How A Hyaena Attackes / myLot

India

December 17, 2019 4:25pm CST

I love nature.I love jungles and jungle inmates.Jungles and wild life attract me. There is a small,but dense jungle a little beyond the outskirts of my hometown.Every evening I go to this small jungle and wander there for about one or two hours.This jungle is home to some small animals like jackals,foxes,rabbits and monkeys.Sometimes you can spot hyaena there. .None of these animals is dangerous.I see them and they see me and,within seconds,they run away.I don't chess them. Once,in the evening,when I reached there,I saw a hyaena .He emerged from behind a bush and rushed to a goat that was grazing near a field.Before I can understand and decide what to do he caught the goat's neck with its jaws and tried to run away with its kill. Just then I saw some farmers who came running from their fields with staves in their hands to protect the poor goat from the hyaena. As they approached near the hyaena left the goat there and disappeared in the jungle. The goat was dead. That evening ,for the first time, I saw how a hyaena attacks small animals.

@Shivram59 Jackals we have in Serbia too and they are dangerous. But hyaena and monkeys we don't have, not even in rural parts of Serbia. I don't like that animal (hyaena) at all, even the sound which hyaena make is disgusting and frightening

They say,love is blind.And when eyesight is restored,he got rid 9f his beloved.I had once read about a man in India who had kept a tigress as his pet.The tigress would even play with his children.This man was an officer in the forest department in our state.Once the tigress heard a tiger calling from inside the jungle and then she disappeared to join her mate.Later on she became a man-eater and perhaps was killed.

@Shivram59 I was looking at a YT man who had a hyena as a pet and kept it in the apartment. As she grew, she became noisier, so he had to take her to the zoo ... imagine that? Plus, what kind of lover he talked to about her, she's lovely, she's sweet, she likes to cuddle ... and then they show her in the frame, and she just shows her teeth

You must really love animals, I would hate to see one animal attack another one. I can't stand to watch it on tv.

@Shivram59 I know you can't, my family loved watching animal shows, when something would attack another one I'd leave the room.

@popciclecold I understand.You are so kind and I highly appreciate it.But I don't enjoy watching animals being killed. I go to the jungle every evening.Sometimes I chance to see an animal being chased by a stronger animal.Since I love wildlife, I can't resist the tempetation to see and know what happens.That's it.It's just my curiosity,not cruelty.I hope, you understand.

@popciclecold I love all birds and animals.If one animal attacks another animal,it is but natural.I see them attack 9r kill other animals or run away or close my eyes, I can't stop them.

Poor goat--but God made all animals for a reason.

This is very interesting. I would like to see more stories. This may not sound exciting to you but it is different from my everyday reality. Most people here do not live near a jungle. We can't go watch the animals. I have never seen farmers defending a goat from hyenas.

@akalinus Thanks.Yes,it's not interesting and exciting to me,because these things are commonplace in Indian villages.If you want to see how farmers defend their goats from hynaes, welcome to our country.My next story may be about herds of wild elephants entering villages in search of food and destroying crops and huts of villagers there and the villagers trying to drive them out of the village.However I have never witnessed these incidents.I may as well tell you how a villager friend of mine invited me to his village to see hyaenas and jackals and foxes coming to the river or a stream to quench their thirst. I and my friend had spent a sleepless night on a river bank.I may as well write about a tiger that had once entered a village about 10 kms from our town.Or,about how a pet elephant had killed his owner. It may take me some time,but I will share all these stories here.Please, wait.

@Shivram59 Please share these stories. There are millions of people who never encountered hyenas, elephants, or tigers in the wild. They may be everyday stuff to you but not to me or them. People are fascinated by animal stories, especially in different settings like a village or jungle.

@akalinus Thanks.I'll share all the stories....But yes,a couple of days back I had posted my second story - "Elephant in absolute darkness."Did you visit it?? But I don't think people are fascinated by animal stories - at least not those who are on mylot.My story has received only five responses and my another story that I posted two days back has received only three.
