INTENSE MOMENT DOGS FEND OFF HYENA IN FIERY BATTLE WITH VID By LAKSHYARTHA SHARMA A dramatic wildlife showdown unfolded when a pack of dogs successfully brought down an impala ram—only to have their hard-earned meal challenged by an opportunistic hyena. The hyena attempted to steal what remained of the carcass, but the move proved costly. Acting swiftly and with overwhelming force, the pack of African wild dogs turned on the intruder, defending their kill in a fierce attack. The hyena stood little chance and was ultimately driven away. Cape hunting dogs and hyenas are known as long-standing rivals in the African wild, often clashing over food in brutal encounters where survival is everything. The intense moment was captured on video by Thabisani Buthelezi from Mbombela, South Africa, who witnessed the raw moment. One viewer commented: “I would have thought the hyena would have called for backup or been stronger than the wild dogs.” Reflecting on the encounter, Thabisani said:“ In this eternal feud, there’s no room for mercy, only the law of the wild. It was a bad day to be a hyena.” ENDS
