This week’s video will have you on the edge of your seat as an aardvark at Mabula Game Lodge makes a daring escape from a hungry hyena.

The aardvark, out unusually early, can be seen scratching in the dirt when a passing brown hyena spots it – thinking he’s found an easy catch. After a brief chase, the aardvark disappears into an underground burrow, leaving the hyena bamboozeled.

The video was shared to the Kruger Sightings YouTube channel.
