It often happens that zebras are eaten alive by dogs and scream in agony, because hyenas usually fight in groups when hunting. They rely on teamwork and understanding to successfully capture prey much larger than themselves, including zebras. Hyenas have very powerful bites and are good at using the "anal dig" tactic.

Although zebras are not defenseless prey, zebras will take advantage of the group's strength when encountering predators. It has the advantage to defend, but it is indeed difficult to defeat the hyena's "anal digging" tactics.
