyNice Well, they aren't the only animals who practice it. Besides, how can they kill their prey instantly if they aren't evolved that way? They don't have long fangs like the big cats have, so how?

  • hyenas are also viewed as evil omen and evil creatures.

  • Thank you for the video! Hyenas definitely need better PR. They're a bizarre, intelligent, complex animal -- and while I love all of Africa's predators --I I think the spotted hyena is my favorite.

  • I think the hyena is a very cool animal myself.....fuckin hooligans of the animal kingdom

  • I dont get it Hyenas are perfectly strong and unrespected 1 of my fav. animals show more respect!!!

  • truley gorgeus yet amazing species

  • i love hyenas i think theyre so cute.

    it kinda sucks that the females often have penis-like genitals, which cause them to have trouble birthing their pups, and sometimes dying from it. =(

  • @Emodnet Hyenas are the ugliest animals next to monkeys, but they've got an evil look, which I like.

  • @ma8740 i dont think hyenas are ugly at all, and most monkeys are cute too. its the apes that i think are super ugly, with the exception of gorillas who to me or ok

  • @Emodnet Chimpanzees are cute sometimes, but monkeys are just a menace; If they get in into some residential area, they just drive people mad and they play really irritating pranks; I have faced this menace, they seem to come out of nowhere. because of that I don't really love this animal, but I respect hyenas for being scavengers; All scavengers are ugly but they are doing a good job.

  • @ma8740 ya i do know that monkeys can be tricksters, but they can also be very sweet.

  • @Emodnet In Indian villages Monkeys are real menace; But the best part is they ride on cattle, they ride on goats and beat the shit shit out of them; that is something which I've seen and it is the funnier side of their pranks.

  • @ma8740 you should take pics of the monkeys riding the animals =p

  • @Emodnet I'll take a video next time; But most of the times, I just can't think of getting away from that scene to get a camera, so I just sit there and enjoy it. Once I had a breakfast while watching a monkey riding a cow; its true. The cow was just getting out of its shed and going to the fields; this monkey just jumped on it. This monkey have been TERRORIZING the villagers for over a month then. The best prank by this monkey was taking women's innerwears and throwing them in ponds.

  • @ma8740 wow =o

  • Hyenas are AMAZING animals! <3

  • The guy in the video made a good point. Even in zoo's where they have hyena's you can never find hyena memorabilia. They are so underrated, they deserve more attention.

  • What a sweet video. How nice you got to see a couple of pups! :D

  • "then this one, shortly after this, went out in front of our jeep and took a big dump. it was one of the worst smelling things ive ever smelled in my life."

    PLEASE narrate the next spinoff of planet earth or blue planet or whatever

  • @seanmm318 Thanks, just telling it like it is. (it smelled bad) I would love to narrate one of those shows uncensored. Would be fun :)

  • @seanmm318 I salute your being.

  • Hyenas FTW!

  • hyenas are cats

    can anyone tell me if there is any info on the two tigers released in africa about a year or two ago?

  • 11,000 years ago hyenas live in great parts of europe to,they were slightly bigger than the spotted hyenas of today

  • wait so hyenas are related to dogs and cat and meerkats plz reply

  • @nick90690 Hyena are more closely related to meercats/wolverines/ferrets INSTEAD of dogs or cats

    they utilize a pack mentality and social behavior, muckh like lions and wolves...and although they are often thought to be cowardly, current thought is that they simply have a higher sense of risk accessment that originally believed.

  • cool vid, thanks for sharing. with all the crap on tv these days i've gotten into documentaries on history and nature. i always loved lions, tigers etc but all i knew of hyeenas was from the lion king. after seeing 2 docs focused on hyeenas and other docs involving hyeenas i've realized just how awesome they are. every bit the predator that a lion is and i think they may even be better hunters [ kills per hunt ], according to 1 of the docs i saw. def an overlooked but beautiful animal.

  • "took a big dump" lol

  • Hyenas are amazing predators. Highly intelligent and organized. They make the lions look kinda dumb and sloppy by comparison, and lions are astonishing animals. I see very little on them in the nature shows, its true. I don't think they get the respect they deserve.

