Horned Powerhouse: Hyena’s Retreat When Confronted by the Overwhelming Strength of a Topi’s Horns

October 30, 2023 by Pham Hien

The parents of the victim, a young Topi hook antelope, did not leave the hungry hyena alone as it was attempting to kill the little animal.

The two parent antelopes took turns ramming the hyena, causing it to be repeatedly hit, but hunger made the hyena no longer care about this physical pain. It decided to risk its life to fill this stomach.

Although parents have done their best, but in front of this stubborn opponent, they have to helplessly watch their children being harmed and eaten. Survival life is always harsh from the moment the baby antelope is born and that is the inevitable law of life.

The hyena is the most common carnivore in Africa. There are four species of hyena: brown, spotted, striped and the lesser known wolf hyena. While the spotted hyena is the largest species, all hyena species have large heads, strong jaws and long forelimbs.

As sharp and cunning predators, this animal mainly follows lions, leopards…, and then takes their food to survive. In the above encounters, hyenas are rarely killed because of their reckless nature, sharp teeth and overwhelming opponents in numbers.

In addition, hyenas also have some special abilities such as tracking and using scavengers like vultures to locate successful hunts.

Animal researchers investigating hyena intelligence are still trying to figure out its limits. Hyenas live in a complex society with complicated rules. They are considered to be more intelligent than other carnivores, such as lions.

With inherent cunning combined with herd strength, hyenas have always been a constant threat in the savanna to other animals. When encountering them, the animals will tend to shyly retreat to preserve their lives.
