What to do when faced with a hyena

When encountering a hyena, avoid running away and instead stand tall, make loud noises, and back away slowly while maintaining eye contact. If possible, climb a tree to avoid chasing the hyena. Stay calm, avoid sudden movements, and make yourself appear large. Back away slowly, seek shelter if possible, and be cautious at night. If a pack of hyenas are present, prioritise retreat and use defensive measures like kicking and punching.
