Hyenas are fucked up. They have the worst table manners I ever saw. I mean, they don't even kill the thing before starting to chow.

They're gross for that.

Even a wild pig will kill you first.

[NaVySoLdIeR26]

ok well i condone the right to your own opinion, but lemme ask you...why were you looking at hyenas if they're so gross?

[DTHPRF66]

i have news for anybody who hates Hyenas...the Hyena is the only animal in Africa that goes after top predators, they arent afraid of anything! they would kill, hunt, or chase down almost any animal in africa. They also hunt more then lions do, the Hyena is extremely intelligent and is a master of causing confusion...and they also broke the Vultures code too...give respect where respect is due, and these animals have suffered a terrible imagine for nothing.

u can all thank disney for that hate...and also thank disney for all the child molestors and racists out there :O

One more thing: if Hyenas take over another pack, they would raise the conquered puppies as if they were their own. I don't remember ever reading of a conquering Human army which ever spared the innocent children.

one example for the stupid misunderstanding of Hyenas is the ancient Ethiopian belief that the Falasha people were transforming into Hyenas at night and attack villages. Hyenas have no reason to prey on humans, unless the Humans take over their domain as expected from Humans and then Hyenas have to fight more ferociously to survive or if they are really hungry. the point is Hyenas are much more noble than Humans believe.

Hyenas are the only animals in africa that are an actual threat to lions. Really cool animals they are.

I love and admire the hyena; thanks for making this video. The two big complaints against hyenas are ridiculous and/or false:

—"Lions don't eat their prey alive!" Sorry, they do. Not always, but often enough; and viciously slowly.

—"Hyenas are scavengers!" Hyena hunts succeed up to 95% of the time. Lions? Maybe 30%. Before night vision, lions eating kill at dawn with hyena around led to the assumption the hyena were waiting to grab a lion kill. Now we know its the lions who stole a hyena kill.

@Baywilliamjohnson Awesome response man!! I'm with you 100%!!!

[frios011]

Hyenas in my opinion are bad asses, if they are surviving in such large numbers living alongside such creatures that are twice or even three times larger than they are. I think they are ultimate predators!!

- . - hating a animal

is the same thing as being racist to a person.

idk why people gotta hate hyenas i mean they got feelings

just like humans do

[spastikman]

@legseam You say this as if it were YOUR opinion. Question is, who told you to have that opinion?

The argument you bring up is older than most countries and has taken too long to die and is based on false information.

I doubt that you have killed 1% of all you've eaten in your life. Your mom who feeds you didn't kill it 1% of the time. The grocery store she bought it from didn't kill it 1% of the time.

We are scavengers of scavengers of scavengers of scavengers of scavengers 99% of the time
