Buffaloes are hyena's biggest
prey.
They can tear the bones
of buffalo with their powerful
jaws, which permits them to
break bones that even a lion
could not crush.
Hyenas usually target calves
because their defenses are
still weak.
But they have to
kill the calf quickly,
because adult buffalo will
usually come to help.
Adult buffalo,
especialy the aggresive ones,
are very dangerous and
can kills or injured many
hyenas.
However, if the hyenas
are very hungry, they will also
attack the adult buffalo.
They will continue to
chase the buffalo until
it gets tired and finally
falls down.
The hyenas then
would attack and tear it apart
one by one.
Rhinos are very big animals and
known for their energy.
Adult rhinoceros have
no real predators in the
wild,other than humans.
Young rhinos can be a
prey to big cats,
crocodiles, African wild
dogs, and hyenas.
They are susceptible to
predators because they do
not have the size,
aggression or strength to
defend themselves
against wild predators.
Their curiosity sometimes drives
these kids away from their
protective mothers as they
roam the plains and grasses of
his territory together.
Although rhinos are large and
aggressive and have a
reputation for being resilient,
they are very easily poache.
They visit water holes daily and
can be easily killed while
they drink.
Hyenas are an example of how
the cooperative form of hunting
can be dictated by the type of
prey, as well as the
predator s ability to hunt
and kill the different types
of prey.
Sometimes, Lion can fights with
Rhinoceros.
More often than not,
the rhino will win.
There have been cases of
lions preying on rhinos, but
that is with a coordinated
attack by an entire pride.
A single lion
attacking a rhino typically
doesn t happen because such a
thing is generally
suicide.
Rhinos weigh at least a
ton, are very thick skinned,
pack a big horn and are really,
really strong.
For the record, hunts on cape
buffalo going wrong can end
with lions badly hurt or dead.
If the rhino can hook a horn into
a lion, they can easily fling
them into the air.
Obviously a lion wouldn t
attack a rhino head on, but
the problem is that a rhino is
so big it s very hard to see a
single lion actually do any
real damage without tiring
out.
A lion could try to use
it s greater ability to
cling to a rhino, but the
rhino would mostly likely
throw it off.
Trying to wear the rhino down
is only something that
works if there is a pride.
A lion trying to
hit and run would tire out
before the rhino does.
Lions instinctively
know this, which is why you
won t see a single lion
attack a rhino.
