Big Cat Summer

All is quiet on the African grasslands as a lioness and her pride stalk across the plain. They are searching for food. They will not find any, though, because the local wildlife has been run out of the area. How will the pride survive? And will they ever find a safe place to live again? This startling account of a lioness' journey shows firsthand the problems one cat must endure to survive.
