Spotted Hyena vs. Chimpanzee
Spotted hyenas have very powerful jaws that can exert pressure as much as 1000PSI and females can weigh up to 190 pounds. Rogue hyenas have been known to take down prey as large as wildebeest. Hyenas have always been looked upon as pathetic scavengers, but really,, hyenas are powerful hunters; hunting taking up 80% of their diet, while the other 20% is from foraging for small animals and scavenging. Lone hyenas have been known to steal kills from leopards. Scientists have recently been looking into hyena intelligence and have found out that they have higher intelligence than other animals in the order Carnivora.
Stats-
Length: 3-5.5 feet
Weight: 90-180lbs
Armaments: Powerful, bone-crushing jaws that can exert over 1000PSI, fairly intelligent, strong neck muscles, which can be durable when a lion or another animal attacks that area of the hyena.
Chimpanzees have strength that is of 2-4 xs the average human male. Chimpanzees have been known to go into groups and kill leopards and have been known to hunt with weapons, like spears and stones. They may go in groups and take down antelopes and other primates, for their own nutritional sources. Chimpanzees can also learn how to use a basic handgun, like a magnum or a pistol. Combine that intelligence with their brutal strength, and you have a primate almost as deadly as a gorilla.
Stats-
Height: 3-5.6 feet
Weight: 80-170lbs
Armaments: Powerful, upper-body strength, 2-4xs stronger than an average human male, can be extremely aggressive, very dexterous, and very, very intelligent.
Hyenas have a higher successful hunt and kill ratio than any other animal on the plains by almost a full 20%. These believed "scavengers" will hunt and will kill their own prey but will also eat at an already picked at carcass. They aren't as fast as felids in running down prey so they wait for the lions to do their business and then go steal the kill. They are very proficient in large groups and if you were to see a group on group battle of Chimps vs. Hyenas, the Hyenas would be doing one-bite-one-kill on the smaller primate. I love both animals, but when it comes to a hungry pack of hyenas against an aggressive bunch of chimps, my money goes on the carnivorous large predator that can withstand lion assaults. Because in the wild, in that type of confrontation, the strongest do survive.
