"I got this on VHS tape many years ago and was so disappointed when the wear and tear over the years had made the tape unplayable.The DVD is just as good as i remembered it and the quality of the transfer onto DVD was quite good considering how many years ago this footage was shot.To this day its still probably the best, most graphic nature video out there when it comes to predators battling other predators.I got Predators at war with this one and this one is better.Predators at War is decent to but it doesn't capture as many actual encouters,alot of it is after the fact showing a dead animal and telling you later what happened to it.Lions and Hyenas actually shows alot of battles as they are taking place.I would highly recommend this video to nature buffs who can handle graphic and violent content of hyenas and lions doing battle."

Fantastic

"It is a documentary dvd that any African wildlife lover should not miss.
This is the first time that I have an actual duel between a hyena and a lion, resulting in the death of the former. It must have taken a lot of doing to track the hyena clan and lion pride to their eventful confrontations. It was a wonderful work of filming a wildlife event. This is my favorite national geogaphic wildlife film."

A Monumental Achievement

"This is one of the best documentaries on wild life ever made. The narrator is incredible, the information presented is articulate and fascinating, and the footage of Lions and Hyenas in their natural habitats is amazing. What makes the documentary so outstanding, in my opinion, is that so many elements--photography, narration, writing, creativity, natural situations--came together so beautifully and were presented so clearly. The pace of the documentary is also finely tuned to the point where there never seemed to be a dull or irrelevant moment. If you have even the mildest interest in animals, I strongly suggest purchasing this documentary."

Dramatic

"What an amazing amount of drama and action for a documentary!

This movie is so brilliantly done, it transcends the genre of documentary in my view.

Watching the lioness with her cubs, you would think the lioness would be safe, yet danger comes from unsuspecting sources. The narration is brilliant throughout, with the narrators torn by what happens with these animals they observe for some time.
