Hyena Cornered by Wild Dogs Calls for Backup!

A hyena was looking after her cub that has passed recently. Wild dogs thought this could be a meal! They came in, but instead of trying to eat the cub, they decided to go after the mom.

The wild dogs cornered the hyena. Eventually, a fellow clan member came in to the rescue!

Thanks to Jan Kriel from Jock Safari Lodge for the amazing footage!

It's incredible how they understand immediately that the fight is over when the second hyena arrives. They really got their maths figured out.

[leky]

Both Hyenas and wild dogs sounds like sinister laughters.

Very clever of the hyena to use that brick mount to stop being attacked from all sides. If the hyena was out in the open it would have stood little chance

[souflikar]

How smart was the hyena to stay up against that object(not sure what it was). But that prevented the dogs from attacking from behind. New respect!

[jpo]

Hyena: Damn! What took you so long?

Hyena: Bro, Google Maps was trippin!

[MarcTheMessenger]

Back up took so damn long I was gonna go and help him out

“You better watch your back” is an understatement when it comes to these doggies 😂

It’s crazy how the tables turned when the second hyena showed up to the scene.

Hyenas always looked like they were made out of spare parts, since nothing looks like it belongs on the same animal.

The other hyena is like that one friend that comes when you halfway beaten.

[societydisorder]

That was the longest 2 minutes and 40 seconds of my life

[zed]

Never felt bad for a Hyena until this moment, but wild dogs were like "okay guys, time to go...we ain't gonna fight"

[CrystalCarrington]

Clever hyena using the wall as a shield. x

[elixtido]

hyena getting a dose of his own medicine. That's exactly how they fight

[skyrere]

that is the most interesting collection of whistles and clicks coming from those wild dogs.

[tbonesteak]

Wild dogs : “ we’ve come to collect “!
Hyena: Ok but I’m protecting my ASSets!

[imguilt_yy]

When your brother comes to defend you from your school bully:

[justinflix]

Hyena 1: Hey Jim you took so long to get here man
Hyena 2: I couldn't hear you laughing

[brahbrah]

This was like a movie never thought I'd root for a hyena but I was yelling "keep fighting lil man"

[bigdaddy]

The first hyena was like: " dam cuz what took so long" lol
