The Hyena

I‘m not a dog or cat in the area, I am a carnivore in Africa; I really roam to look for food to eat, You cannot evade my sharp and tough teeth. I run through ungulate herds in order To select a victim to devour; I hunt for precious prey just to attack, I am highly wise and cleverly smart. I am social and known as scavenger, Although in truth I am a predator; I frequently steal fresh kills from lions, I want to challenge Komodo dragons. I show less restraint, Lioness, beware! Making an attempt at a takeover; I drive off larger predators from kills, I consume dinner with my superb skills. Male Lions, If you threaten me with force, I call my buddies to make matters worse; You will run away with forlorn aura, I’m winner because I’m the Hyena.
