Der Clan der Hyänen

Hyenas are considered cowardly scavengers although they are far more effective hunters than lions. Their anatomy is unique, lungs and heart are particularly powerful. Hyenas can therefore rush their prey over many kilometers to exhaustion. Although they live in large families, they often hunt in only small groups or even alone. "The Clan of Hyenas" shows the animals, which are among the most successful animals in Africa, beyond the cliché, as social, well-organized family groups.
