As males mature, they begin to test their territorial limits. Red sets out alone and finds himself in the middle of a family of hyenas. He is surrounded by more than 20 hyenas who are trying to exhaust him. Many of these hyenas can easily overpower him. He can't fight them all at once and can't hide from them for long. However, help was on the way when another lion heard a noise. Now, the dynamics have changed. Two male lions is a formidable challenge, even for 20 hyenas. Red was lucky. Meanwhile, mantises are vulnerable, ready to become prey for any lurking predator. Its survival depends on luck, depending on whether it catches the eye of a predator or in which direction it moves. So far, it's been lucky, but a hungry jumping spider is hot on its trail. The mantis, equipped with special vision, faces a difficult opponent because the spider possesses even sharper vision. Although the young mantis is not yet able to fly, its long legs are adapted to catch prey, providing it with a significant reach. It may seem cornered, but this mantis uses surprising self-defense tactics, using a hoax to appear bigger and confuse its pursuers. Surviving the first few hours is a remarkable achievement for this young insect, but it still has a long journey ahead. With a little luck, it can grow into a beautiful orchid mantis in two months, or maybe not, as the mantis is known to be cannibal. Hermit crab takes advantage of discarded items
