How come nobody hates on lions for eating their prey alive? True, they don't do it as a rule, but they do it all the same. There's a Nat'l Geo video on here showing a pride eating a buffalo alive. The explanation? This pride had no competing lions or hyenas in their range. They could take their time.
As to hyenas eating their prey alive, it's a question of eating the kill as fast as possible—before lions take it away from them. And lions steal from hyenas a lot. So who's cruel?
For those that seem not to believe that she is still alive and well, her name is Floppy Ear and she is now the matriarch of a hyena clan in the next reserve along from where this video was taken, we see her a lot on Wildearth.tv where they do safari drives online every day. She has just had another set of cubs/pups.
richardbarratt, dont be foolish, hyena's just have a bad rap. Every animal kills with the tools that it has available. The tools of a hyena are in most peoples eyes just not as slick compared to that of big cats. That does not make them evil.
I admire the hyena because of its toughness, for me it is an animal that shows great character and combines that with a sense of humor. I love their laugh.
"Hyaena's Fate: We are happy to report that the hyaena that was filmed in October appears to have made a full recovery. She was attacked by lions last year, and suffered a fairly severe injury. Hyaenas are often difficult to identify, but the rangers are fairly certain they have seen her several times lately, and she seems to be back to full strength."
this was a very stressful time watching this hyena. I always wondered and still wonder what happened to her, I do not feel she survived, im a avid watcher at this water hole, and I myself never seen her return. This compared to the baby wildebeest that survived 3 weeks with a broken legs.
thank you - is incredible how we personalise this hyena. I am very happy about this fact - it shows that we all care about her and her injuries! It is a proof that we are real civilise humans!
But we believe in God's mercy (Al Rahman) There is no pain which we can not bear.!!. when the pain increases, we will faint If the pain reduces, we get consciousness. if the wound is big (by a sword or big bite...) we will not feel pain, nerves are shocked. All living thing will try its best to escape from danger, at the time, our sense of pain will not work, but spontaneous attempts to escape will work.
Wild Dogs usually eat their prey alive too. It's not too bad considering there are people out there who beat then skin animals alive, and beat them for fun, just to lower the price of more expensive, painless ways to put them down.
ls1phsyco - I agree with you. I can not see anyone suffering. I hate the way hyena hunt - but they must survive - and I feel pain in my heart when I see her suffering. But she is well now!
Hyenas much like Wolves hunt in packs because they do not process the means to deliver a killer blow like say a tiger or a lion. So the way they kill is a particularly gruesome one. Some members of the can distract the prey or overpower it while the rest basically try rip the preys belly open. The victim dies from massive trauma and blood loss.
Instead of killing the prey then eating it like a large feline they basically start eating the prey alive until it eventually dies in the process. Its not a pretty sight :(

If we believe in god and his mercy, it is true. in our life also if there are some danger.. and we escape from it, we will tell what happened? i cant believe woh it is terrific i cant think... etc, but did you feel anything at the time it occures, if we would had died in such an accident ? how shall we tell those words ... that is why i tell that god is merciful (god himself pleased to call him as most merciful because he is)God greated life in perfect way, can you think any alternative... No.

it's the way of the world yall. It's nature at it's best. You can't go out there and heal all the wounded, that's why so many of yall be getting killed out there. Y dont u say poor zebra or gazelle when their getting eaten alive by these hyenas.
whoever shot this video, should have done the decent thing and dispatched the suffering animal out of it's obvious misery, instead of recording it for what purpose?
This was recorder off a live stream cam set up at a water hole in Africa that is manned remotely. Sorry to say most of the wildlife reserves have a policy of not intervening with nature unless injury was caused by man.
That aside, I'm glad to read Floppy Ear has healed and is matriarch of a clan. Long may she reign!
