Hyenas documentary full biography

She was gaining on me fast. I ducked down a game path into the thicker bush, out of sight. Luckily, I lost her. I was charged by a female leopard and had nowhere to go. Remembering what a hyena does when charged by a leopard, I did the same and tried to ignore her, looking around at the ground and avoiding eye contact. It worked!

My vehicle has been battered by several elephants, a black rhino, and a buffalo bull. The film follows the lives of a unique clan of hyenas.

Instead of always and unfairly being cast as the villains, they deserve a place up there with all the other animals.