  • i LOVE hyenas the are an amazing animal usally over looke but that are so myjestic

  • I think they're ugly, and pot bellied. Not very attractive as far as romanticized animals like the tiger or lion go, but I still think they're cool.

  • Apparently i laugh like a hyena..LOL

  • @MeerKat186 *grin* That makes us two, welcome to the club!

  • thanks for posting hyenas are awesome

  • 0:31 "YOINK"

  • Ever since "The Lion King" Hyenas have gotten a bed rep. I love the big cat week series and all, but I hoping that someone will narrate and follow hyenas for weeks at a time. You're in the right direction.

    Great job.

  • @PharoahsKingdom So true. I have only seen little pieces on various animal shows on the hyena. I would love to go out and follow a group of them.

  • @briczar22 why's hyenas are so funny when they eating?

  • @PharoahsKingdom That's one of the reasons I plan not to show the film to my kids.(I'm not a parent yet though and I'm still in High School, but I think not showing them The Lion King is a smart idea)

  • @PharoahsKingdom Yea. It's unfortunate that these guys don't have many documentaries centered around them. They're always depicted as the bandits, in many nature documentaries.

  • It's also upsetting because the European spotted hyenas were capable of reaching weights over 200lbs on average, but humans had to run them off extinct.

  • ههههه وش يحس فيه

  • the females usually run the clan, does that mean they are larger than the males ?

  • @ronnied828

    Yes they are.

  • @ronnied828 Yes. About 5-10% larger.

  • Between lions and dogs, Hyenas... :P

  • I actually like lions, too... but hyenas are my favourite animals! =)

    I think they're so underestimated!

  • Caralho meu irmao!!!!

  • @Shadowmaster888 fool, hyenas are awesome, lions are idiots. They're stupid. And they suck

  • HYENA IS AWESOME.

  • I still like hyenas.Besides,lions also seal.Male lions mostly live from other animal's kills.

  • I love hyenas :)

  • I love hyenas. People always say they are ugly and evil but I think that they are so beautiful. I'm really glad that someone uploaded a video in their favor for a change. I can't wait till I go on safari and see them myself.

  • egaergs jeyh itjwtw krj eue 7er rth ye

  • esta bien el video

  • fantastic video, tnx!!!

  • these are amazing, i watched a hyena thing on discovery and they have even been known to kill lions!! ridiculously smart

  • when these animals are killing ... is a horrible moment, you can see them eating their prey completely alive

  • awesome vid i wanna buy a shirt but im sure mah parents wont let me

  • Who cares if people recognize them or not, in the end of the day their the most succesfull predator in Africa, their more numerous then the lion, Cheetah and Leopards. This is due to them being resistant hunter-scavengers.

  • HYENA HYENA HYENA HYENA

  • youtube.com/watch?v=JO5CPhf4MW­k

  • Random Fact: Female Hyenas don't have proper vaginas.

  • Theyre great animals but you gotta admit that theyre pretty ugly.

  • Hyenas are Fucking Burutal Killas

  • hyenas are like little chavs..they are always acting like their intoxicated off white lightning and causing a nuisance

  • Hyenas suck dick! No I mean like literally. They lick each other's genitals as part of their greeting ritual. They are cool in their own weird way.

  • there 2 different type hyena this one here on is spotted hyena but in other video is stripped hyena but i think spotted hyena is bigger and more aggressive than stripped hyena

    funny thing about their belly is like a mens beer belly lol

  • every kind of Animal has their own features. You can say that they are dirty or stupid.

    I am sure that those Hyena haters also don't want to see this animal get extinction.

  • As much as I loved it, The Lion King really gave Hyenas a bad name lol. But luckily people like the fine uploader of this video, looked into the actual science of Hyenas and it turns out, they are pretty cool after all.

