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.

Here we see how a wolf pack and a hyena clan take down similar sized dangerous megafauna, probably the top range of prey items each can actually target

Wolf pack taking down bison





Hyena clan taking down buffalo





Wolves seem to prefer the chase and drag down to kill whereas hyenas seem to prefer the inconspicuous wondering wherein the whole clan eventually surrounds the prey and simply eats it alive. Generally wolves target bison and other dangerous prey like Ox more often than hyenas target buffalo (the one in the video looks lame as well), so I would conclude that the wolf pack is more effective in taking down big bovine prey.
