  1. ​ @Dutti-is-a-clown That cub could never dream of handling a hyena. It's barely the size of a leopard, and even leopards struggle with hyenas, and more often that not, they end up giving in to the hyenas and running away. At most that cub probably weighs 50kg, which is pretty tiny, even compared to a leopard of similar size, and not only does it lack experience, but it is extremely underdeveloped. A lioness has trouble fending off aggressive hyenas. What makes you think a cub that is 1/3 the size with barely any experience can even stand a chance? To kill a hyena, it would have to subdue it and suffocate it, but the hyena isn't just gonna go "guess I'll die" and let the cub do that. It will absolutely maul it, and likely not even sustain any injuries from the encounter.

  2. Here before this video gets age restricted. Also, I still find it weird how hyenas are not caniforms. Everything they do is dog-like. Even mating.

  3. Hyenas should also get a pass.

  4. He was definitely scared. Trying to make a run for it would've been the last thing he'd do, because although they're endurance runners, the only large african savannah animals that can beat painted dogs in a sprint are lions, cheetahs and a select few prey species. If he had run, he'd get eaten.

  5. @@user-lo8px9uu4l Animals don't make human-like noises for the same reason humans do. Go ask a smiling gorilla for a handshake or hug a T-posinh anteater. Also hyenas are not cocky and are actually very wary of potential threats.

  6. ​ @Dutti-is-a-clown The hyenas were interested in the food. The cub was just something that distracted them from their original goal. If they wanted to eradicate all those lions, they would. It's just 1 adult lioness and a bunch of inexperienced young individuals that would have no idea what to do in the situation.

  7. As an advocate of the Painted Dog Association, lions are amateurs.

  8.  @sycofya1677  It is. Also, it was a harnless joke anyway.

  9.  @BigDicTRP  You're a product of nature and it's your job to respect it and mind your own business. Not depriving two predators from a potential meal. But saving one animal, you probably kill tens more.

  10. ​ @PeaceNinja007 The cheetah was actually injured.

  12.  @Dutti-is-a-clown  Anything can defend themselves against anything. An ant could defend itself against an elephant, however it would be unsuccessful.

  13. He was probably just scared of falling. It may seem far fetched, but for an animal that lives in trees, they always have to worry about falling from heights they can't see.

  14. You guys overestimate honey badgers. Predators don't leave them because they're scared, but because they're simply not worth the effort.

  15.  @Qahnaarin3010  Well these hyenas are a lot more confident. Realistically in a clash, it takes like 7 hyenas to kill a male lion with minimal injuries.

  16. ​ @Kenan-Z I doubt you care when you tear into that juicy chicken drumstick. The chickens probably suffered more when they were alive.

  17.  @GeorgiaAndrea  Why? They're living their life without giving 2 chitters about you, live yours.

  18. 2:30 I swear, lion roars sound like they have something lodged in their throat.

  19.  @Dutti-is-a-clown  If they wanted to kill the cub, they would've done it already.

  20. ​ @ashdog236 Just wanna say that they never said that only hyenas do it. They only said that hyenas do it best. But yes, Lions are heavily sugar-coated.

  21. I don't think you watched this video. Also, there are many more videos of lone hyenas and painted wolf packs absolutely dominating leopards.

  22. That cub is at least 45kg and the buffalo just flung it into oblivion.

  23.  @jcpenny3606  A leopard and lion are two completely different animals, sizewise. One weighs 60kg, while the other weighs 190kg. An agitated lion will maul a honey badger with 0 hesitation. Even leopards are frequent predators of honey badgers. Honey badgers don't give birth in the open, they have burrows for that. They're hyper aggressive because they need to be. Their entire act is just trying to convince a predator that they aren't worth the effort. If the leopard in the video you mentioned wanted to kill the honey badger, it would do it. No matter how long the fight takes, the honey badger would not win.

  24. You're legit the one instigating. None of your claims even make sense. A lion cub will kill a hyena? Keep dreaming.
    4
  25.  @Crocutaalpha  No they don't. The average mass of a hyena is about 64kg. Large ones can grow to 80kg and the largest reached about 110kg but we're talking about the average. If that's your definition of average, then the average lion weighs 250kg rather than 190kg.

  26. It would've stayed in the tree.

  27. I'd say the ultimate predator is the one with an 80% success rate in this video, rather than the one with sub 30%. Or maybe the one with a 95% success rate that is probably in this video, but we can't see.

  28.  @bowl3864  What reason, that they hunt livestock? Newsflash every predator in Africa will hunt livestock if they get the chance, but you don't see anyone saying down with the lions or leopards.

  29.  @LFC2025CDLT  The people turning on their jeep has nothing to do with the calf dying. The mother tries to chase the lions, while leaving her calves unprotected, and one got eaten. These comments always blaming safari vehicles for every animal that dies are so stupid.

  30. So you're saying that lions should starve to death?

  31. Leopard was never in power though.

  32.  @alexanderbohm607  Oh.

  33. I absolutely hate animal propaganda. Especially lions. Lions on their own are cool though, but not kings. Spotted hyenas are closer to royalty group wise, than lions will ever be. Let me see a lone without claws and a smaller jaw than average take down a fully grown wildebeest.

  34. ​ @durveshdmhatre Not necessarily that she would kill a few, but the risk of injury is quitr high, even without death (unlikely any would die, since if a single one was attacked, the others would come to its aid). Dogs can feel pain, and pain is quite unpleasant, so they might as well not fight the lioness when they could get easier prey elsewhere.

  35. Bro they paid to see an incredible sighting. They saw the incredible sighting. Without these tourists paying and coming to see various sightings, all of these animals would be very vulnerable to humans.

  36. That monitor attacked a pregnant yeen. Shame on it. #cancelmonitors

  37. ​ @aikonriche It's a fully grown buffalo cow, which is likely pushing 450kg.

  38. ​ @unconscious1076 Leopards have been documented killing silverbacks, but that's nothing compared to 5+ pairs of teeth coming from you from different directions with insane agility.

  39. ​ @LionDominator Pretty sure tigers don't live with either hyenas or wild dogs, troll.

  40.  @PeaceNinja007  I think if was a female in heat who got killed and before she got killed, 3 males were fighting over her and she got involved.

  41. They are both distributors that post videos to YouTube. They post whatever tourists submit to them.

  42. Lions and buffalos Leopards and Painted Wolves Cheetahs and Everything

  43. What is that logic? There are too many humans on earth, who were the ones that actually gave lions the threatened status. If that means that humans need culling too, let's start with you.

  44. Didn't expect to see you here lol.

  45.  @Crocutaalpha  Well I looked, and I saw no ripping. You're legitimately the guy who gives hyena lovers a bad name. Word lf advice you want people to like something, don't just cram it down their throats.

  46. Wtf was the cub supposed to do? If it ran, the hyenas would catch up to it and easily kill it. It's called a fight or flight response, and a lot of animals have it. It's really nothing special, just a basic survival skill. Also, your username and pfp are goofy.

  48. A lion doesn't have to be primed to be able to chase off a herd.

  49.  @juliebyrne2533  The channel already has tonnes of more brutal videos.

  50.  @jamesaron1967  Agreed. I hope poaching comes to an end for all creatures. Also, last time I checked, African rhinos are still threatened, with black rhinos being critically endangered and white rhinos being vulnerable. Well now it seems that their population is increasing. I'm so happy. If only as much effort was put into restoring other endangered animals who are overlooked, like painted dogs or various hyena species, who people hate for no good reason at all.
