An incredible showdown between spotted hyenas and wild dogs was witnessed near the Skukuza Camp in the Kruger National Park. It was pack vs clan in the Kruger National Park when some wild dogs and spotted hyenas took each other on in full view of spectators.
A flurry of movement and noise filled the air as the two carnivore groups clashed. Both hyenas and wild dogs are fairly ruthless hunters. Both species have been known to tear their prey apart while it is still alive.
However, what happens when a clan of hyenas, as they are called, crosses paths with a pack of African wild dogs?, The experts say the outcome depends on several key factors, including numbers and the context of the encounter. In this instance, there was no carcass or food to contend for. This was possibly a territorial conflict.
