Spotted Hyena Fighting a Domestic Dog in Kruger Park, South Africa

A domestic dog that somehow got into Kruger had a brawl with this spotted hyena and ended up getting injured to the point of almost losing a leg and hid under a bakkie. This clip shows the hyena going at the dog thats under the bakkie after they had fought. The yelping you can hear is from the dog under the bakkie.

So it became hyena food either way.

@00mrmonster - Nope, we shot the dog and removed it so it wouldn't bring rabies into the park and spread through different animals.

What happened to the dog, did the hyena eat it?

[psesinkclee]

@00mrmonster - In the end, we had to chase off the hyena and shoot the dog because it was clearly rabid and too much of a risk to leave in the park since it could introduce rabies to other animals (namely the hyena).

@stinkittodaman Where do you get this fact from?

[Mrdihenry]

do you know what breed the dog was?

There was a study that showed hyenas can be infected and carry rabies,but they seem to be unaffected, they show no symptoms and no ill effects of the disease. But not wanting to introduce it into the area was a good decision.

That dog lucked out - thought they might be similar-looking and the same size, a hyena's bite can easily severe a dogs limbs or spinal cord.
