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.

Jackals small extreamly quick and faster than a hyena. and lions are bigger and much quicker and faster than hyenas.

but it's not that hyenas will not protect their own even against a male lion, it's much more risky and carful but it does happen here in this video. lion kills one and only two hyenas comes back. that's impressive. 



 

 

A slight nip and run is completely different than constant persistance and attempting to save the baby in the midst of no hope. Where were the hyenas when the lion first attacked? Hyena offer the same risk to jackals as lions do to hyena, Death.
Still, for two hyena to even come back and attempt it is still impressive, but I think in terms of what can be done, a hyena is far more equipped to do damage to a lion than a jackal is equipped to do damage to a Hyena.
Hyena can kill Lions, jackals cannot kill hyena, no matter the number.

I watched the end of the doc, 14 individuals is not 20 or more, thats why I said "if they have enough #s" but In the same doc, wolf packs ran off multiple male grizzlies. Both examples are proven, both have occured. But the fact that they can run them off at all is impressive considering the immense size difference between the two.
