The lion lives, btw, another lion showed up and chased the hyenas away.

As the editing isn’t great (I have really come to hate nature doc editing, it is usually so obviously manipulative), something else could have happened, but they do show the hyena-mauled lion with another lion, so he seems to have made it.
