Lion vs. Hyena

[Bryan Pereira]

These lions were with a buffalo kill when the hyenas started appearing.
They soon got tired of them getting too close and this scene unfolded in a few seconds.

I decided to exclude the most graphic pictures of the hyena ripping the lions jaw.
Its on my site in the gallery if you want to see it as part of the set.

Nikon Z5 28-300mm1/2000 f5.6 150mm iso 400

Did it get away?

It did, I think the lion was more wounded

Did it get away?

It did, a little wounded though as were the lions

Awesome action, Hyenas have very tough skin and a bite more powerful than the lion`s I believe, not to be messed with lightly!
