“After a long day of searching for elusive cats, my group and I were driving back to the Phabeni Gate when we spotted movement in the distance. As we drew closer, we were thrilled to see a magnificent male lion strolling along the road, asserting his dominance.”
“While sitting with the lion, a shadow appeared in the road ahead. At first, we were unable to identify the figure. As it got closer, it became clear that the figure was a young hyena, oblivious to the danger it was getting itself into. What followed was a surreal and awe-inspiring scene as the lion began hunting the hyena cub. Despite our initial impulse to intervene, we knew that interfering would disrupt the natural balance of the environment. So we watched on with heavy hearts.”
“The lion proceeded to deliver a fatal blow to the young cub.” This resulted in instant death for the vulnerable cub.
Lions and hyenas are age-old enemies. Any opportunity to eliminate the other will not be missed. Lions have an intrinsic hatred for hyenas, as hyenas are known to bully lions off their kills. One-on-one, a hyena stands no chance. When the odds are in favor of the hyenas, the results are often in their favor.
“This was an extremely rare occurrence, as the last time I witnessed a hunt was five years ago. The lions’ instincts kicked in, and he was off. The young cub stood no chance.”
I couldn’t believe the footage we had captured and was excited to share it with others who shared my passion for wildlife. The Latest Sightings app is an excellent tool for anyone looking to stay up-to-date on the latest sightings and connect with a community of wildlife enthusiasts.

I see fields of green. Red roses too. And I think to myself…. what a wonderful LIONNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
He should’ve paid attention to the road!
Road kill!

Some people go on safari and there is one thing they hope not to see, others go hoping to see that one thing.
That man high as shit
Yeah he was the bastard
Come on help little guy!
Many many young Male Hyenas end up like this. Ousted from the pack and literally left to the Lions
Why the baby!?!😭
Lions don't like hyenas apparently.
That’s bad parenting…..
Simham should hatamarcha Hyena
Thanks. Well done Latest sightings dhanyawad. Hyena went straight into a lion's deathtrap. Wow!!! Very cruel and deadly Wild Life of animals. Excellent video.👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Makes me think whether the Hyena cub's death is actually man's doing…because cub was following the (man made) road as it seemed an easier path for it then walked into the Lions way. 🦁
That one friend who always wants personal space at family gatherings: The lion
The entire family: The cub
u looks really boring to this lion. He cant eat in peace. gg animal protectors.
Lions hate hyenas. Rarely will you see a lion eat a hyena, they kill and leave them.
I can hear Hindi ,wow
Enmity, brutality, savageness, cruelty………. name it that hyena cub has witnessed
لماذا الاسد لا يأكل الضبع ؟
Mufasa 😂 mufasa mufasa mufasa! 😂😂😂😂😂
The fact that the lion is killing one of theirs to simply show how much hate he has towards their kind shows how much intelligence this beast has.
This makes me wonder if theres any animal other than the Lion that attacks out of spite
Human interference in wildlife sucks! The lion walks away from his kill because humans need a better picture. I hope he went back and that cub didn’t die for nothing
Hyenas are not yummy I guess. Never seen lions eating them.
Surprised animals still walk the road in-between long grass and terrain, it's literally a death-trap.
Can you post footage of Bob Jr's recent death?
Why didn't you eat it ??? For no reason going us all anxiety. Show off
And his not even gonna eat it eishh
I'm an expert and i'm afraid to say the cub is unlikely to recover from this. Get well soon!
I could have gone without seeing that
Poor pup!
When your mom says don't play outside, but you won't listen!
🎶 La la lalela lalela AH! 😱… 🪦
Causally walking toward is own death
