Odd to know critters can do in seconds on instinct that which it would cost man many bruised egos, hours of planning and millions of dollars to execute. Dumb animals, eh?

You don't mess around with the king. Sheesh what a power house. Notice the roll to the back once he got the hyena so that he could bring his hind feet in to rake the belly? I see it every day with our cats at play and think that there is a fine line between pet and wild animal I don't often appreciate.
Just the other day another great nature doco was on called Hippo Beach.
A couple of things I didn't know about were the dominant male often just has to use "the look" and that Hippos have a reverence much like elephants over the dead of their kind. Again a demonstration of a herd backing off scavengers, again hyena, for a while as they examined and touched the corps.
Eventually they relented and nature took it's course.
I expect that bull we saw in Karries video was the dominant male just doing his thang. Excellent vid you found there.
