AFRICAN WILD DOG VS SPOTTED HYENA - Which Is Stronger? Both apex predators on the African landscape, wild dogs and hyenas are alike and different in surprising ways. Spotted coats give the two species a similar appearance, but a spotted hyena can outweigh an African wild dog by a hundred pounds. What’s more, hyenas are more closely related to cats than to canines. The two species also have different reputations. Wild dogs are endangered, while hyenas have been vilified by popular culture as thieves. Both are efficient hunters, but while wild dogs are known to be very successful hunters and rarely scavenge, hyenas are dedicated scavengers and can get by without hunting if they have to. According to researchers, hyenas often use their size and numbers to drive off other predators—including lions, leopards, and cheetahs—from whatever they’ve killed, while wild dogs generally don’t. This wild game is a struggle for survival. Who will get to eat? Hyenas and wild dogs are top predators competing in an unforgiving landscape. It’s a classic battle that plays out over and over again in the African bush where these animals compete for the same food resources. In this video, we will try to answer a question that many wildlife enthusiasts have asked themselves at least once. Who is stronger between the African wild dog or the spotted hyena? But before that, we will make a comparative presentation of the two animals. ➽Consider to subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI5RX1o0cE5SKwHWRj_GVqA ➽Audio: www.bensound.com Jungle - Aakash Gandhi Epic Journey - Yung Logos Journeyman - Aakash Gandhi Claim of Thrones - RKVC Impact Intermezzo by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100620 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ ➽Narrated by: Henry Morse ➽Contact: factsmachine.ro@gmail.com ➽Credits: https://www.flickr.com/photos/reginahart/26515169808/ https://flic.kr/p/XbfBxq https://flic.kr/p/nomTRt https://flic.kr/p/2epLbiX https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_hyena#/media/File:Brown_Hyena_(Parahyaena_brunnea)_(6472926331).jpg https://flic.kr/p/pin5bz https://flic.kr/p/2g2PZSc https://flic.kr/p/2kJ7bi8 https://flic.kr/p/ea2bHR https://flic.kr/p/2k7eSLu https://flic.kr/p/2eKgTCh https://flic.kr/p/2iMQ7mE https://flic.kr/p/nfpvKq https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:African_Wild_Dog_Distrbution.jpg https://flic.kr/p/oZw7ti https://flic.kr/p/2gbpvse https://flic.kr/p/aTLnQR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_hyena#/media/File:Spotted_Hyena_at_White_River.jpg https://flic.kr/p/SbeSHx https://flic.kr/p/iLQhd9 https://flic.kr/p/SaEZng https://flic.kr/p/eiWW7A https://flic.kr/p/r8avgH https://flic.kr/p/2a48FCE https://flic.kr/p/cEXVS7 https://flic.kr/p/TLdJgi https://flic.kr/p/2k7iGJA https://flic.kr/p/2fNJUr8 https://flic.kr/p/2k7iG7y https://www.flickr.com/photos/myfwcmedia/6923881457/ https://flic.kr/p/nhfD8t https://flic.kr/p/6WHtyV https://flic.kr/p/23BhRZH https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_hyena#/media/File:Spotted_hyena_with_skeleton.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hyena_arriving.jpg https://flic.kr/p/bFbcCM https://flic.kr/p/duoR9N https://flic.kr/p/9AcD1A https://flic.kr/p/PzmhSU https://flic.kr/p/duoU2f https://flic.kr/p/dwFfX5 https://flic.kr/p/NkFuBv https://flic.kr/p/2itgeRH https://flic.kr/p/nGn7wY https://flic.kr/p/2isQYuz https://flic.kr/p/hVhYns https://flic.kr/p/2g8Fe36 https://flic.kr/p/iNntNL https://flic.kr/p/aTLnxX https://flic.kr/p/sH7sx8 https://www.flickr.com/photos/berniedup/6493008663/ https://flic.kr/p/BLDzwx https://flic.kr/p/226SE6j https://flic.kr/p/LkAKW5 https://flic.kr/p/9AcB9b https://flic.kr/p/LKmJxg #WildDog #Hyena #WildLife
