A Relationship of Interspecific Competition
Explanation:
Competition is when species fight amongst each other or against other species for resources, such as food, water, habitats or mates. When in competition, both species/organisms are harmed, such as wen hyena's and lion's hurt and often kill each other over food.
Just to note, there are two types of competition:
Intraspecific- Competition between the same species
Interspecific- Competition between different species
Based on this, we can classify the hyena's and lion's fighting as an Interpecific competitive relationship, since two different species are fighting each other for a limited resource (food), and are getting hurt in the process.
