Even as a big cat enthusiast, I think 10 brown hyenas is too much for too lionesses
Two male lions will very likely do better

[dinosauria101]

Well, probably not a mismatch but I'd give a good edge to the hyenas here too. The numbers and individual durability of each one would certainly be a big help for them to swarm, damage, and exhaust the lionesses.

The hyenas massively outnumber the lions and have a greater combined weight. They also have stronger jaws to use in battle, so the clan wins here.
