Hyena under attack… by Leon Molenaar Wild South Africa Kruger National Park

This matriarch Spotted Hyena was defending herself and her grown-up pups from a mock attack by a pack of 6 sub-adult African Wild Dogs, who were apparently just having some fun.

Hyena are very social animals within their families. They tend to stick to a territory and are smart group hunters.
