While hyenas are skilled hunters, they are infamously known for their scavenging skills. Judging from this video, it’s easy to see why…
Rare footage captures the moment a hyena stumbles upon an African rock python constricting an impala and takes the kill for itself.
Jason Joubert witnessed this rare sighting and told the story:
“I spotted a hyena with his nose right to the ground, searching an open area. He seemed to be very interested in whatever it is he got a scent of and kept scouting the area for a while. Upon further inspection, the hyena found an African Rock Python wrapped around a young impala!”
“I was ecstatic! In 13 years of guiding, I had never seen anything like this, I was just bummed that the python lost its kill after a lot of hard work though.”
