Yes, a hyena will most definitely bite. They are mostly in packs too, so if one attacks, they all will.

Would three hyenas dare steal a tiger kill?

Hyena's live in Africa and Tiger's live mainly in India and Russia. There too far apart to meet up, unless they are transported to the same area by Human interference. But let's say they put a Bengal Tiger in Africa and it was feasting on an animal it had killed. I'd say the hyena's would take the Tiger on not knowing what it is. But 1 good Bite from a Tiger would cripple or kill a hyena. The hyena's would probably circle the Tiger and annoy it by biting it and moving away. Hyena's have a bite force that could be twice as strong as the Tiger's, so the tiger would really be ticked off. And swipe it paw's at the hyena's. Then charge at one, A tiger could kill a hyena in a single bite due to it's size advantage. The hyena's may have a hard bite force but It must get a clean bite into the tiger to inflict serious damage. While the tiger can injure the hyena's with swipes from it's paws or a bite with little force. So I can see if the hyena's got too close and engaged in the bite and move tactic it would get a little too close and get caught by the tiger and quickly killed. Tiger's are not slow in combat.There are many vid's of lion's catching and killing hyena's when the hyena's get too close. And I think a tiger has a faster combat speed then the lion. And a faster runner but can only un for a short period of time. So after the tiger takes out 1 hyena the others 2 will realize the risk of continuing this battle and flee. The striped hyena is found in Asia, and may scavenge from the tiger's kill from time to time, but would not have the bravery to attack the great cat.


What if you put a hyena and cougar in same cage?

they will most likely fight and the fight will be just like a hyena and leopard battle,but the cougar and leopard are on the same level and are evenly matched,therefore the cougar will overpower a hyena even though the hyena has a higher bite force


Which land animal has the strongest bite force?

hienas The retard about me can't even spell hyenas right. However he is right it is between the hyena and the dogue de bordeaux which is a dog. Although it is not recognized by the American kennel club it has a bite force of 1,000 pounds. Same with the hyena. So I do not know who has a stronger bite force. However of course in a fight the hyena who would because it is a wild animal. And most domesticated animals can't defeat wild animals.
