What did Instagram users say about this wildlife video?
“Hyena's lack of awareness is astounding, considering she's not at the top of the food chain. If that was a lion instead, she'd be done,” posted an Instagram user. “Wow, unreal camouflage! Makes you wonder how many times you’ve walked right past a leopard in the bush,” wondered another. “Me walking past my problems,” joked a third. “Even the leopard is in shock,” joined a fourth. “The camouflage is mad,” wrote a fifth.
A few, however, shared that the hyena was aware of the leopard’s presence. One such individual posted. “I think the hyena knew it was there. One thing you should know, that hyenas aren't afraid of leopards. Plus hyenas have a strong sense of smell. No way it was this close and didn't smell that kitty.”
