Are they really at the bottom of the food chain the hyenas in lion king?
Hyenas are not at the bottom of the food chain. Plants are at the bottom of a food chain or food pyramid. Hyenas are top carnivores and sometimes scavengers; they are at the top (not including decomposers who would be at the very top). The phrase "bottom of the food chain" was a social insult meant to say that they are easily eaten by others. However, in reality, hyenas are similar to lions in food chain "level".

How many humans have been killed by hyenas?
I don't know the exact number of humans that have been killed by Hyenas, but I do know that they have a very strong bite. They are underestimated by many people. Most people think they are just scavengers, they can be, but they are successful predators. They mostly only scavenge from bigger predators like the lion for example, which is most common. They are also run by a matriarchs which is a head female versus lions which are run by a patriarch(male leader). Female Hyenas are bigger than males. Hyenas have one the strongest bites and are considered more related to mongooses when people think they are more related to dogs. Professionals are still studying and trying to figure out Hyenas. They are lions worst enemies and can easily kill humans if you do something to threaten them. Do not underestimate these strange but powerful animals.

What kills a hyena?
adult hyenas are killed by lions in rare circumstances over food disputes. humans probably kill more hyenas than any other predator. they are mostly scavengers but when they do hunt they can suffer from injuries resulting in death by being kicked in the head or mouth which prevents them from eating. automobiles, over population, drought, rabies and starvation account for many of their deaths. the single best answer for what kills a hyena is loss of habitat and food due to human over population.
Who would win a lion or a hyena?
Lions and hyenas most often battle in packs or prides. The net weight of the pack and pride determines the outcome. The group having the largest gross weight usually wins. This means if the combined weight of the entire pack of hyenas outweighs that of the pride of lions the hyenas will win the battle. Therefore in a one on one contest the heaviest is predicted to win. Most often lions will weigh more than hyenas so the lion would win. that's an easy question,a hyena wouldn't even react and it'll be dead.lions are 2 times larger than hyenas ad weight almost 4 times more.hyenas might steal linos carcass only when there are only females and even then they'll had to work together
