“Machiavellian Maneuvers: Hyenas’ Clever Plan to Overwhelm an Adult Wild Buffalo”

Although considered a scavenger, in fact, hyenas are extremely effective predators, a large part of their food source coming from hunting live prey. In Africa, hyenas are second only to lions in strength when it comes to one-on-one close combat. The hyena’s favorite prey includes: zebra, wildebeest or wild buffalo.

Due to being attacked from many sides by predators, the buffalo could not manage in time. When the buffalo lost focus, a hyena stealthily launched a poison move aimed directly at the danger of its prey.

The attack was too dangerous, the buffalo showed pain, lost all its strength and collapsed to the ground. Although it tried to get up to run away, all its efforts were not rewarded when the hyenas persisted.
