A lone hyena’s early morning visit to a waterhole resulted in an unexpected brush with death. Were it not for its sharp reactions and superior stamina, this story would not have ended well for the hyena.
Louis Le Roux witnessed the hyena’s narrow escape from the clutches of a pride of lions. He sent his footage to Latest Sightings, which was filmed at Gharagab Camp, Kgalagadi National Park.
Louis told Latest Sightings that after a long drive to the camp, an uneasy feeling interrupted his good sleep. After hearing lions calling at 3:30 AM, he was again disturbed at 5:00 AM and got up to investigate.
