00:02 Hyenas are among the most striking animals on the planet.
00:14 Along with the lions, they impress viewers of safaris
00:18 and inspire documentaries about the animal world.
00:20 (hyenas laughing)
00:26 This species hides a lot more information
00:29 about their lives than you might think,
00:31 from its reproduction mode to its feeding.
00:33 Hyenas are challenging for many species that live here.
00:41 From prey to their adversaries,
00:45 but there is an opponent who is very dangerous,
00:48 even for hyenas.
00:49 When the black mamba meets the hyena,
00:54 the giggle could end up getting the worst of it
00:56 and losing your life.
00:57 (hyena growling)
01:00 A hyena is fast,
01:03 but they do not have the same agility as cats.
01:06 And with that being said,
01:09 their ability to dodge the bites of a black mamba is rare.
01:13 Although these encounters are rare,
01:17 when they do, they often go their way.
01:20 However, when they decide to face each other,
01:26 things can get ugly.
01:28 Hyenas do not usually have snakes on their menu,
01:34 except for the African python,
01:36 which is large and will provide you
01:38 with a good amount of meat.
01:39 So, she does not look for a black mamba to kill,
01:45 but in cases where a hyena gets too close
01:47 and makes a mamba angry,
01:49 that could be the end of it.
01:54 A black mamba bite can kill a hyena in a matter of hours.
01:58 The bitten hyena will not be able to escape
02:02 and will have a sad end.
02:04 Hyenas can be naughty,
02:10 to the point of being a big headache for lions.
02:12 But when your opponent is the most dangerous creeper
02:15 in the area,
02:16 it is a different matter.
