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.

Why is the cheetah killed by humans?

Adult Cheetah's have no natural enemies or predators. They are too fast to be caught by any other animal. However, the youngsters are vulnerable to animals like lions and hyenas. Apart from this, humans are the biggest threat to cheetahs. Humans have hunted them for centuries almost wiping them out in Asia and driving them to low numbers in Africa. Humans killed the cheetah for its skin and in many cases just for fun.


Are hyenas pushed around by lions?

A group of hyenas, if they outnumber a pride of lions, have been known to chase lions off a kill. A single hyena is liable to be killed by hunting lions. It comes down to numbers. The bite of a hyena is strong enough to make lions wary of being injured by hyenas if there are too many.

It is difficult to provide an exact number of fatalities caused by hyenas each year as these incidents are rare and not always accurately reported. Hyenas are known to occasionally attack humans, but such attacks are relatively uncommon compared to other wildlife threats. It is important to take necessary precautions when in areas where hyenas are present.


How many millions of whales have been killed?

Billions, trillions. Whales have been killed for millennia. They were killed before the first humans walked the earth...same as all living organisms, they are killed, eaten, sink to the bottom of the ocean and are consumed by decomposers and they live as long as they can occupy a niche. Your question is open-ended. What whales?...When?...By whom?
