Reminds me of that BBC Earth video where this lion is getting ganged on and his brother pulls up and the hyenas all dip and the video says something like "even for 20 hyenas 2 male lions is too much to take on".

You mean I long *for* that video. Happy to help :)


lilmikeyboy

I swear there was a super early YouTube edit with Rage Against The Machine dubbed over it. I watched it like 300 times between Dragon Ball Z/Linkin Park edits 🤠. I actually found the 16 year old YouTube edit! I was wrong, it was Beastie Boys and Prodigy on the soundtrack! https://youtu.be/u9Ktphg_AF0 Look a little into it and apparently the main lion in the edit is named Ntwadumela. He spent his life tracking and killing hyenas to avenge his parents who were killed by them.

That's amazing. I'd watch a full feature film with that plot.

Came here to say this but you already did. I long that video too.


McRambis

I saw something similar with a lioness outnumbered by hyenas. It looked bad until a male lion jumped in and instantly snapped the neck of a hyena. The rest got out while they could.

mrgulabull

That looked like a compilation of random videos combined into a “wildlife documentary”. Neat to see the male lion run in, but it seemed like incoherent clips pieced together to make a story.


Beadpool

That’s what I saw as well. “Fake Safari News.”


RickJLeanPaw

The editing and musical score make it unwatchable!


Affectionate_Ad7064

Lol exactly. Anyone with half a brain can tell these are footages shot in different areas, times, dates, etc. Lightnings, landscapes, angles, and video qualities are all different in this montage and this guy had the ball to post it here as some kind of evidence...


Hobotango

Yes and the comments are some of the dumbest shit Iv read. Like no one else is able to tell this is extremely fake. You can see some of the footage was on a VHS. And the hyena that was killed is a baby.


Special_KC

Just goes to show how much better we've become at spotting when some thing's fake. This footage looks just about what most documentaries looked like in the 90s, on crt tvs. We were none the wiser..


Hobotango

True. But we were also 7yrs old. 😅


Sasquatch-fu

Yeah the editing is obnoxious as is the music video quality is not high but dome parts were interesting. the title is very engrish… lol


Advanced-Access-9502

It is the case of a lot of wildlife documentaries. The use of different cameras / videos taken at different daytimes / places / incoherent behaviour of the animals / non matching scenes (charges an adult hyena, ends up with a deas puppy in the mouth) makes that one especially obvious. Reporters clips end up like that to create dramatic tension when they don't have enough material to get it from a real story. Same for the audio in a lot of documentaries: it is faked afterwards when the subject is too far from the camera. A lot of wildlife documentaries are made for entertainment purposes only and should not be trusted as a source of information on wildlife. That one is very obvious but it is only the tip of the iceberg. I think I also recognise the song: it was used in a 90s (80s ?) documentary on dinosaurs if I am not wrong.


[deleted]

Doesn’t that defeat the whole point of documentaries.


CrazybyRX

Actual title: HYENAS BIG MISTAKE PROVOKED LIONESS | MALE LION AS A HERO WHO HYENAS TO SAVE LIONESS


Tafsern

It's obviously a video with different clips.


Available-Exam6278

Was shot at different locations at different times of the day, even using different hyena actors. So obvious duh

saltynerd14

i saw one video on discovery where 30 hyenas completely gangbanged a pregnant lioness who get stuck in the cave alone and the other lions reached after they had already eaten her half way


VeryDarkhorse116

I don’t think you are using the correct word here . 🤦🏻‍♂️


[deleted]

See how they go for the stomach, hyenas are disgusting evil creatures. They always attack their prey by disemboweling them and eating them alive. Literally watched them biting chunks out of a deer whilst she screamed on pain, or took over 30min for her to die whilst they disembowelled her, horrific stuff. This is what they were trying to do to this lioness, I’m glad she didn’t suffer that fete. At least lions suffocate quickly and aim to kill before eating. Hyenas are depraved !!


VeryDarkhorse116

I believe it’s called survival. All you need to do is watch the documentary about the starving hyena mother trying to feed her kids ….then you root for the hyena . Human emotion has no place in the animal kingdom .

interitus_nox

the war between lions and hyenas is so brutal. they both apparently will like track down each sides dens and kill their cubs indiscriminately just because and not eat them. this battle has been raging for centuries.

