Why do hyenas eat animals alive? The main reason is to keep larger predators from stealing their kill. Wild dogs, on the other hand, are more vulnerable to both hyenas and lions stealing their prey. As a result, they consume their prey as quickly as possible, and by the time the predator arrives, the prey is likely to be half eaten.
