Best Answer

the hyena has good jaw power so if it got a hold of a wolfs neck it would snap the wolfs neck but the wolf has claws that can give infection and kill the hyena and it also has long teeth so my opinion would most likely be the hyena

Wolves are like humans in that there are huge differances among them ,, the most powerful of wolves would be more then a match for the most powerful hyenas , yet the hyena is closer in ability to each other than the wolf ,, there are wolves that weigh over 200#s and have nearly the same bite force as adault hyenas , there are wolves that weigh less than 50#s ,, the huge wolves would probly dominate and kill the hyena ,, this is why hyenas do not fair well in wolf country ,, large wolves do not fair well in hot humid jungle conditions;

Spotted Hyenas would sometimes kill a lion so a wolf has nothing for himself against one.

Who will win hyenas or wolves?

There are four types of hyena. I am assuming, however, that you are referring to the spotted hyena, the largest type. Spotted hyenas are much heavier than wolves, ranging from 90 to 140 lb,compared with wolves which are about 85 lb on the large side. Hyenas are strong enough that they rival female lions. Hyenas also have a stronger bite force and live in larger packs than wolves. If there were such a fight, the hyenas would win. Note that these two species do not live in the same areas and would not encounter each other naturally.
