No, hyenas hunt their own prey just like how wolves do. They are not scavengers or wimps. What people seem to ignore is- why would an animal have such strong jaws and be a scavenger? In fact, lions steal hyenas' kills alot more than hyenas do.

A gray wolf is stronger because it out weighs the hyena and is mored skilled than a striped hyena, not to say that a striped hyena is just a weak scavenger like most people say.

A more equal fight would be a gray wolf vs spotted hyena.
