A second added, “Hyenas are so smart. Even though they are very fearful of a male lion they know that he can only bite one hyena at a time.”

“Much respect to the three initial hyenas that responded. Very brave! It feels like they were trying to call the rest of the family, but no one wanted any business with the male lion. Still, they pushed on and saved their clan member,” commented a third. (Also Read: Buffalo saves its friend from lion’s claws with powerful headbutts)
