There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

beeing trowed arround by a young bison is absoulutley nothing when you discuss in durability against other carnivores, spotted hyenas get's attacked by 10 wild dogs survives, a smaller hyena spicies the striped hyena can walk in and steal the kill from 12 arabian wolves.
to draw a comparison wolves get's killed often by cougars, and they meet far less often than leopards (which I see as a much tougher apponent, than a cougar) and hyenas, and hyenas and leopards respect eachother, but extreamly rarely kills adult indeviduvals. and hyenas do not see a leopard as a threat, but a respected oppnent.
I'll leave the debate ¨hyena vs wolf¨with this video, would a wolf survive that?....no.....
It's common knowledge to who?
I can show wild dogs running off hyennas and the arabian wolves are much smaller than a hyenna.
We are talking about same sized animals, aka Grey Wolves and those guys will fight a grizzly for a kill. A hyenna pack of 20 wont even challenge a healthy lone male lion for a kill.
A young bison?
You mean a massive bison and the wolf never stops attacking after fighting an animals 10xs it self in body weight?
Showing one video where I can show another of a hyenna being killed in seconds with one bite means what exactly?
You can't just cherry pick a video and say "see" and I can show another video contradicting it and you turn a blind eye to it.
Durability is immeasureable, it comes down to courage or heart. There is no animal with more courage or heart than canines. They are the most tenacious and couragous animals alive, I think most would agree with that. Animals, especially canines will keep going until they die. So unless you can put a study where they would test for pain tolerance, pain received etc, is measured, You can never ever say its "common knowledge" since there is nothing "Common" about it.
