Hyena Mother vs. the Wild: Survival in the Serengeti | Full Documentary
Few places on earth have inspired naturalists like the Serengeti. It has been considered a magical place, the essence of Africa, since it came into public awareness fifty years ago. But the Serengeti is more than just breathtaking scenery and wildebeest-eating lions. It mirrors the history and development of conservation, the biological sciences, and our general attitude towards nature. A young hyena gives birth to twins and rears them for several days in isolation, away from the communal den of a big hyena clan in the plains. When she brings the cubs to the burrows of the clan, her Iow rank is revealed. The film introduces us to the surprisingly complex social world of hyenas. As the hunters of the clan have to move further every week to follow the wildebeests, the young female struggles to produce enough milk for her twins, waiting forty kilometers behind. She is forced to hunt in stränge territories and to avoid punishment by the local clans. The wildebeest herds now pass through the Western Corridor of the Serengeti, while several predators lie in wait: hyenas, crocodiles, and the deadliest of all hunters, Man. The cubs will wait several weeks in vain for the return of their mother.
