What defence mechanisms does a spotted hyena have?

Answer:
Their size, relatively bad tempers, huge crushing jaws, loud, intimidating cackle, and their bold attitude. A clan of hyenas won't hesitate to take on one or two or three lions (depending on the size of the clan) and drive them off of a kill.
