00:00 In the wild, survival is the name of the game.
00:08 And for female hyenas, it's not just about themselves, but also their precious cub.
00:22 Female hyenas are remarkable creatures, responsible for caring for and protecting their young
00:27 from the moment they're born.
00:31 It's a task that requires strength, determination, and a fierce sense of motherhood.
00:39 Hunting is not an easy task, but a mother hyena will stop at nothing to ensure her cubs
00:47 are well fed.
00:52 Wildebeest are the favorite prey for hyenas.
00:56 The apex predator of the Liawa Plains, hyenas hunt by being constantly on the lookout, observing
01:04 each individual animal for any sign of weakness.
01:09 The old, the injured, and the very young.
01:16 The group often won't spot a hyena until it's too late.
01:21 For the hyenas, this gives much needed food for their clan, and will allow them to nurse
01:27 their pups.
01:34 Despite its size and strength, the wildebeest is unable to break free from the hyena's grip.
01:42 The wildebeest continues to fight, lashing out with its sharp horns in a last-ditch effort
01:48 to save its life.
01:51 However, the hyena is relentless, its hunger driving it to take down its prey no matter
01:58 what it takes.
02:01 They're one of Africa's most abundant and efficient predators.
02:06 They'll eat the entire carcass in less than an hour, leaving only hair and horns.
