The old lion was in pain, screaming in despair as he was tortured by two brutally mad hyenas and biting off his legs until he lost his life.

Lions and hyenas are known to be two higher predators in nature. Also because of the war for food to survive, lions and hyenas become arch-rivals.

The feud between lions and hyenas stems from a simple reason, a dispute over food sources.

In the clip, a lion is being chased by four hyenas and biting its hind legs. Then, they surrounded the lion to prevent the animal from escaping, the other hyenas frantically used their sharp teeth to bite the lion.

Perhaps due to her age and weakness, the lioness was no longer able to defend herself. At this point, the lion did not attack back and seemed to be accepting defeat. It only growls and groans in pain as the hyenas rush in to bite it.

The animal then managed to run away into a roadside bush but was still chased by the hyenas. Unfortunately, Barnard was not able to observe what happened next, so the end of the old lion is unknown.
