Watch as the hyena and lion vie for power, sharing the same inhospitable habitat and pursuing the same prey, each existing at the top of the food chain and maintaining a relationship that is far more complex and surprising than myths reveal.

Lions of Gir India s Gir National Park and Sanctuary, one of the largest stretches of unbroken forest, is the last home of the Asiatic lion.
