The video, captured by Louis Le Roux, 61, and posted to YouTube by Kruger Sightings, shows what happened when the hyena approached a watering hole at Gharagab camp inside Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, which straddles the border of South Africa and Botswana.

The lionesses spring their trap and run toward the hyena, but the smaller animal proves faster than its pursuers and they end up giving up the chase. "It was the hyena's lucky day as he managed to escape the great chase of the pride," Le Roux wrote.
