In the caption of the post, Latest Sightings informed, “Hyenas are known to steal food from lions. Hyenas are opportunistic scavengers and will often target lion kills to steal their food. They are highly skilled at scavenging and have powerful jaws that allow them to break through bones to access the meat. Hyenas may also engage in confrontations with lions to try and steal their kills. However, it's important to note that lions are also capable of stealing from hyenas, and there is a constant competition between the two species for food.”

An individual wrote, "I’ll give Hyenas credit here. They’re always so alert. Even when they’re comfortable and eating they’re always looking around their surroundings."

A second commented, "Hyenas are also capable hunters. Don't diss them. They do hunt largely at night, so their success often goes unseen. Yes, they scavenge, but all predators will if they can. Food is hard to come by, so freebies are very welcome!"

"Hyenas are brave, strong, tough, rugged, smart, durable, resilient, and have the strongest jaw, neck, and heart. Hyenas are gorgeous and amazing," expressed another.

A fourth said, "Great catch on film."
