Yeah, pretty much what everyone else already said. It's got nothing to do with personal preference. A female hyena (Shenzi) will top out at about 150 pounds. A lioness (Nala) will weigh in at around 280 pounds fully grown. The size and strength discrepancy between an adult hyena and an adult lion(ess) means that the latter is always going to come out on top, barring a truly unbelievable turn of events.
