The **cryptoherds** is born from the passion of the saying; **“together we’re always set to win.”** Imagine animals like hyenas that always move in groups and teams. This enables them to do a lot in unison and are always set to winning.\ \ **Smith and colleagues** report that spotted hyenas do join forces to protect themselves from danger. They aggregate to defend their food from their natural enemy – the lion, and cooperate during turf battles with neighbouring hyenas. And, it is easier for spotted hyenas to catch prey when they do so in teams.