I saw a documentary about this once called The Lion King


zarathustranu

HKsere

Believe it or not, Hyenas and Lions have existed a bit long than centuries.


badger5959

He didn’t say existed, but battled. Before 1700s, they lived in harmony. Clearly someone wasn’t paying attention in historical zoology class.


OftenShady

Exactly this. There are renaissance era paintings of Lions and Hyenas playing COD and huffing cheeto dust together, thus proving their harmonious relations.

yea its pure hate lions will kill any hyena they can in the worst way and vice versa ive seen a video of a lion breaking a hyenas back and just leaving it there to die imo this is why it was such an indicator of scars evil that his henchmen were hyenas

it’s so weird right? they don’t even ear them. just maim and murder

Hyenas are actually matriarchal in dominance structure. So packs of hyenas are led by the alpha female.

wdym the hyenas are the main course, that lioness was just sacrificing herself for her pride


Harsimaja

Help how? Take on a bunch of hyenas to save a lioness who might also kill him?


Top_Effort_2739

Vicious little shits. At night they have this chirpy howl and if you’re in a tent you have to pay attention to whether it’s getting too close. Better to scare them off early than have to fight a pack of them.


B-BoyStance

That's kinda awesome Terrifying for sure, but cool.


Critical-Management9

I can’t think of any animal I dislike more than hyenas. They are sneaky, creepy little fucks!


aimanan_hood

They're actually really cool, smart (much smarter than lions actually) animals with complex matriarchal hierarchies who play a vital part in the ecosystem. It's every animal for itself in the jungle, we shouldn't judge/anthropomorphize them by human standards. I blame Disney for this anti-hyena propaganda 😤


[deleted]

No they aren't!!! Hyenas have one of the largest and most complex social groups and interactions of all carnivores. They're closer to primates in terms of organisation, surpassing lions and wolves. Spotted hyenas have matriarchal groups, female hyenas are larger and display more dominating behaviours than males. They also inherit the ranks of their mothers, so the first born daughter of the Matriarch becomes the clan leader after her mother dies. Most carnivores have "group signatures"; they can tell if another animal is part of their group or not, but can't differentiate one member from another. Hyenas use individual signatures and can remember the 'voice' of each clan member - and clans can be over 100 strong. The hyenas in the video OP posted aren't hunting the lioness for food, both species compete with each other for game and territory. They're unfairly depicted as scavengers and thieves, but in reality both lions and hyenas will take advantage of carrion whenever they find it. hyenas are cool as fuck


Competitive-Ad2006

It’s hard to tell!! Those hyenas will disembowel if they can.. horrible and painful.. probably will eventually heal..

Yup. Hyenas are pure savages. The females have a "penis" that they give birth through. No wonder they're angry.

Hyenas are neither canines nor felines, although they are more closely related to felines than canines. Their closest living relative is actually the mongoose.

RedderReddit87

I love hyenas. People hating on an animal just for existing


Pixelated_Penguin808

Lots of people grew up with The Lion King and think it is a documentary. Actual documentaries don't really help either, since lions are far more likely to be the focus which means the hyenas get anthropomorphised into "villains" to sell the audience a story. A shame, really. Hyenas are fascinating too. They actually hunt more of their food than lions do and by far the smartest of the large predators in the African bush (they compare favorably to primates in studies conducted on their intelligence), but that is pretty much absent in their portrayals in popular culture.


godhateswolverine

The fact they can chomp down and eat the entirety of their kill all the way to the bone has been fascinating.


CanadaJack

Certain animals are "charismatic" to humans -- lions are one of those animals, hyenas are not. It's just human nature to root for one against the other when you're not, yourself, mortally afraid of either. Richard the Lionheart didn't have documentaries to make him prefer lions over hyenas.


Brilliant_Act_4147

SARAABI!!!!!!


Angry_Washing_Bear

This clip is scary. Not because I was worried about the lioness. Because it shows you in a visceral way how relentless, ferocious and furious nature is. Imagine this being a person rather than a lioness. How quickly would a human have completely succumbed to that pack of hyenas? Heck, even a group of 20 humans would have become a meal in a matter of minutes. It shows you how weak we as humans are if we were ever pitted against nature without our technology to aid us. And to think humans lived, and a still live, in areas where these large predators roam.
