Chapter 731: How Hyenas Prey

Although the hyenas are also barking, the sounds they make are not very loud, that is, the sound of 'ooh'. If you don't see them up close, it's hard to hear them.

When Chu Ye and the others were more than a hundred meters away from this place just now, they could only hear the roar of the lion, but not the cry of the hyena at all.

In fact, there are a lot of hyenas barking in this place. They are a hyena group, consisting of fifteen or sixteen adult hyenas and a dozen cubs.

Every day, these dozen adult hyenas, led by the hyena queen, go everywhere in search of food. For hyenas, the most important thing every day is to find food. After all, it takes a lot of food to feed a dozen cubs.

Hyenas are actually very hard-working animals. Their hunting behavior is to chase their prey until the prey is too tired to run away. This way of hunting is very tiring and a great test of an animal's physical strength and endurance.

However, the success rate of this hunting method is still relatively high. After all, when the prey has no strength to run, it will be much easier to kill it.

However, this method of hunting is indeed very tiring. Hyenas generally do not like to use this method. They only use this 'stupid' method to hunt when they have no other choice. If they can get some relatively easy prey, they won't use that kind of 'clumsy' method to hunt.

However, it is also difficult to get some easier prey. Because there is no prey that is willing to surrender when faced with a predator, they will definitely try their best to escape.

Therefore, it is very difficult for hyenas to find food that is relatively easy to obtain. It can be said that encountering such a good thing basically depends on luck.

Generally speaking, on the savannah, the prey most accessible to predators are those that have been seriously injured. Because these prey were seriously injured, they may not be able to walk, or they may only be able to walk slowly and cannot run.

When hyenas encounter such prey, they will immediately go over and surround the injured prey. Because when they encounter such prey, they feel that the prey has come to their door.

Of course, for hyenas, it feels like they are very lucky as long as they encounter some injured prey. Of course, this injured prey is divided into herbivores and carnivores. If they encounter an injured herbivore, the hyenas may quickly take down the prey.

However, if they encounter an injured carnivore, it will not be easy for the hyenas to take it down. Of course, this also depends on what kind of carnivore it is. If it is a small carnivore, the hyenas can quickly take it down. For example, if there are some small carnivores such as wild dogs or foxes, the hyenas can still take them down quickly.

However, if the hyenas encounter some large carnivores, such as leopards and lions, even if they are injured, it will not be easy for the hyenas to take them down.

For example, if the hyenas encounter an injured lion, even if they want to capture the lion, they will have to work hard.
