Can we even consider a fight between a domesticated animal – a pitbull and a wild animal – a hyena?

What chance does a domestic animal have if a battle should ensue between both animals? Several issues have to be considered before naming the winner.

 

Hyena vs. Pitbull – Who Will Win?

A single hyena could win or lose a battle with a pitbull. The hyena’s jaw and bite are powerful. One powerful bite into a vital area of the pitbull’s body could make the hyena the winner, making the pitbull lose its life. The pitbull’s bite is also powerful but is twice weaker than the hyena’s.

 

 

Understanding The Facts about The Hyena and The Pitbull

Attempting to decide the winner of a fight between a hyena and a pitbull means you must understand the characteristics of each animal.

Winning or losing a battle between these two animals depends on the status of the animal.

We must consider the weak and strong attributes of each species. Another consideration is the natural behavior of each species.

Many of these issues determine who would win the fight. Winners are determined by which animal has a fighting chance of bringing the other down.

Both are carnivores with the ability to use their powerful and deadly jaws and teeth on the other. Some say that the hyena’s bite is far more deadly than that of the pitbull.

• The biting force of a pitbull is a bit over 300 PSI. The pitbull’s bite would injure the hyena. It is not likely that this bite will be deadly to the hyena.
• The biting force of a hyena is a bit over 750 PSI. A pitbull could not survive this tremendous and deadly bite.
• Many believe that the pitbull is more skilled at fighting. They are born for combat.
• Other people say that the hyena confronts battle every day.
• Some pitbull owners deny that their loving and cuddly pitbull would provoke or win any fight with any animal.

 

Since the hyena battles other wild animals in addition to each other every day. This gives the hyena more skill and experience.

Some call the hyena the winner because this animal is a tad taller than the pitbull.

While the hyena may be taller, this is not enough to make a difference in a fight. There are many other considerations.

 

Understanding the Wild Hyena

Hemingway has described the hyena as a devourer of the dead according to the University of Michigan.

Certain words come to mind when we hear the word hyena. We may think of the following descriptions of the hyena.

• Crazed
• Wild
• Fierce
• Dangerous
• Sharp teeth
• Vicious predator

Many think that this meat-eating hyena is a wild dog. This is a false assumption.

Researchers claim that the hyena is more closely related to a cat. Researchers also say that the hyena is neither a feline nor a canine.

 

The Hyena species include four types:

Each type varies in appearance and possesses fascinating qualities. Each type eats a different diet that can affect the ability of the hyena in a fight.

1. Aardwolves

 

2. Spotted hyenas

 

3. Brown hyenas

 

4. Striped hyenas

All hyena types share similarities. Most hyenas have short tan or brown fur. Some carry dark spots or stripes.

We have heard about the laughing hyena. Hyenas do not laugh per se. Their high voice pitch is a form of communication between the species.

They communicate through grunts – growls – whoops – and what would sound like a laugh. All types are led by females who oust males when they reach sexual maturity.

One female who is the biggest and strongest is the leader or matriarch of the pack. Males must fight a good fight to be accepted into another pack after being ousted by their pack.

Males are low on the totem pole of importance. Hyenas are vicious fighters and can tear a male apart.

The following describes the makeup of a hyena that leads to the possibility of having what it takes to win a fight against a pit bull.

• Highly intelligent than the chimpanzee

• Can communicate non-verbally
• Packs are led by females (larger-more muscular-more aggressive-have more testosterone than the males)
• Rarely attack humans
• Timid animals
• Grossly misunderstood
• Cannot be domesticated (mainly illegal to own)
• Deadly predators and dangerous
• Social
