Canids and Hyaenids Predation

A solitary spotted hyena killed a bull kudu

"This big Male Kudu (+-250kg) was brought down by a single Hyena (+-75kg). An incredible show of strength, skill and perseverance by gripping on its upper tail and hanging on, ultimately causing it to succumb to pain and exhaustion. In under a minute there were 3 Hyena, and in a just few more minutes they were 12. The Kudu was still alive for a while as the Hyenas gutted it from behind. They sliced every piece of meat, and crunched every bone, leaving nothing nut the horns. A newfound respect for these creatures, I have never seen anything brutal yet so ecologically essential."
