<\/span><\/h2>\nKnowing what to do is crucial for your safety and survival.<\/p>\n
Now that you have a good base of knowledge about these animals, you can now use it to prepare for a possible encounter.<\/p>\n
You know you have very little chance of surviving, so what should you do? Here’s what to do.<\/p>\n
Even if you do manage to fight it off, which would be miraculous to say the least, you wouldn’t be able to tell the story for long after.<\/p>\n
As I mentioned in the beginning of this guide about them being scavengers, once they bite you, it’s highly likely you’ll be poisoned as well. Their mouths and teeth are covered in rotting flesh most of the time. This makes their jaws filled with razor sharp teeth poisonous on top of the one of the worlds strongest jaws.<\/p>\n
Death would be a guarantee if bitten. Even if you’re up against a striped Hyena, which is the smallest of the species.<\/p>\n
Here’s the bottom line. If you’re alone without a knife and you encounter a spotted Hyena, you’re dead. There’s nothing you can do. If the animal wants you dead, you’re dead.<\/p>\n
It’s best to just think of the Hyena being a Lion. You don’t go around Lion territory alone without multiple weapons. Could you? Of course, if you have a death wish.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<\/span><\/h2>\nHere are some frequently asked questions about Hyenas.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Should You Run From Hyenas?<\/span><\/h3>\nThese animals run up to 37 MPH with unfathomable endurance. Can you run 37 MPH? It’s impossible for a person to outrun a Hyena, so running away is futile.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Can You Kill Hyenas?<\/span><\/h3>\nWhen it comes to a spotted Hyena, a person has little to no chance to survive an attack. They are commonly underestimated since they appear small in the movies we’ve all seen them in.<\/p>\n
It’s highly unlikely that you would survive against a Hyena. Even if you had a weapon such as a baseball bat or other blunt object as a weapon, you still have very little chance of surviving.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Do Hyenas Attack Humans?<\/span><\/h3>\nHyena’s have been reported to attack people. As we said above, all types are powerful and fully capable of attacking and killing an adult person. When food is scarce, they are more likely to attack people. According to Africa Hunting, it would be gruesome to be killed by a hyena.<\/p>\n
