the chase when the Caracal chased the Spring Hare was well fast

I'm looking for a clip that I've seen in youtube before, but I can't find it now. I watched the entire documentary when I rented it before. There is a scene with a Caracal who was surrounded by hyenas, but she didn't respond much. She was completely unintimidated by the hyenas and even seemed relaxed as they taunted her. It was an amazing bit of footage.
