The animal fight threads got me started on a google search where I came across this review of a National Geographic DVD:
National Geographic's Eternal Enemies: Lions and Hyenas
tbe prepared for some of the most spectacular and disturbing footage ever caught on film. From the outset it is made brutally clear that animals, in this case lions and hyaenas, DO in fact slaughter each other, not necessarily for food as most people believe, but for something much darker - HATRED.
This point is made by showing a large male lion, Ntwydmala, breaking the back of an unlucky hyaena matriarch, then shortly afterwards, breaking the neck of another. It isn't always pleasant to watch, but it'll keep you glued to your seat in disbelief.
This film is easily one of the best nature films I've ever seen, bar none!
I think I'm going to buy this. Anyone else have any Nature/Discovery/Nova channel DVD's they recommend that I get?
