Summary: SFFS
Comment: I agree totally with all the 5-star reviews. I saw this doc years ago, and I even nicknamed my nasty male Birman cat "Antoine Dumela." (He's passed over, and the family joke is that he reincarnated as a male African lion and is killing hyenas right and left.) And now I see this doc is on VHS, not DVD! SFFS! My VHS crapped out centuries ago, and I refuse to buy another. However, if any VHS doc will prompt me to buy a VHS recorder, it'll be this one. But puleez..PUT THIS ON DVD! Preferably with commentary!

Summary: You can see the hate between these creatures at the DNA level in this eternal struggle.
Comment: What can I say. This is my favorite of all time. I have been waiting for years for this to come out on DVD.

It makes you appreciate your own mortality seeing how easily anyone of these beautiful creatures can die in such a savage and primal way. It is amazing to see how loathing and hate these two creatures have for one another and yet there is no good guy, because you feel sorry for both by seeing how each groups deals with its own trials and inner group strife. You cannot tell whether these creatures were born rip each other apart or live life in a meager existence. What a beautiful movie showing the true essence of nature's daily struggle to survive.

Summary: A National Geographic Classic
Comment: I first watched this documentary probably in 1993 or 1994. I thought this must surely ranked as the finest documentary that I had ever watched. There was a repeat on this documentary a few years later and I did not miss it.

I could still remember a large male lion chasing a hyena and for a brief moment I thought the lion would give up the chase knowing that male lions are not made for distance running. But it continued and soon pounced the leader of the hyena pack, killing the animal instantly with a single bite to the neck.

The part of two different lion families skirmishing also caught my attention.

This is certainly a documentary not to be missed by those studying these animals and the general viewers.

Summary: Very, Very Good
Comment: One of my all-time favorites! Brilliantly displays the brutal struggles between the two species and their will to survive. A very good source of information on spotted hyenas. I love this documentary. Highly recommended for nature/animal lovers.

Summary: DVD Available
Comment: After waiting for several years, I finally got the DVD two days ago through National Geographic. It was $30 (including shipping) but worth every penny! This is a stunning, riveting, enlightening documentary and - for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear - a commentary on our (U.S.) culture.
