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.

they are much more durable than wolves, have stamina, strength and if hyenas (which can be quite easy been scarred) really want to fight they are monsters! can't see a single wolf approatch a lioness and sucsessfully steal the kill. (as some spotted hyenas actually manages)
and remember that hyena stealing from the arabian wolves are a striped hyena and they are aswell quite small in Arabia!
wolves are much better pack hunters, and are way more cooperative, while hyenas usually hunts in small groups or alone!
I highly doubt a hyenna has better stamina than a wolf. Wolf hunts can last for hours just like wild dogs. They strictly tire out their prey when its large. I have seen wolves take on Male bears, that is just as impressive as a hyenna taking on a lioness. Lets be honest neither is going to be able to contend with the largest predator in their territory unless they have #'s. BTW there is no proof of a hyenas "durability" being higher or lower than any other predator.
If you are talking about max size for both, there is a 10kg difference between the two, there is no way to say one is going to be stronger than the other.
This is what Canid cooperation would do to a single hyenna when put to use.