  • @VictorEchoNovember79

    Yea i have to admit i used to think Hyena's were stupid lazy Scavengers, now tho i find myself loving them. There like the Under-dogs of the animal kingdom an most people refuse to give them any credit but if it wasn't for Lions Hyenas would own out in the Wild. Still there a very cool predator an one im finding myself enjoying watching more an more the more i know about them. Here's hoping more people will be willing to give them the credit they deserve.

  • Don't know why people hate scavengers, hyena only do what they were born to do. They complete the nutrient cycling and the energy flow of the eco-system, without them, there would be much fewer biomass and biodiversity in the area.

    Hyena are also an indication to the sustanability and healthiness of the local environment--since they are extremly hardy creatures(resistance to most diseases, including rabies), a place where hyena had extincted must have irrevesible destruction to the environment.

  • why T shirts <_<

  • i used to think that hyena`s were nothing but a bunch of scavenging bullies, taking food from other predators all of the time. but now, i realized that they`re such a magnificent animal and they do go out and work hard for their food. i guess a lot of the misconceptions about hyena`s comes from lack of education. Most people are not well edcucated about hyena`s but they are more educated about lions or tigers.

  • I think the main reason they're looked down upon is because everyone saw the lion king.

  • Scientists now believe Hyenas are as intelligent as primates.

  • الضباع تشبه الوهابيه في عصرنا الحالي

    لعنة الله على الوهابيه النواصب النجووووس

  • الضباع تشبه الوهابيه النواصب في عصرنا الحالي

    لعنة الله على الوهابيه النواصب النجوووس الملاعين

  • i tht they were scavengers

  • @virgoptrex nah, hyenas hunt more than they scavenge, about 60% of the time their hunting, and can kill animals as large as zebra, wildebeast, large antelope, baby buffalo's etc. very efficient hunters and have a much better success rate than any other animal in africa, except wild hunting dogs.

  • Africa's trash can is right. Hyenas thrive on trash. Amazing animal !

  • Hyenas are under-appreciated. Period.

  • very strange creatures ...badly painted as theives, much like many other things like snakes, and fox's, wolves, bears , and sharks, a bit unfair

    @doumbfuck

    i think if you followed the laws of natural respect for the cubs and mother you would be able to get closer at least, as damn sure u follow HER rules , body language on full on mode, make yourself fking small, non threateining, allow yourself to be inspected, if you are scared but pretending not to be dont even go near them, or be torn apart!

  • bo00ooooo

  • Hyenas r the best!!

  • In front of the Jeep, huh?

    Suuuuuure.... Blame it on the hyena.

  • Oh and another thing he said the hyena arent equipped and dont have teeth like the cheetah .. i beg to differ .. the hyena have huge bottom teeth that are bigger but not as sharp as the cheetahs canines

  • Yeah i mean i knew cheetahs were fast but i mean they would run right at a wildabeest and then get right up to him and just stop and submit and run away ... idk if its a stamina issue or they are truely just scared of the beest ... idk but the best hunter ive seen so far is the female lion : ))

  • you know its really cool then this guys looses all crediblity when he says "infront of our jeep and took a big dump". 1:49

  • I was watching a documentary and cheetahs really arent good hunters i watched a cheetah fail at 5 diff attempts .. it was sad cuz i thought they were the fastest in the kingdom but they were outran by a gazelle

  • @iTzMeThoDz: Cheetahs tire out VERY easily. The negative aspect all felids encompass is low stamina. They tire out too quickly. Their fast-twitch muscle fibers give them quick reflexes, but also are not as used to running or performing other strenuous actions for extremely long periods of time.

  • I thought hyenas were scavengers ??

  • Hyenas are awsome and socially intelligent.

  • they are friggin huge!

  • For a long time, I thought I alone loved this fascinating beautiful underrated animal. When I would tell anyone they were always disgusted & freaked out when I told them I am a fan of Hyenas. Attentive gentle parents,ferocious hunters & opportunistic scavengers. Until we used night vision to observe hyenas at night, in their realm, it was assumed they were scavengers & thieves &lions were regal & mighty. We now know what great hunters hyenas are & lions steal from hyenas. CoExist not compete

  • Hyenas....The Rodney Dangerfield predatory animals......I absoutley adore them though......

