A Long-Running, Pleistocene Rivalry 
The bad blood between lions and spotted hyenas runs deep, and is one of the most celebrated rivalries in nature. Their gory competition over carcasses on the African savanna has been memorialized in numerous wildlife documentaries.
The competition between the species has only existed as long as both have been around - but fossil evidence from prehistoric Europe at least partially documents how far back lions and hyenas have been snarling at each other.
