Scavenging Strategies:
Hyenas are expert scavengers and can steal kills from lions, especially if the lion pride is outnumbered or weakened. They use their impressive stamina to harass lions, wearing them down until they abandon their prey. This competitive scavenging dynamic often leads to intense confrontations between the two species.
