A hyena would win a fight against a wild dog. The reason is simple: hyenas are just too much larger and stronger than wild dogs.
Lions are larger, slightly faster, and stronger than hyenas.
Competition between hyenas and lions for resources leads to infanticide—the practice of killing each other's young. Learn why this behavior makes the two species "mortal enemies."
So, if the battle occurs among many obstacles and on steep terrain, this will give dingoes an edge. But if the fight is in the open, the much heavier, taller, and longer wolves will be too much for dingoes. They also pack a heavier bite quotient (bite force relative to body mass) of 136 as compared to the dingo's 108.
Dingos are primarily killed by humans, crocodiles, and sometimes by other canid species, such as jackals and domestic dogs. Dingos are also killed by dingos from other packs. Pups may be taken by large birds of prey.
Dingo Predators and Threats
However, large predators such as crocodiles, jackals, and birds of prey may still kill the youngest and most unprotected dingoes when they are vulnerable to predation. Dingoes have also been known to die from snake bites and buffalo or cattle attacks.
Lions have few predators to fear other than humans. A very young or sickly lion might fall prey to hyenas. Cubs may be attacked and eaten by adult male lions. Lions are most threatened by humans who hunt them and encroach on their habitat. Lions do not selectively hunt humans and do not often attack humans.
While it may look shocking, it is not unheard of for groups of hyenas to take down lions – most often cubs or older individuals. Often seen as the villians of the African grasslands, hyenas are an intelligent and adaptable species that work together to protect their clans.
It's important to note: Tardigrades are basically indestructible only when they enter a special state called cryptobiosis. In harsh environments, the animals tuck in their legs and expel all moisture from their bodies.
Lions are the main cause of death for hyenas in the Ngorongoro Crater. Male lions are twice the size of a spotted hyena and three to four times as heavy, and one single paw stroke can kill an adult hyena. Lions may stalk hyenas at their resting places and try to surprise hyenas approaching kills.
Who would win the fight between a pitbull and a hyena? Hyena without a doubt. The Hyena has one of the strongest bite forces in the animal kingdom, it can crush bone with ease. Hyenas are also pretty damn big, much larger than any breed of domestic dog, except maybe one or two huge ones.
A hyena would win a fight against a wolf. The hyena is faster, heavier, and stronger than the wolf, and those are the only two appreciable differences between these creatures. They're both similar in stature and speed, but the fight would be determined by which creature can deal fatal damage.
Both hyenas and wild dogs are known for their high potential speed which they use to hunt prey and escape predators. Wild dogs have reached speeds of 45mph in the wild, faster than hyenas at a top speed of 40mph.
Lions and Other Beasts Fear Hyenas
What causes such fear in many animals, including the lions, is that hyenas often fight in packs. In an aggressive group attack, they outnumber the lions by a large margin and can shred them to pieces.
A bear would win a fight against a lion. Bears have the advantage in just about every aspect, from size to offensive capabilities. The only time that a lion would win is if it managed to sneak up and ambush a bear, leaping onto it and biting into its head with such power that it shattered the skill.
Gorillas are strong and powerful animals. They are known to be able to fight off lions and other large predators.
Elephants and rhinos are the animals most likely to kill lions. The humble porcupine is a threat to mighty lions. A crocodile is an animal that will attempt to prey on lions.
Traditionally the lion has been crowned King of the Jungle, but when one observes a lion and elephant encounter in the African wild it is clear to see that King lion has a healthy respect for elephant.
Honey badgers are small, but aren't afraid to take on larger animals. Honey badgers are often called the fiercest animal on the planet.
Dingo threats or attacks
Unhabituated dingoes have a natural fear of people and shy away. From time to time, dingoes may come close and some encounters can turn to tragedy. Stay alert and stay calm.
Although it is generally not recommended to keep a dingo as a pet, a dingo in captivity can increase the animal's life expectancy about 10 years. Dingoes in the wild tend to live for six years, while dingoes kept as pets can live for up to 15 years.
We found no evidence of predation on adult crocodiles. However, on one occasion at Crocodile Bay, two dingoes chased away a small nesting crocodile (estimated at ~1.5 m in total length), one pursuing the crocodile into the water before raiding the nest.
