African wild dogs launch relentless attack on baby hyena

During a safari in the Kruger National Park we suddenly came across a pack of rare African wild dogs busy harassing a small group of hyenas. The rivalry between these two predator species is extreme as they continuously compete for the same food sources. After chasing off the hyenas, the wild dogs stood around checking their surroundings to make sure there were no other hyenas nearby. Suddenly a baby hyena that was hiding in the thick bush right in front of them came out and made an attempt to escape. The wild dogs immediately saw the baby hyena and launched a relentless attack. As the hyena attempted to get away, the wild dogs quickly ran after it. One for one they attacked by biting the young hyena relentlessly. The hyena was screaming nonstop while being bitten from behind. At the same time the wild dogs made their characteristic and very excited bird-like twittering call while attacking. To our surprise the baby hyena eventually got away and ran off into the bush. This sighting was a classic example of the brutality that exist between Africa’s top predators. Everybody on the vehicle was stunned by what we saw and definitely a sighting we will not forget for a long time.
