3:50 This is where the sabre-tooth and scimitar-tooth cats would make their living. They would plunge their canines into mammoth calves and then wait for the baby to bleed to death. The hyenas go hungry because they don't have that weapon.

Elephants are emotional animals. When they have little ones like this they never take chances of any predators. That's doesn't mean they are cowards. Mostly they charge every animal who messes with them without fear.

[@groupersti]

Looked like they walked into a hyena clan den....

[@MarcoSuperNova2784]

Both elephants and hyenas do share many similarities and things in common: 1. Both are really smart mammals. 2. Both share the same hierarchy society. 3. Both are social animals living in large social groups. 4. Both animals are have the higher ranking dominant female as the leader of the group. 5. Both males from the respective species are kicked out of the groups when they reach the age of puberty by seeking out in bachelor groups with other outcast males. 6. The dominant alfa queens of both species take charge and higher ranks in everything. 7. There can also be a strong sisterhood dynamic among female elephants and hyenas as they stick together in groups forever by developing a strong bonds like powerhouse womans and queens.

[@diegoquezada3193]

Point 5 is where they differ from Elephants, most males actually exile themselves for better mating opportunities, they aren't forced out most by their mother most of the times, there also have been cases of males actually remaining in their clan into adulthood. Not to mention that Spotted Hyena societal structure is more based on rank, males actually can become the leaders of their clans if they are the youngest offspring at the time of a matriarch's death, however once they become adults they generally exile themselves.

[@MarcoSuperNova2784]

​@@diegoquezada3193 But the males from both species are dominated by the highest ranking female leader from their respective groups in terms of position in the hierarchy.
