      • Quotes

        [first lines]

        Paul: [lecturing] Most people think of hyenas as cowardly scavengers - waiting around impotently for left overs, while the stronger faster animals eat their fill. They're wrong. There's a lot more to them than that. Look at them.

        [indicating video footage]

        Paul: Hyenas are fierce hunters. They're all muscle and teeth. Their top speed in about 35 miles an hour.

      Better than a lot of what's out there
      Not sure why so many low user reviews - this is a solid movie. It's worth checking out.
