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.

Summary: Had to write a review
Comment: I hadnt intended to write a review but i just happened to come upn its listing here and ws moved to comment. Dont read if you dont want the great scenes given away. :) Yes , this is the most powerfully affecting document i've seen. 3 of the most emotionally impacting and gripping scenes and all one tape. I was very shocked and deeply saddened by what i saw . The matriach hyena being taken and in the manner that it was, the poisened lioness and the explosive arrival of the enraged male lion with his extended slo-mo chase of the hyena . What an awesome climax whew haha . And a lioness being actually killed by the neighbouring pride not to mention the hyenas going after lionesses I had no idea all this happened .

Editorial Reviews:

Although we romanticize lions as mighty kings of the jungle, their reign is in fact a tenuous one. It is challenged daily in southern Africa by vicious packs of hyenas that compete for prey. Between the two species exists an ancient feud, and it unfolds in Eternal Enemies with all the drama of the warring Capulets and Montagues. Watch as lions bring down a zebra, only to be attacked themselves by a pack of hyenas that chases them into the trees. Glowering, the big cats watch as the thieves devour their dinner. Days later the lions exact revenge, killing the hyena leader but leaving her uneaten as a warning to the rest of the clan. Other scenes in this video are equally impressive, including life inside a hyena den--which captures the sounds of lions growling outside--and a tense encounter between a snake-bitten lioness and a pack of hyenas. With its gripping story line, Eternal Enemies is a standout among animal documentaries. --Demian McLean
