In the wild, both lions and hyenas are fearsome predators. With sharp teeth and outstanding health, they can hunt and kill many large prey such as hippos, zebras, wild boars, giraffes, antelopes…

Even if given the opportunity, lions and hyenas are ready to fight fiercely or kill their opponents. According to scientists, the reason for this is not because they want to eat each other, but because they compete for food sources.
Because, when food sources are scarce, predators often kill their competitors. This not only helps the winner expand their hunting territory, but also makes the enemy afraid, not daring to compete for prey.

In addition to fights between adults, lions and hyenas are also willing to kill their opponent’s cubs when given the opportunity. However, they rarely eat their opponents, but only kill them and leave their bodies behind.
