Lion Trapped by Clan of Hyenas | Dynasties | BBC Earth

The episode of BBC Earth “Dynasties: Lion Trapped by Clan of Hyenas” is told from the perspective of a pride of lions in the Maasai Mara, led by a brave female lion named Charm. The Dry Season had left the land parched and hunting opportunities scarce, making it difficult for Charm and her pride to find food and to feed their cubs. The predators were accustomed to competing with a population of hyenas, which they successfully kept under control—until a group of aggressive newcomers arrived.

The episode focuses on how Charm and her pride are driven deep into the bush and eventually get trapped in a dry dam by the larger and more powerful clan of hyenas. Charm, who bravely defended herself and her family, soon finds herself under a viscous attack. This attack is relentless as Charm and her cubs struggle to free themselves, and viewers are forced to watch in suspense as the hyenas gain ground.
