Hyenas

Hyenas, one of the predators of elephants that eat elephants, are feliform carnivorous animals in the Hyaenidae family. It is the fifth-smallest biological family in the Carnivora and one of the smallest in the class Mammalia, with only four living species (each in its own genus). Despite their low diversity, hyenas are distinct and essential components of the majority of African ecosystems. Hyenas eat wildebeest, antelope, gemsbok, zebra, and impala, as well as any food that animals leave behind. Furthermore, they pursue larger prey that has been separated from their families, such as hippos, lions, and elephants, which are among the most prevalent species. Hides, which provide them with refuge in a confined space, provide more than enough food for them.

According to Gilbert Beaver (a wildlife researcher), It is difficult for a pack animal to consume an elephant unless it is the largest. Because of the number of lions or hyenas they have encountered, elephants can be torn apart by lions, bands of hyenas, or wild dogs. Certain animals, such as cheetahs, lions, and tigers, cannot easily consume wild cats such as lions, tigers, and leopards. There are few, if any, Hyena attacks on elephants, and even fewer examples of their assaulting and killing an elephant. It's easy to believe that these animals could never attack, let alone kill, an elephant. A group of hyenas assaults or eats a baby elephant alive, and if they kill it as soon as possible, they can feed it.
