This is the amazing moment a lioness took down a pack of hyenas in the Maasai Mara. The clip, filmed March 17, shows the hyenas ganging up on the lioness before she turned the attack round on them, when the rest of her pride finally came to help fend them off. Pareet Shah was leading a photographer for the safari in the Mara told Newsflare: "Our chief guide Bernard Tompoi spotted the Marsh Pride running towards a few hyenas. The hyenas didn't make a run in time and three young lions got hold of a hyena pup and killed it within a few seconds. "They didn't eat it but just played with it for a few minutes before walking off. However as they were walking off, the hyenas were now back in big numbers (over 25 of them within less than 3-4 minutes) and they had cornered one lioness and started brutally attacking her with intent, wounding her. "She had to wait for a while before help came to her in the form of the rest of the pride. When the rest of the pride came, they nearly got a couple of the hyenas. Luckily for the lioness, she escaped her death."