  • Underrated carnivore

  • hyenas are beautiful animals which deserve more recognision as an animal that is brilliant

  • It's hard to tell anymore on YouTube is the narrator of the video is also the uploader, but, if you are the man in the video, then kudos! I'm glad someone loves and respects these animals like I do.

    I'm so jealous of your experience!

    At this point, the only thing keeping me from seriously considering adopting a captive hyena cub is something this video proves you're familiar with: the potency of their scent markings.

  • Thanks for the message. Yes, i do all my videos. I film, edit, talk overs, etc.. i am not that good, but i love wildlife and want to get the message out of how important they all are. And the hyena, in my opinion is way overlooked as a smart predator.

  • It was pretty obviously an amateur video, but that didn't take away at all from the content. I personally found it a lot easier to enjoy your video than almost any Youtube National Geographic video, solely based on how obnoxious the narrator they've chosen is,

    Anyway, great work! Was the smell really that unbearable? I need to go to a zoo some time and check it out.

  • @briczar22 so if you tryed to touch one of those hyeana cubs do you think youd be instantley attacked i was on wiki looking up yeanas and learned that they have better reasoning skill then chimpanzees and actuley teach there clan mates sudy such as pulling ropes to get treats and after the first time taught other clan mates how to use the rope well yea i tottaley wanna get a pet hyeana it would be awesome

  • @Dav1dW1shart yeah pretty much what Dav1dW1shart said minus the last part... hyenas dont receive all the credit that they should...!! GO HYENAS!!

  • @Dav1dW1shart HYENAMEERCAT AND MONGOOSE

  • strongest bite pressure of any animal relative to its size and i mean any animal!

  • hyenas = big rats

  • lol yall r arguing about whos the theif here um its called food chain so they jsut do what is their right and how they are created ppl sholdnt be rascist amongst anumals they r all beautiful

  • Me too!

  • i like henyenas

  • the bigest thieves would be male lions.they so take advantage of the kills the females make.

    plus they steal food from other predetars.Lazy bums.

  • aint that the good life though?

  • @Shadowmaster888 i disagree hyenas r the number 1 thieves they r hoodlums they let u chase the food and kill it then they come take it from u including lions and im the biggest lion fan n the world but the truth is truth

  • @Shadowmaster888 I really respect the Male Mandrill as a worthy foe not to mess with. 110 or 130 lbs and have been known to take down lions.

  • @Shadowmaster888 i have to agree with you on that one. But they are great fighters and protectors of their pride. You have admit that.

  • @Shadowmaster888 and kill the cubs so he can get off.

  • @Shadowmaster888 I hear lionesses are becoming more lesbian as a result of this behavior!(J/K)

  • @Shadowmaster888 Wouldn't call then lazy...just bullies...I mean...would you really want to wake up to go to work everyday if ya could make the same amount of money sittin home or going somewhere to have fun?...

  • @Shadowmaster888 lions are the PRIDE of the serengeti/africa,,hyenas are just dirty predators.

  • @malindiboy you are a dumbass, lions is gay, hyenas rock (i didn't give proper grammer to lion b/c they dont deserve it)

  • @Shadowmaster888 lazy? my dear friend that is called a pimp. he waits for his bitch to make the kill boots her out and takes it for himself...pimp!

  • @Shadowmaster888 They also protect the pride from marauding males and also play a part in taking down big prey such as aging elephants.

  • @Shadowmaster888 sry i meant that for malindiboy

  • @Shadowmaster888 Their function is to protect the pride (and kills) from hyenas and other male lions who would kill the cubs. Their greater size means they aren't as efficient as the lionesses in the hunt. Lionesses also steal food from other predators.

  • @Shadowmaster888 its cos they r bosss

  • this magnificient animal is awesome

  • Hyenas deserve respect... they may stink but are smart and very dangerous and ferozous

  • @DeminRamst the hyena is my all time favorite animal b/c of their "lack of nobility" They are the ultimate opportunists and I find them very pretty b/c of there merciless behavior and ragged look. Perfection within imperfection.

