Young ostriches are sure to be a delicious and easy meal when only 2 ostriches stand in the way while hyenas have the advantage in numbers.

The whole herd of hyenas is very cautious when confronting ostriches. The female ostrich seemed calm when the hyenas arrived.

His belief in the male ostrich is certainly well founded. Finally, the hyenas cannot reach the female ostrich and the young under the protection of the male ostrich.
