Movies and folktales seem to portray lions and hyenas as mortal enemies in constant competition. But just how accurate is this portrayal? From what zoologists can tell, it's a very realistic description. One outstanding example is the observations of a lion described in the book 'Hunting With the Moon'. This lion was called Ntchwaidumela by researchers, a name which means "He who greets with fire".

In one caption, this particular lion was referred to as 'The Hyena Killer'. He was seen actively pursuing and killing hyenas. One incident described by the authors involved a pack of hyenas challenging The two other adult males of Ntchwaidumela's pride, Mandevu, and Motsumi, one of the dominant lionesses of the pride. Ntchwaidumela made a steady charge at the matriarch of the pack, speeding up as he closed in. when he caught up with her, he pulled her down and killed her. In the description of the attack, he seemed to focus only on the hyena, ignoring all else around him.

This type of conflict between hyenas and lions seems common. It is not always over a kill, some accounts were described where the two predators met and made threat gestures to each other, such as marking territory. Most animals rarely mark territory in the presence of another species, but only to warn members of their own species to avoid the area.

Besides threats, there were instances like the descriptions of Ntchwaidumela where lions actively hunted down and killed hyenas. In this case, the hyenas were not eaten. An effort was put forth to attack them. Had it been only an attack to remove the danger, it would seem that Nthcwaidumela would not pursue the hyena once she began her retreat. Usually this is the case, when the danger has passed no further effort is put forth. I have seen an example of this in a documentary about wild dogs. An intruding hyena was fought off until it retreated. When the pups were no longer in danger, the dogs ended the attack. Ntchwaidumela was acting more offensive than defensive, as if he wanted to be sure the hyenas he hated would never come back. As Dereck Joubert wrote in his book 'Hunting With the Moon' :
"Anyone who watches a violent contact between lions and hyenas, one that is not related to food, can see plainly that there is a blood feud between them that is uncannily similar to those at which our own species is so adept."

Other lions and the hyena recognise Mandevu and Ntchwaidumela on sight, and fear them.

except that cocky ho!!
