View Quote I wonder if wolves were brought to Africa, how fast would they become the apex predator? |
|
I could just see that bison thinking... If he doesn't get up, I will not be chased.
Kinda like the idea of... I don't have to run faster than the bear, I just have to run faster than you!! Back to the hyena, it amazes me that the wildebeest doesn't try harder to gore the hyena. I know it is in shock, but it had ample opportunity while the hyena was shoulder deep into its hindquarters. Reminds me of... well... nothing I have ever experienced!! Hope I never do either! Usually it is one .30 cal slug and whatever I am shooting is down. |

I wonder if wolves were brought to Africa, how fast would they become the apex predator? They'd be killed off fast. Africa is waaaay too hot and its already figured out the best predators. Through millions of years of evolution and competition, wolves never made a showing there. |

Well, here you go, if you can see Imgur files. It's nothing terrible, just an animal eating another animal. It is pretty sad to see, though. Just after this image, the Wildebeest turns around to try to bite the Hyena.

That's how Hyenas eat their prey all the time. The specifically start with the genitals/rear/soft areas. The only reason that wildebeest was alive the entire time was because there was only one hyena. Normally there'd be half a dozen tearing it to pieces so it'd die a lot quicker. View Quote I once "got" to watch various bird/animals consume a wounded but still alive cow: the buzzards/vultures started, as you state, with existing openings. Once they connected a few openings it was a free for all. |

Hopefully the site's PETA types will find this thread, watch it, and then think about it the next time a hunting video is posted. Always the optimist, I am.

Next time some anti hunter is going on about how a creature should be allowed to die a natural death instead of by some bullet or arrow, they need to watch what Mother Nature calls a natural death. View Quote Yep, saw a Stouffers brothers show on tv years ago, an 8 point whitetail was being eaten alive by wolves. Deer kept looking back at the wolves eating him. Wonder how old Walt Disney managed to miss that kind of wildlife interaction................ |

Quoted: Quoted: That sucks. BOOM! Take out the wildebeest. Would fight myself NOT to take out the hyena also. Why would you shoot either one? Mercy Killing. Sides, I don't think the hyena(s) would eat the head, so no danger of lead poisoning. Not trying to be funny here.

I can maybe see the wildebeest as he's toast anyway but the hyena is just doing what he does. There's no malice in it, he's hungry and there's food available. Here's the idea. I don't want to embed it as a consideration for others. It's a scene in The Last of the Mohicans where Steven Waddington (aka Maj. Duncan Heyward) is being burned alive. He was put out of his misery by a well placed shot. |

Yep pretty nasty getting eaten alive but his ass is on the list of lions. http://i61.tinypic.com/2v0k8yw.jpg Hyenas run off lions all the time. They are usually more successful as well...often stealing the lion's quarry. Hyenas and lions are mortal enemies. |

Jeeeeezus, a few seconds of that and that was enough for me. :/

I don't know which was more painful. Watching a Hildabeast getting eating alive ass first, or hearing the ghetto FSA play by play on WSHH.

I am the type of guy to let nature do its thing when it comes to animals in the wild. I also wouldn't want to draw attention to myself in Africa to hunting officials or to other animals. Plus I would like to see if that wildebeast could get one good poke in on the Hyena before he died. |

Didn't click on it, because I'm pretty sure I've seen it before - probably posted here, in fact.

The only parts they can't digest (but still consume) is hair, hooves and horns. |

Pretty dang good. Tough animal if not hit just right. I hit one a bit high with a .375. Chased/tracked it about a mile, hit it two more times with the 375 and three times with a 7mm Mauser. Tough critters. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
