Hyena eating a baby wildebeest for breakfast!!

A video taken during a 9 day trip in Tanzania in East Africa. This footage was taken at around 6:30 AM, during a morning game drive in Tarangire National Park.
The baby wildebeest was already dead before we arrived, it appeared the flesh was still fresh. But we cannot confirmed if the animal was killed by a bigger predictor such as a lion. However, The hyena was enjoying the breakfast so much, he (or she) ignored our presence. Although this footage was shot in zoomed mode but we were actually about 5 meters away from the hyena, hence it appears we are closer to the animal. Several vultures were surrounding the hyena anxiously, waiting for their turn on the fresh. From time to time, these vultures tried to get closer to the hyena and try their luck, but the agile hyena would back them off quickly but cautiously. Eventually the hyena had enough of his breakfast and pack of vultures homed into the wildebeest carcus. We knew it was time for our own breakfast at the mobile camp.

Good healthy meal for that Hyena.

They eat way healthier than we do. We eat beef with hormones and a lot of fat.

@AnywhereButHere09 Hyenas usually start their attack from the rump, During holding down, they tear the flesh in that area so it allows them to eat their prey to death. Also, The rump is where all the good meat is at.
