tell the media and society to stop perpetuating wildlife as something to kill and murder. when I was out in the desert a decade ago seeing family and my car broke down (i was like 19) and i had to walk several miles back to their house and took a shortcut through vacant land on the outskirts of the town, I had many wild coyotes follow me the entire way. must have been a small group of a half dozen. they kept running back and forth around so much and going in and around scrub bushes it was hard to tell which ones were the same ones and if more had come up. i stopped and showed them my hands and pockets and they smelled me and let me reach out and pet their backs. they stood right alongside me like my own dogs do. i had a leather belt on and they kept wanting to take my belt off any time they thought i couldn't see them. they were very sweet and curious, they never once were mean. they have a very unique trot to their gait, they just seem to float across the ground the way their paws move. they are also very lightweight, about the weight of a collie. i took a bottle of water out for one and poured it into a hubcap i found from an old car on the way and he drank the water all up. they just followed me behind me and alongside me the entire way back. my uncle couldnt believe it. when i went up on his deck and banged on the door he jumped back from the window and he said "what the hell is this?" i said "its my posse, let us in". lol

@@MrWolfSnack That's really a cool story! :D

@@MrWolfSnack I agree with you. Example is that a lot of people hate sharks and other animals, yet there’s barely any shark related deaths every year. Sharks are just chill, and most don’t even attack when there’s blood nearby. Some people have to realise that, like us, not everyone of a certain species is bad. They’re like us, some are aggressive, others are nice. Also that story was really nice :)

They don't think that way. Like sharks, they're likely not to even see you as food. Hyenas are a very tamable animal believe it or not, it's just not a good life for them and one bite, even a playful and well mannered one, can seriously damage you since they're evolved to crush bones for nutrition with their jaws. Regardless though, they're wonderful animals and like dogs (even though they are their own species entirely), they understand social behavior and will show affection when rewarded and when hungry. Because of their raw strength and sharp teeth however, it's difficult to train them without restraint since they can playfully bite one another more safely than with humans, even though it wouldn't be aggressive whatsoever -- still dangerous nonetheless.

It should be. Humans are without exception the most dangerous animals on the planet.

They have two know interactions with humans, apex killer and friendly food giver (there is a whole thing about farmers feeling hyenas to keep them from hunting livestock) and the hyenas are taking a dangerous gamble.

well any animal would be cautious people are fucking huge compared to most animals especially when in vehicles

@@user-hk8yp7cw1v those aren't mammals, pretty much all carnivorous mammals carry parasites. It's also inefficient to eat meat eating mammals, we eat grazing animals because they can digest plant matter and turn it into flesh we can digest with little energy lost. Carnivores expend too much energy chasing prey and their meat is tough and stringy as a result.

Hyenas are literally better than chimps when it comes to solving problems cooperatively

But I love hyenas. Why would I underestimate them?

A lot of people don't realise that humans behave like many other mammals, maybe with a little more intelligence. The real difference is ability to learn stored knowledge.

Allosaurus They’re actually smart as hell, though I don’t think you’d understand that since their brain size is probably larger than yours.

@Allosaurus I know man, this is such a clear case of lost in translation. I don't quite know how he mistook what you said.

I don't dislike them, but I get why they get a bad rep. They are smelly and they are opportunistic scavengers, giving them a certain aura of shiftyness. They are cautious and curious here, but that doesn't equal friendly. They'd eat you if they thought they could get away with it. Considering they are social animals, they can learn to socialize with humans too. In essence they are just smelly, shifty-looking wolves and wolves used to get a major bad rep back in the day.

Mike because they are ruthless killing machines maybe that’s why you idiot? You think everybody needs to like them just because they look „adorable“ to you? 😂 wtf is wrong with these people nowadays

However, they tend to grab a piece of you and retreat rather than devour you whole as many campers who have had their faces ripped off while sleeping would attest.

The Hyenas were just as scared. Noticed when the guy move his arm they jumped back.

Once in a lifetime opportunity, nothing bad happened, memories made.... Seemed like a pretty smart move... P.S. It would seem that Captain Hindsight, appears in many faces, huh?

A hyena wouldn't bite you. They're too smart. You aren't a prey, you're an alien to them. They didn't look hunting, just curious. Also attacking a human has a high record of ending in death for the hyena. Not a worthy risk. They're just playful, curious because that isn't usual for them.

​@@maykonbrasileiro761No, they weren't. That would be if he was aggressive against them or offered food. He's being the most passive/neutral to their curious instinct. Look how just by moving his hand they got scared. They fear you more than you are afraid of them.

Ehhh, what does the strongest bite force have to do with anything? Wouldn't a tendency towards attacking humans, be the more legitimate threat here? Lucky??

Highkey Activated hyenas are incredibly intelligent. Those two in particular probably seen more humans than you think. And probably watched their pack or so ignore humans. Not every animal is savage and just bites everything. If you watched the video, you could obviously see that the tail wasn’t up or swaying.

@@adorablecenturion8436 oh that's a relief..

@@cybernautadventurer Either way itd obviously be a terrible idea to get close to a wild hyena that doesnt know you lol

Exactly

It was only curious in the sense that it was wondering if it could get away with grabbing the free meat hanging out the side of the car. Everything in this video suggest to me that it was building up to an attack. It showed little fear and was testing what it could get away with. Given enough time, that hyena would have nipped. Animals don't always broadcast their intention to attack. Sometimes it is a split second decision that comes out of the blue. That's why seasoned animal handlers that seemingly should have known better can and frequently do get nipped. They never saw it coming because there were no signs. That is why you never leave a wild animal encounter to chance, particularly with animals as powerful as these. The default should always be "this thing can bite, I should keep my distance."

@@Skippy19812 Just because it was sniffing him doesn't mean it was going to rip his arm off. If the hyena really wanted to it would've done so already, but it didn't. It was probably their first time seeing human contact which is why the hyena's were being curious and cautious. Just look at when the dude simply moved his arm a little, both of the hyena's backed off. I've encountered coyotes, raccoons, opossums, etc.. while hiking in California and all of those animals just left me alone. They aren't bloodthirsty beings looking to kill us, they're more afraid of us. The only times an animal would really attack a human is if they're defending their babies, if we are in their territory, or if we provoke them.
