Birmingham Coalition Male Lineage

Hyena bites wouldn't even pierce the skin of an adult male lion unless he stands there and allows them to hold on him forever.

Contrary to popular belief, hyena bites aren't that strong, in fact they are considerably weaker than that of leopards, the 2007 bite force study by Christiansen & Wroe shows it.

Also, no clan of hyenas would even try to engage 2 male lions like Styx and Nkuhuma. While Manghenis being 6 would have been able to fight them off to protect the cubs.

It's already incredibly surprising that Styx died to lionesses, being killed by hyenas would be unheard of, hyenas even in big numbers rarely kill lone leopards or lionesses. Reply
