While Hyenas are closer related to felines their behavior is more like canines. Quote: In some cases, spotted hyenas are bold enough to feed alongside lions, and may occasionally force lions off a kill. | |

| Oct 23, 2012 at 16:06 | comment | added | Stefan | @Ana Canine and feline species meet in the wild. But while canines are usually pack animals most felines are loners. Single smaller felines would never stand a chance against a pack of canines, which may explain the flight behavior. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canidae#Social_behavior en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felidae#Characteristics | |
| Mar 10, 2012 at 9:43 | comment | added | Ana | Nice answer! Do cats and dogs even meet in the wild? Co-evolved tendencies in two species need an interaction of many generations before they emerge. And I can't imagine a tiger or puma or lion being instinctively afraid of a wolf, or dingo, or fox. | |
