One of the most lethal predators in the Ngorongoro crater, Tanzania, is the spotted hyaena. It is frequently mistaken for a scavenger, but carcasses only comprise a small part of its diet. In fact, the hyaena is a ruthless killer, hunting down its victims in packs. First, the predators choose a suitable victim, mostly an old, weak, or very young animal—like an inexperienced Wildebeest. They then tag their victims mercilessly, until the final showdown arrives.
