Original title: Why do the hyenas of the prairie love to dig anus?
This question is answered in a small way! But before we get to the bottom of this, let's take a look at what species the African hyena is.
The pronunciation of hyena is liè, which originally means the long hair on the neck of lions, horses and other mammals, I think it should be that this long hair looks very similar to several nocturnal carnivores that make up the hyena family, so it is called "hyena"!
Hyena is a common name for hyena mammals, can be divided into 2 subfamily hyena subfamily and coyotes subfamily, is a terrestrial medium-sized and dog-like carnivorous animal, in addition to scavenging, can also rely on unique skills to "dig the anus" to prey prey.
We all know that lions, cheetahs, etc. due to their relatively large size and strong aggression, when hunting prey, they are generally frontal attacks with their strong bite force to bite the neck of the prey to suffocate or hemorrhagic shock, and it is precisely because lions and other beasts of prey have mastered the neck is the most vulnerable, so they can quickly capture the prey.
Due to the relatively small size of the hyena, it is somewhat insufficient in frontal attack, especially buffalo and antelope, which are larger than themselves and have horns, etc., and there is a risk of being killed by the head horn when attacking head- Due to the special body structure of herbivores, the abdomen, anus and even the genitals are located in the posterior body, and this part is also the most vulnerable place, and the hyena has mastered this weakness of the animal and captured the prey with four or two pounds of extraction technique.
However, hyena extraction is completed by teamwork, generally several or even dozens of sieges at the same time, on the one hand, it can distract the attention of the prey, on the other hand, it consumes the physical strength of the prey, because the hind legs of the animal are very strong, and a single hyena will be kicked away immediately near the tail.
Although the lion in the African savannah is the first in the impression, this beast will also tremble and may die when it falls alone in front of the hyena herd, and it is not uncommon for lions to plunder the prey of hyenas in the grassland.
Although the hyena's extraction technique is very terrible, and the prey that is attacked is subject to this torture, if the hyena is one-on-one with its own much smaller honey badger with the names of African Brother and Flat-headed Brother, the hyena will also become a defeated general.
