Why are hyenas, the king of Africa, afraid of Africans?

Because Africans are more ruthless than hyenas, they eat all kinds of meat, and they almost cut off all the hyenas, and humans are also its natural enemies, so of course they will be afraid.

The main reason for this is that the native people of Africa are very good at hunting, especially for hyenas, who know their habits very well and can hunt them completely, so this situation occurs.

This is because for thousands of years, the inhabitants of Africa have learned to tame and raise African hyenas, and they can face wild hyenas with the right medicine, so hyenas have known the horror of human beings since then.

Because Africans are good at using tools, and they have a unique way of hunting and taming wild animals.

Because the African hyenas we see that do not attack humans are all domesticated by Africans since childhood, and they have a certain affection for getting along with humans for a long time, so they are more docile; There are also some hyenas that are chained by Africans, and often beaten with sticks, so they dare not attack humans when they are afraid of being beaten. In addition, those African hyenas in the wild are still aggressive to humans, especially for African children.

Personality **IQ is not highAlthough the hyena is more cunning as a beast, its IQ is not very high, and it will be afraid of some things it does not understand, for example, when facing humans, humans are a species that they are difficult to understand, so they will have a certain fear and dare not easily attack humans. An adult alone with one or two hyenas will not dare to attack easily, especially when the adult has a stick or other tools in his hand, but when faced with a small child, the hyena is prone to tentative attacks. It's just that they don't have a high IQ, and it is said that if an African child takes a large branch or a wooden stick and puts it on his head, and shakes it and shouts loudly to make a sound, the hyena will be overwhelmed or even frightened.

Hyenas that do not dare to attack adults rarely attack humans have something to do with the fact that they like to eat carrion, and they prefer to eat leftover carrion for nothing than to hunt hard. When they choose to hunt targets, they mostly choose those animal cubs, and do not dare to hunt those adult large animals, and the same is true for people, they dare not attack easily for adult adults. But they still attack children who are left behind, and their hunting experience is that small animals are easy to deal with, and in this respect they are still smart, but they are easily chased away by children's bluffing and scaring behavior.

So in general, it's not that African hyenas don't attack humans, but that their IQ is crushed by humans, plus they are suspicious and sick, so they can't get benefits in front of humans.

Because the food this dog eats is mainly carrion, it does not like to take the initiative to attack others. But if it is provoked, it may also attack people.

Because of timidity. Hyenas are thin and timid. Don't dare to attack creatures that are taller and stronger than yourself.

It's not that you don't attack, but that the attackers are gone, so you're afraid.

Hyenas and African dingoes are both social animals, and a single dino generally does not compete with hyena packs, because it is only half the size of a wild dog, about 120 kg, and adult hyenas are more than 70 kg. 3 adult hyenas will repel a wild dog. Hyenas are not afraid of wild dogs when the number sequence is three times that of a lioness.

But if an adult dingo is there in the pack, the hyena will obediently disperse. They won't risk their lives to fight lions.

Generally speaking, hyenas will not go head-to-head with wild dogs, because the size difference is too large, wild dogs far exceed hyenas in attack power, and adult wild dogs can easily kill hyenas. Nor will the hyena pack compete with the dingoes at the cost of the lives of five or six of their companions. Wild dogs and spotted hyenas, whichever side is alone will be bullied by the other.

It can be said that dogs that are not guarded by male wild dogs will generally lose to hyenas, and in the case of male wild dog guards, generally hyenas do not dare to get close.

How scared are hyenas of wild dogs? are all alone, and the hyenas dare not get up on the ground and admit it in seconds!

The eating habits of the hyena that exist in the African hyena have effectively prevented the occurrence of infectious diseases in the grassland, and many germs will be completely killed in the body of the hyena.

The important role they play in nature is undeniable. By preying on other herbivores.

The spotted hyena controls the population of herbivores and prevents the degradation of herbivores due to overabundance of herbivores, which eventually leads to the collapse of the entire grassland ecosystem. In this regard, spotted hyenas play with lions and leopards.

Cheetahs and other similar roles. By picking up the carcasses of various animals, spotted hyenas also play an important role in preventing the spread of disease.

The difference between African dingo and hyena is:

1. The coat color of African wild dogs is even more unique, like an overturned paint bottle - brown, red, yellow, black and white are intertwined on the body, like a zebra, and their fur has a strange and gorgeous feeling.

It can be said that in the African savannah, there are no two wild dogs with exactly the same color spots. Although the hair of the African dingo is gorgeous, it is basically short and sparse, and even bare in some places. African wild dogs are very small and flexible, with an average body length of about 100 cm, a tail length of 30-45 cm, and a general weight of 17-36 kg.

African hyenas, on the other hand, are much larger and less attractive than wild dogs. For example, the average male spotted hyena weighs about 67 kilograms, which is basically twice the weight of the African wild dog. Hyenas are mostly covered with dull yellow-brown or tan hair, with patchwork of black-brown stripes that make them look dirty.

2. African wild dogs like to fight in groups, and they mainly rely on sight rather than smell when hunting, and they will take long-term tracking methods for prey, and the speed of pursuit is generally 55 kilometers per hour. Although the teeth of the African wild dog can bite bones, the bite force is far less than that of the African hyena, and because the forelimbs do not have upper claws, it is difficult for the African wild dog to hold its prey in the hunt.

However, the African hyena is stronger than the wild dog in both aspects, the hyena has large teeth, a very thick tapered premolar, well-developed cleft teeth, and a thick and strong jaw that allows it to bite through the bones of any animal, sucking bone marrow.

In pursuit of their prey, hyenas can reach speeds of 50 to 60 kilometers per hour. With this speed and holdability, the hyena is strong enough to chase any animal it wants to hunt. So, if it is a heads-up, in terms of combat effectiveness, the hyena will also be superior, after all, as a strong medium-sized animal, the hyena is able to drag prey weighing up to 90 kg for about 100 meters.

3. From the point of view of living habits, both are social animals, but the gender of the leader is different, the African wild dog is generally led by the male leader to hunt the group, while the African hyena is a typical matriarchal society, generally led by the female leader.

4. Compared with hyenas, African wild dogs prefer to fight in groups, while African hyenas also fight in groups, but the degree of freedom is higher than that of wild dogs, and most of the time they fight individually.
