Local Hyena clan takes Buffalo calf…

By Morné Hamlyn on October 13, 2008

It was a never ending struggle at first, but the Hyenas got the better of it…

The young buff was brave and stood its ground in the morning with this single Hyena…
The chase...
The Hyena pulled it down but the calf managed to get back up again and carried on fighting through the afternoon! It got too much when the rest of the clan showed up and the calf was sorted out in a few minutes…

The clan fed into the next morning and pulled some scraps to the nearby den…
Baby food...
Take care,

  1. I have mixed emotions about this sighting… on one hand I would have loved to have been there…but on the other Im not so sure I want to see an animal being eaten alive…….

    Thanks for sharing though.
