In the African grasslands, newly hatched ostriches face constant dangers, including encounters with hyenas. The following clip depicts a parent ostrich bravely defending its young against a large pack of hyenas.
Because ostriches have been patiently letting their chicks come out of eggs, predators are interested in these chicks. From another perspective, the leader hyena doesn’t want its entire pack to starve. This is the responsibility of the leader.
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. Both hyenas and cheetahs are very cautious when confronting ostriches. The female ostrich seemed calm when the hyenas arrived.
The parent ostrich has defeated the cheetah and the hyena, intending to kidnap the newly born chicks.
His belief in the male ostrich is certainly well founded. Finally, the herd of hyenas and cheetahs cannot reach the female ostrich and the young under the protection of the male ostrich.
