The only animal in the African savannah that can balance with lions! Do whatever you want all day with a one-handed pull! A man was brutally attacked and scattered on all fours, how ferocious is the African hyena? Why did a hyena, which even lions fear, run away when they saw Africans?
On December 30, 2021, the Zimbabwe "Sun" reported a tragic incident, when a local man was sleeping late at night, the family actually broke into a group of hyenas and tore the man to pieces, and the ground was full of blood and broken limbs, like a purgatory on earth. In fact, there are many incidents of hyenas attacking humans, as early as 2014, there was a hyena crisis in the capital of Ethiopia, they often went out late at night, hunting stray animals in the city, and often attacked humans, those homeless wanderers will become their prey targets, some were bitten, some were bitten off their fingers, this group of hyenas even snatched a baby from the arms of a mother.
Speaking of hyenas, this animal can be described as prestigious, I believe that many people have the impression of it as ferocious, treacherous and greedy, so what kind of animal is a hyena? Why does it love to pluck its anus, and why is it said that the African savannah overlord lion will be jealous of it?
To say that in the African savannah, that kind of animal is the most famous, compared to everyone will answer the lion in unison, because the lion is not only mighty and handsome in appearance, even the action reveals a king's breath all the time, but whenever everyone mentions the lion, it always thinks of another animal, that is, the hyena, in many African savannah documentaries, we can see the figure of the hyena, it often flocks, but also robs others of prey, the most memorable is its obscene predation technology, Not only to destroy the flesh of the prey, but even more psychologically, that is, to pluck the anus.
So what kind of animal is the hyena? In fact, hyenas do not want to be canines as everyone imagines, but in fact, hyenas are uncompromising cats, although it has dogs in its name, and its appearance is similar to that of canines, but biologists have found that hyena genes are much closer to cats than canines, so hyenas are uncompromising cats.
Nowadays, there are 4 kinds of hyenas in the world, of which the most commonly seen in documentaries, and the largest number of them are spotted hyenas with black spots all over the body, which is also the representative of the hyena image that we all know. The other three hyenas are dark-haired brown hyenas, striped hyenas with full body stripes, and the last one is the youngest of the hyenas called coyotes.
And we can see such a scene in many documentaries, that is, a group of hyenas eating around a pile of rotting meat, hyenas are notoriously picky eaters, even if it is carrion, which also leads to hyenas have many viruses and parasites in their bodies, but hyenas are like bats, with strong immunity. And hyenas often snatch the prey of other animals in groups, such as leopard cheetahs are often bullied by hyenas, and sometimes even the lone prairie king lion will become the target of its attack, the reason is not how powerful the hyenas are, but hyenas but any move will be a group of people to act together, facing those animals that prey on their own, such a group of madmen is obviously avoided by everyone, and because of this, hyenas are an unearned image in everyone's mind.
But the most unbearable is the hyena's despicable attack method, as a race animal, on the contrary, the wolf makes everyone very like, they will catch the prey through cooperation and brave frontality, while the hyena is not, they will first drive it away when preying, and then when they are relaxed, the hyenas will rush up, one group will attract attention in front, and the other group will choose to sneak in the back, using sharp suppression to tear the anus of the prey, this offensive method can be described as cruel, Prey that is pulled out of the anus does not die quickly, most of them are torn by hyenas, and finally slowly die, for this attack method, even the African buffalo will easily die, to know that the African buffalo is a lion feels tricky animals. But such a ferocious animal is said to run away when it sees Africans. Why aren't Africans afraid of hyenas?
Although the hyena's various behaviors seem to be criticized, but in fact, it is also a helpless move, take the snatching of food, in fact, we all misunderstand it, we see the documentary will pick a wonderful scene to play, and snatching food is a wonderful scene, but according to the observation of zoologists, hyenas do not only rob others of food, in the prey they eat, 75% are hunted by themselves, and the remaining 25% includes robbing and eating carrion. As for the anus, because hyenas, like wolves, are mainly chasing prey over long distances, waiting until the physical strength of the prey is exhausted, all kinds of bites, but unlike the wolves, most of the prey on the African grassland is thick-skinned, and the hyena does not have sharp claws to allow it to fix the prey, so it can only choose every place where the mouth can cause damage to the prey, so the weakest anus of the prey is the best route to attack, and the fact that this has proved to be successful.
The hyena's way of living in groups is its means of saving its life, because in the African savannah, there is also the lion at the top of the food chain to control all living things, so the hyena must ensure enough partners to compete with the lion, and this habit also makes the hyena a well-deserved second-in-command in the grassland. This has also led to the local Africans killing hyenas as a symbol of courage, like the tiger heroes of the mainland.
In some primitive tribes in Africa, we can often find that the people here actually have hyenas in captivity, they will put chains on the hyenas, and then they will go out to show off, so how do they do it? In fact, in these Primitive African disregard, the local people deal with various animals in the grassland every day, and the largest number of hyenas they have long had a way to deal with, so they are not afraid of hyenas at all, and even many young people in Africa also train a hyena as a pet, under the premeditation of humans, hyenas will certainly not be human opponents, just like Russian bears have no dignity, everyone is not surprised.
