An evocative picture of one of the last great predators. A visitor on safari in the Tuli bushlands in summer 1991 would, with luck, have witnessed an extraordinary sight: a pride of lions moving through the scrub. Batian, the pride male, rangy and beautiful; Rafiki and Furaha, his sisters, sleek and powerful; and Gareth, the other male, older, two-legged and human. Gareth Patterson, a young Englishman, adopted three orphaned lions in Kenya and moved the cubs to the safety of the Tuli in southern Botswana. Here, he and his girlfriend Julie made camp in an isolated spot and set about returning the lions to the wild state, divorcing them from the only family they knew - mankind.

A former assistant to George Adamson of 'BORN FREE' fame, Patterson has made his life's work the care of young, orphaned lions and their rehabilitation into the wild. His message is an ecological one, but seen through the medium of the most beautiful of the big cats.
