Hyenas Steal Lioness' Kill, but the Male Lion Turns the Tables!

Witness an intense clash between hyenas and a lioness and a male lion Joins the fight in the African savanna...

An Icy winters mornings revealed some Hyenas leading us to a kill. The western pride tried to defend their prize but more and more Hyenas soon arrived. With the Hyenas soon managed to take over the kill and this lioness soon found herself right in the middle of the action. What an amazing experience for the guests to experience this once in a lifetime sighting!

This Amazing Sighting Captured By Neil Coetzer a Professional Safari Guide in the Greater Kruger Region.

Scavenging Strategies:
Hyenas are expert scavengers and can steal kills from lions, especially if the lion pride is outnumbered or weakened. They use their impressive stamina to harass lions, wearing them down until they abandon their prey. This competitive scavenging dynamic often leads to intense confrontations between the two species.

So confident. Surveys the area and thinks "there is only 10 of them" and strolls on in. Respect the King.

That lion was practically YAWNING as he casually walked over to claim "his" lunch ... awesome display of intimidation and confidence.

[istari]

That male lion just walked in there like he owned the place!

[simonvataleni]

He was like: wait, one two, three, four, five, six seven, oh they are just twenty three, I can handle this

[quantumcat]

And he was only a young male! The hyenas don't want to mess with him.

[curtisthomas]

Now that's respect. It's amazing that they can tell the difference between male and female lions. He just walked right up and said what? That's what I thought. 😂😂😂😂😂😂King

[daggaboom]

Even a teenage lion is someone they don’t want to mess with.

[timmotizzard]

Walks in shoulders rised, chin up. Majestic ❤

[ArtieJ.]

The male lion walked up like: "One day you're gonna die laughing."

[tara_p_rose]

I love the way he just saunters up to them with so much confidence, like a true king! Very impressive, being a huge lion fan, I love this video!!! 🦁👑🧡🧡🧡

[Pinzollo]

So much power, so regal...he knows it and arrogantly stroll in as they scatter in all directions. IMPRESSIVE!!!!

[Gargoyle_]

"My wife called… Are you the ones causing trouble?”

[davidbatin]

Must be nice to have that kind power & presence enough for them to give him total respect.

[coldlava]

I like how they all started laughing when the lion ran away 😆

[R-L-I]

Funny how all of a sudden how quiet the hyenas got. 😂

[mikedom]

He seemed to be looking out for other males at the kill. He was young but very confident. They aren’t going to drive him off

[ikrebs]

It's funny how hyenas didn't even try to fight him, and he himself didn't have to fight

[alveer]

loved the way it just walked right in standing tall and proud, if it roared them hyenas wouldve pissed themselves.😂

[afa]

The most majestic creature. This how an alpha male has to be.

[buffiesilver]

I like the way he was quit and sneaky with it. He is a big and beautiful boy!!
