Scientists tracked lions and hyenas with GPS, and the results were not what they expected
- Researchers fitted GPS collars to 17 lions and 14 hyenas to study how the predators interact.
- Scientists expected hyenas to follow lions for food, but the tracking data showed the opposite pattern.
- Male lions often moved towards nearby hyenas, while the hyenas changed course or retreated to avoid them.
- Thousands of GPS records challenged the idea that hyenas usually dominate these encounters through their numbers.
