A lone lion wandered too close to a large hyena clan and immediately found himself surrounded. The hyenas began calling loudly and moving around him from different directions.
The lion repeatedly turned to face the closest attackers, using his size and strength to discourage them. But the hyenas had the advantage of numbers and continued pressing forward.
Eventually, the lion decided that retreat was the safest option. The encounter demonstrated the complicated rivalry between two of Africa’s most formidable predators.
