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".

∙ 9y agoHyenas are at the top of the food chain, equal with lions. The hyenas in "The Lion King" are misrepresented. They are portrayed as dumb scavengers. In real life, they actually hunt at least as much of their food as lions do, and lions frequently steal carcasses from hyenas, as much if not more than the other way around. Additionally, hyenas are not stupid animals either, and actually have more complex social behavior than even lions do.

Because The Lion King is an extremely inaccurate and scientifically-inconsistent movie. It has been scientifically proven that hyenas are smarter than lions, scavenge less, and are more efficient hunters as well.