  • So I was right :]

    Nice to know your opinion though, TheDayWeAwake.

  • @TheDayWeAwake they take what they want including respect doesn't matter if u want 2 give it 2 them

  • so lions are like dung beetles?

    hyenas are like wolved, they travel in packs and protect eachother

    retard

  • I suppose they are in the way they protect their kill,

    just like a dung beetle all over that sweet sweet dung.

    Can I also say that Hyena are also like Elephants in that they will both eat delicious peanuts.

    LOL

  • Hyenas are amazing animals and wonderfully unique. What an awesome predator. Was, is, and will always be my favorite African predator. :)

  • Hyenas is getting popular to be a Pet in African Family, I think must be a reason??

  • Yes, people are stupid. You don't take this animal out of its habitat to pet it.

  • its sad how people hunt tigers

  • Hyenas can compete against "the majestic lion". Lions are cool, but you have to give hyenas some props. The only reasons why there is an alpha male lion in a pride is to mate and to fight hyenas. Alpha female hyenas can fuck up lions

  • Moron

  • The hate of the Hyenas is probably cost most of us have seen The Lion King.

  • you don't make sense..

  • @Kungjanne: sounds silly, but I do think you're right. when you think of all the millions of kids watching that film, they grow up with the view twisted by disney that hyena's are the baddies of the animal kingdom. you only have to look at a few hyena vids and the ignorant comments on youtube to see that disney has done no favours at all for this incredible animal.

  • the thing about hyenas is they are pretty cool predators and all whats really amazing is there bite strength i never even knew it was that strong but at a young age the pups actually kill each other off to make sure they get there rightful place its kind of disgusting actually

  • I don't get this hate for hyenas, they are cute animals imo. Also they are dangerous, the fact they often steal food doesn't mean they are coward. Like other predators , they are dangerous in the wild.

    And by the way Cheetahs are the less agressive cats even in the wild and the most likely to human contact..

  • hyenas have strong bite but they act like cowards

  • @TheTopStriker: you don't really have any understanding of wildlife do you? How do hyena's act like cowards? Is it because they scavange? The main scavanger on land in Africa is the male lion. Scavanging is a sign of power and dominance in the wild. That's why hyena's and lions are the main culprits. And hyena's are ridiculously courageous... what other animal of their size has the sheer balls to go mix it up with fully grown lions? There's plenty of evidence on youtube showing that fact.

  • @TheTopStriker: it might be your opinion, I'm just saying it's a stupid one. applying "cowardly" behaviour to the animal kingdom is ridiculous. is a lion a coward when it chooses to hunt a baby buffulo instead of its fully grown mother?

  • Hyenas will eat anything?  Would they eat a live, wriggling, human baby if one were tossed out there? Love to see that. JUST KIDDING.

  • That was a good video I especially liked the hyena who took a crap when the pup walked next to him, haha! Hyenas rock!

  • you are a good man......lollllll

  • Hyenas are also very strange as the females have fake testes and fake penis (a mutant clitoris which is shaped just like a penis) and produce male scents so they can seem to be the males as they rule the pack. Then even more strange when males matge with females they have to put their penis up the penis of the female. Birth can also be quite hard as it happens through the penis. You cant make shit like this up!!! Nice video.

  • no comprender

  • Hyenas eat anything that has meat and bones attached. They even eat themselves. They are very dangerous. Especially in packs. The ones that have spots and stripes are the most aggressive and violent. The ones with just brown fur are smaller ,and are not as aggresive. And those are also more quieter.

  • They respect humans for some reason.

  • I thought hyenas were suppose to laugh not kill!

  • there like the worst killers as the big cats kill there pray instantly e,g biting the windpipe hyenas bite and eat there pray whist there alive.

  • big cats do not do anything to the trachea(windpipe)

  • AFter they kill you they will laugh...

  • Oppps! Thanks!

  • Lions suck!

  • Hyena eats anything eh? lucky they didnt eat you :D

  • Hyenas prefer stilling than hunting food just as (solo)male lions
