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.

Spotted Hyena (Crocuta crocuta)

Found this story about smart hyena on dailymail.co.uk :)


A crafty hyena evaded a hungry lion - by hiding inside an elephant carcass.
The spotted hyena was feasting on the dead animal when seven male lions found the rotting animal.
As they approached it quickly went and hid in the belly cavity and managed to keep his cool as the big cats ate just inches away.

But as they moved across the carcass he was eventually rumbled and decided to sprint out the animal.
The lion gave chase across the Mara Naboisho Conservancy in Kenya.

The photos were taken by wildlife conservationists and guides Stratton Hatfield, 23, and Britt Klaassen, 22, were watching as the drama unfolded.
