As network television Forest Gump would say, "It Happens."

The documentary “Eternal Enemies” gives us an insight to human nature by using the eternal feud between lions and hyenas. Like the battling animals, humans have hurt, killed, and destroyed civilizations of other humans simply because they do not like each other. This movie allows us to see that we are not different from the animals because we do become violent over our territory. Most people would do something to protect their home if it were broken into; people would do something if a family member was murdered. This is very similar to the lions and hyenas, the hyenas go into the lion territory and they are attacked, the lions go into the hyena territory and they are attacked. The hyenas killed a lion; the lions kill two hyenas. Discrimination is also a good example of us being like the animals in the documentary. White Americans discriminated against African Americans. Discrimination occurred because most whites simply hated African Americans. Violence broke out because of discrimination. The lions and hyenas simply hate each other, and violence occurs. Many similarities can be drawn from the lion and hyena feud to how humans interacted with each other over millions of years.
