Saw this on National Geographic a few years ago. This was the Lion in question, pretty apt name for him.
It has been seen that where a clan of hyena can chase a large pride of lionesses from a kill, they ignore the pride if the male(s) are present, they have even been known to ignore a kill with only one male lion feeding if the specific male is known as a particularly aggressive or dominant lion who is not shy about killing the odd hyena. The locals like to give African names to the lions they study and one lion male was given the name NTWADUMELA - HE WHO GREETS WITH FIRE - the Hyena Kill
