tell the media and society to stop perpetuating wildlife as something to kill and murder. when I was out in the desert a decade ago seeing family and my car broke down (i was like 19) and i had to walk several miles back to their house and took a shortcut through vacant land on the outskirts of the town, I had many wild coyotes follow me the entire way. must have been a small group of a half dozen. they kept running back and forth around so much and going in and around scrub bushes it was hard to tell which ones were the same ones and if more had come up. i stopped and showed them my hands and pockets and they smelled me and let me reach out and pet their backs. they stood right alongside me like my own dogs do. i had a leather belt on and they kept wanting to take my belt off any time they thought i couldn't see them. they were very sweet and curious, they never once were mean. they have a very unique trot to their gait, they just seem to float across the ground the way their paws move. they are also very lightweight, about the weight of a collie. i took a bottle of water out for one and poured it into a hubcap i found from an old car on the way and he drank the water all up. they just followed me behind me and alongside me the entire way back. my uncle couldnt believe it. when i went up on his deck and banged on the door he jumped back from the window and he said "what the hell is this?" i said "its my posse, let us in". lol

They don't think that way. Like sharks, they're likely not to even see you as food. Hyenas are a very tamable animal believe it or not, it's just not a good life for them and one bite, even a playful and well mannered one, can seriously damage you since they're evolved to crush bones for nutrition with their jaws. Regardless though, they're wonderful animals and like dogs (even though they are their own species entirely), they understand social behavior and will show affection when rewarded and when hungry. Because of their raw strength and sharp teeth however, it's difficult to train them without restraint since they can playfully bite one another more safely than with humans, even though it wouldn't be aggressive whatsoever -- still dangerous nonetheless.

So first of all this is extremely dangerous and I don't advise letting a hyena get that close. Second of all this is adorable and I love it anyways. Animals don't attack people for food often due to humans being unusual prey, so sometimes you get really sweet moments like these if the animal feels safe enough to approach you. Again though.. Don't do this, really. You might encounter one that either feels threatened enough to attack, or for some reason decides it does want to eat you.

Dogs don't even do that usually unless afraid. But Hyenas ain't afraid of shit, obviously. That's why so many African dudes tame them for whatever reason. It's not a great life for them, but it's entirely doable and they understand social affection and will show kindness for food and love. Btw The Spotted Hyena has been my favorite animal for a decade.

For those wondering why the Hyena is so cautious, game parks guides have come to the conclusion that Hyenas or any other predators cannot harm you if you are on top of a safari vehicle because it does not consider the vehicle as prey due to the size of the vehicle just like it can't attack a hippo or elephants. However, if you get out of the vehicle and even worse, start running, their instinct to chase you will kick in and you will become a good lunch in no time. Note that Hyenas don't kill its prey first, it eats it while the prey is still alive. Therefore, your death will take longer than you think.

It was only curious in the sense that it was wondering if it could get away with grabbing the free meat hanging out the side of the car. Everything in this video suggest to me that it was building up to an attack. It showed little fear and was testing what it could get away with. Given enough time, that hyena would have nipped. Animals don't always broadcast their intention to attack. Sometimes it is a split second decision that comes out of the blue. That's why seasoned animal handlers that seemingly should have known better can and frequently do get nipped. They never saw it coming because there were no signs. That is why you never leave a wild animal encounter to chance, particularly with animals as powerful as these. The default should always be "this thing can bite, I should keep my distance."

@@Skippy19812 Just because it was sniffing him doesn't mean it was going to rip his arm off. If the hyena really wanted to it would've done so already, but it didn't. It was probably their first time seeing human contact which is why the hyena's were being curious and cautious. Just look at when the dude simply moved his arm a little, both of the hyena's backed off. I've encountered coyotes, raccoons, opossums, etc.. while hiking in California and all of those animals just left me alone. They aren't bloodthirsty beings looking to kill us, they're more afraid of us. The only times an animal would really attack a human is if they're defending their babies, if we are in their territory, or if we provoke them.

I remember reading about a scene where a pack of wolves that had never seen what a horse was before meeting one for the first time, they reacted exactly like this, not aggressive, just stared curiously while keeping some distance. While this may seem strange it actually makes sense, you can't just eat anything you like, you have to factor in effort given (hunting/gathering) and whether something is edible (poisoning) and even with the latter it's not always just a case of whether the target evolved to be fatal to eat, you could swallow the wrong part and die after due to something like vitamin overdoes, there are 2 cases of this happening in humans, so the Hyenas' response makes sense when you look at this data, they see pale skinned white humans (sitting inside a big weird thingy I might add) and are curious but not sure what to do with it so instead just sniff a bit and then move on to something else

Once in Safari vehicle, tourists are not supposed to stick out any part of their body like this. This is violation of basic norms of behavior in the bush. Absolutely idiotic on that tourist to do so. This promotes bad behavior in the wild animals. The hyena was clearly sensing flesh and blood and was certainly beginning to think of the hand as food. The idiot should be thankful his hand didn’t get amputated. If the hyena bit him poor animal would have had to be destroyed for no fault of his

Leijona Oneiroi are you implying that rangers are exempted from the basic rules that the tourists are expected to follow? Or are you saying that the hyena doesn’t like to chew on a ranger’s hand more than he likes to chew on a tourists hand? Rangers are expected to be role models for the tourists. If every tourist starts sticking their hand or leg out of their vehicle and invite another accident, who is to be blamed? The person was clearly encouraging the hyena to cross the red line by sticking his hand out and that is not acceptable behavior in most of the parks I know. What does my knowledge hyena behavior have to do with it?

I have many respectable ranger friends who walk what they talk. So give some rationale why it is acceptable for a ranger to do so and not a tourist or STFU.

I know this guy very well and he is one of the best Rangers out there..! It's easy to comment, but live in the bush with these animals for 10 years, away from your family and friends, then your comments will carry more value.
