also there are videos of hyenas beeing chased by wildebeest, but also pictures of single hyenas killing adult cape buffalo so hyenas are very complicated with that. 

but one thing for sure a dominant hyena in action, is something very few animals can battle down. in my opinion a wolf stands no chance at all! not because I like the hyena more, or because I don't respect the power of a wolf, but hyenas are to tough. for me even a single hyena is right up there with leopards and cougars, and the wolf a few steps behind. 



 

 

Thats your opinion, I don't agree, lets just leave it at that.
