"Cute hyena cub with mom at birth den https://hyena-project.com/ Female spotted hyenas are dedicated cautious mothers. They usually keep their newborn cubs in a birth den away from the busy communal den.

"Hyena greeting ceremony https://hyena-project.com Spotted hyenas have clear ideas about the dos and donts when it comes to greeting each other. They live in a complex society with strict social conventions based on the dominance relationship between individuals. When two individuals meet they exhibit a greeting ceremony. They express signs of dominance or submission to confirm their hierarchical relationship or strengthen their friendship. This video shows such a greeting ceremony.

"Cute hyena cub with mom at birth den https://hyena-project.com/ Female spotted hyenas are dedicated cautious mothers. They usually keep their newborn cubs in a birth den away from the busy communal den. On this video the one-month old cub of S-152 a high-ranking female from the Shamba Clan in the Ngorongoro Crater is already quite steady on its paws and peeps out from the birth den to interact with its mother.

"Male lion stealing food from hyenas https://hyena-project.com In contrast to popular believe spotted hyenas rarely take over kills from lions. In fact the opposite is more frequent and hyenas regularly lose their food to lions particularly when they compete with an adult male lion. On this video it is quite impressive to see how a group of twenty-five hyenas abandon the kill without any hesitation when they see the lion approaching.

"Hyenas and lioness share food https://hyena-project.com Spotted hyenas often lose their kill against adult male lions but with lionesses interactions can be quite different. In the Ngorongoro Crater it is quite common to see a group of hyenas defending their kill against lionesses or 'sharing' a large kill with a lioness like on this video. Here the hyenas were the first ones to arrive; they did not kill the red hartebeest (or 'Kongoni') but found it already dead. You can nicely hear one of the hyenas (Chozi a young high-ranking female from the Shamba Clan) whooping to call other hyenas from"
