Lions and hyenas share a complicated rivalry. Although hyenas and lions rarely eat each other, they are fierce competitors in the wild. With their inherent ferocity, both species are willing to kill their rivals to compete for territory and food sources.
In Africa, hyenas often clash with lions, usually when they eye the prey that the lions have hunted. However, these encounters rarely result in fatalities, as hyenas typically avoid direct confrontation with lions.
According to experts, in a one-on-one confrontation, a hyena is no match for a lion. Typically, it takes three hyenas to take down a single lion. Both species are well aware of each other’s strengths and weaknesses, so they will strike at each other depending on the situation.
