Jackals are vicious but small. The hyena could kill both of these jackals without much effort. One jackal seems to not know that. He's lucky the hyena can't be bothered to put him in his place.

I think they probably had puppies in the area

Those Jackals are likely life mates. They may be confronting the Hyena in order to protect a brood of pups. Ordinarily Jackals hang around where Hyenas are feeding, and don't challenge them, but in this case, I bet they are protecting their pups.

This is typical canine behavior, you can see coyotes doing the same thing to wolves. One trys to get the largeer animal to chase it, while the other one nips it from the rear. They were simply trying to chase the hyena off.

@GabSmith7 Jackals are much stealthier animals,I doubt a hyena could catch either of them.

Reading some of the comments on this video.

1. Hyenas are not slow. Whle not exceptional fast, they are still pretty quick and can keep up high speeds for a very long time.

2. Hyenas are not actually part of the dog family. They are most closely related to the weasel family.
