An impressive video has emerged of a lioness ambushing a hyena and attacking it.

The footage, shot on July 1 in Kruger National Park in South Africa shows a hyena walking walking along the road, apparently injured.

Then, a lioness, hidden in the bushes, jumps onto the hyena and start following it.

"While the footage might be a little hard to stomach, it's a great example of the hate between Lions and Hyenas," the filmer wrote.

"The problem is that both the lions and hyenas hunt similar preys, cover almost the same ground as well as are the scavengers of the same animal remains, therefore, both possess competition for each other," they added,

This Lioness scared the living daylights out of the injured Hyena.Few creatures would dare confront a proud Lioness.While the footage might be a little hard to stomach, it's a great example of the hate between Lions and Hyenas. Hyenas have a rep as being lowly scavengers, but the social animals are actually skilled hunters and often bring down their own prey. In the Kruger National Park, experts estimate that as much as 50 percent of their food comes from prey that they have caught themselves!
Though the Lions are considered as one of the most powerful animals, but still they are also forced to face competition from the hyenas and it is mainly for the food. The problem is that both the lions and hyenas hunt similar preys, cover almost the same ground as well as are the scavengers of the same animal remains, therefore, both possess competition for each other. Whoever wins the duel can feast on the huge meal.
